I mean, I think the point is that the 'Kindle Fire' is the actual name of the device...

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When you spend a week trying to decide on the perfect Cosmere name for your new parakeet.

I finally gave up a little and just named him Kaladin. (The other one is Kiwi, by the way. It took me far less time to decide on that).

When you're in a huge emotional slump and all you want to do is read Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians.

[Shard of Reading he/him]

When you wish you could quote as much of mistborn as you can the hobbit. (A good paragraph and a half plus a little more[I did not even try to memorize it I just re-read it a lot]) 

[+Doomstick he/him]

when you memorized the “the wheel of time turns” paragraph

[PiedPiper she/her]

When you see your dad reading a book and think "he's not supposed to do that!"

[Emi she/her]

When you got a briliand idea one second ago, that you will name your dog Soonie. (Now I don't have to worry about my future dog's name anymore!)

Spoiler

Like really, this name fits well to my dream dog:

YKYASFW your aunt, who I believe I’ve mentioned on here before, texts you out of the blue and says:

 

“I LOVE IT SO MUUUCH!!

And WHAT THE HECK?!?!

And I KNEW IT!!!!

And WHYYYYYY?!!!

Shhh. Stop bothering me. I’m trying to read.”

 

Might I add that this was within 60 seconds. She is currently reading Hero of Ages, although the last time I talked with her she was on The Well of Ascension, so she’s moving a lot quicker than I anticipated. The first book I introduced her to was Elantris, and she loved that one too.

My reaction is more like:

Oh cool magic!

More magic!

Worldbuilding!

This makes perfect sense. Why did I not guess it earlier?

Hey fellow nerds, I’m going to ask you to do something for me. I need a name for a goat I’m showing this year. I want it to fit my theme that I’m using for sheep. This theme is Warbreaker. For sheep, I have Blushweaver, Lightsong, Bluefingers, Colors, Siri, Scoot, Vasher, and Nightblood. The goat is female and she looks like most boer goats (check the spoiler). This is a bit off topic, but I figured it's pretty nerdy to name all my animals after Warbreaker characters.

Fafen, after Siri and Vivenna's sister who became a monk, both because it fits the theme, is female, and sounds like a sound a goat would make

Jewels, maybe? Vivenna/Siri? Endowment/Edgli? And I am personally offended that you didn't name one Clod.

I had a few I needed to use like Vasher, Siri, and Lightsong. I had a Vivenna but I changed her to Scoot.

[Rosharan A.C. he/him]

What about one of the other Returned? There’s Calmseer, the kind one that Lifesong respected before she died. Or you could do Allmother or Calmseer, two other female Returned. You could also name her after Shashara, who was Vasher’s wife and helped create sentient Awakened objects. She was one of the Five Scholars.

Edgli, perhaps? Turns out, Endowment wasn’t a dragon this whole time, she was a goat!

IT’S ADORABLE. GIVE IT ALL YOUR BREATH. I second Fafen or Calmseer. 

You know you’re a Sanderfan when you’ve dreamed so many times about reading RoW that in your dream, you literally think “This has been going on for too long and is too detailed to be a dream this time! This is the real book!”

I don't know if I've ever told this story, but I once had an oddly prophetic dream involving Oathbringer. A few months before the cover art was revealed, I dreamed I was at a Wal-Mart, in their measly book section, and I saw Oathbringer sitting there, with a cover that was very similar to what the NA cover was (As in it had the same character on the cover, holding a shardblade). 

Now, fast forward to post Oathbringer's release, I'm leisurely walking around Wal-Mart, and I decide to walk through the book aisle- and there it is, Oathbringer. In a store that has never once, nor at any time since stocked a single Sanderson book.

Kinda weird right?

[AonEne he/him]

Yes! They pretty much never have Sanderson books, but that’s where I bought Oathbringer from, just because that’s where I first encountered it!

Oh my! The plot thickens. (I did an Amazon preorder for day one reading purposes)

I'm telling you people in books having foresight dreams are totally real, I dreamed about a big reveal in a TV show and it was right! Although I can't be sure if I saw a video theory before or after the dream with the same prediction, but I'm pretty sure it was after.
