Hello Everybody!

[Goatbringer he/him]

I'm a long-time lurker on Sanderson-related fansites and a first-time member! I thought I'd introduce myself to you guys, along with a few points you might find interesting:

- I'm from Ottawa, Canada but I now live in Johannesburg, South Africa after meeting my South African wife on a 'Wheel of Time' fan group on Facebook eight years ago. Wheel of Time is also how I slipped into the Cosmere, as I loved what Brandon did with the final three books of the series that changed my life. 

- I named myself Goatbringer because I like goats, it sounded like Oathbringer and most of all I wanted a punny nickname but I was signing up for my membership at like 6 am before having coffee (I was really keen on that Aether of Night copy). 

- My favourite book in the Cosmere is Words of Radiance (so far). Like I said, I'm a huge WoT fan, so any huge, sprawling epics are my absolute favourite. Everything about this book was incredible: Kaladin fighting the four shardbearers, Shallan's backstory, Kaladin's embracing of who he is, the Everstorm.... I'd say it's going to take a monumental effort for Oathbringer to top this, but somehow, I have absolute faith in Brandon.

- I got to meet Brandon in Toronto a few years ago (something like 2011 or 2012?) when he was on tour promoting The Emperor's Soul. I dressed as an Asha'man and got to the store 6 hours before he was scheduled to arrive and was second in line to meet him. He signed all my books and chatted with me about seeing Robert Jordan's notes about the end of the series. Seriously cool and I hope I get to go to another signing for all the books I have of his since then.

Anyways I'll probably keep lurking unless something really interesting catches my eye. Talk to y'all later!
