I cannot see a video.

when you see four of those Wordstudy Bible Dictionary books and all your brain sees is the ‘Word’ and the fact that they are fat books and you freak out thinking that you found alternate cover versions of WoR.

Both have Sanderson books within, so why not look forward to both?

True! One of the best gifts I received was the Shademar Urithiru Oathgate poster.  It’s coming soon and I can’t wait to find a spot for it!!

My sister is listening to The Lost Metal on her phone and she reached a specific part in The Lost Metal where you learn a specific thing (not telling, but maybe you can figure it out) and I showed her the cover of Secret History (which I got for Christmas! ) and said "diamonds" and she threw her phone on the floor.

Not specifically Sanderson but general bookworm

When you buy a discman just so you have a way to listen to the WoK audiobook you borrowed from the library on your road trip.

When your little brother asks what the big deal about reading is and what books he should read that are actually good and you launch a three year plan to make him become a Sanderfan. 
 

First I read Alcatraz to him for his first taste of Sanderson, getting him to fall in love with it. Then once he is slightly older I Introduce him to Mistborn, subtly hinting at its brilliance for weeks before I get him to read it, after his acclimation with Brandon’s style of writing I tell him that this book is actually apart of a larger universe. By now, he’s hooked and I get him to read Warbreaker, Elantris and perhaps a few non Cosmere works. The final blow is the Stormlight Archive. The majesty that is tWoK pulls him over to our side.
There’s more but that will take to long to explain, I have an entire section in my notebook outlining my plan in full.

Don't forget about Emperor's Soul! It's short, but it's soo good, so I'd suggest it closer to the beginning.

Just make sure he doesn't see the notebook. or write it in a text he can't understand, like something from the Cosmere

I once had a really cool Mistborn cake that my grandma made me. I might be able to find a picture of it somewhere...

It was for my twelfth or thirteenth birthday, instead of my sixteenth. Which would have been more thematically appropriate.
