  1. guess I'll find out later.
  2. Guess people are too embarrassed by their reading material? Just want to know if iPhone pictures can be uploaded here straight from the phone or not before trying.
  3. I'm going to post my library when I get the chance.
  4. Quick! The SAVE file has been corrupted and everyone in Undertale has been replaced with a character from a Sanderson book. Who do you think is depressing enough to replace Napstablook? Motherly enough to replace Toriel? Has legs hot enough to replace Mettaton? Can sell ice cream as well as the Nice Cream Man? Tough enough to replace Undyne? This is just meant to be a fun thread so go crazy with the replacements if you want!
  5. My Sanderson Read-a-thon status:

    Complete: WOT trilogy, Elantris 1.0, White Sand 1 (will reread later on), Alcatraz 1

    Next to read: Mistborn Era 1 book 1

    Not Yet Bought: The Dark Talent, Words of Radiance, Steelheart, Firefight, Alloy of Law, Shadows of Self, Bands of Mourning

  6. I wish he would come to the DFW area, that's where I live. I probably could do a road trip depending on where the closest one is, like if it's Oklahoma City or Louisiana I could do it, especially since it's being released during my vacation, exactly 1 week before my birthday.
  7. Which was weird since I normally like stuff similar to Galavant but it just didn't do it for me for some reason. I didn't really crack a smile or had a quirk at the corner of my mouth. The pronunciations were so horrid that I kept mentally correcting it when I watched it. I really didn't like how all the good guys were white but all the villains were Indian. I understand having the nations being represented as different races by having the Fire Nation being Indian, Earth Kingdom supposedly being Blacks (M. Night had mentioned if Book 2 was made that the Earth Kingdom would be majorly Black) and the Water Tribes being White I guess? Now if he had went more having thought it out better then it maybe would've worked, but this guy is famous for not having anyone edit his scripts for him. It makes you wonder if he misunderstood the point of the show or thought he could 'improve' it (like how water, earth and airbenders actually need their elements present but firebenders didn't I guess). Maybe if he didn't try to cram 22 episodes into 1 hour and a half film... I tend to think on this film that it had a twist.. That he could take a good story and ruin it.
  8. I realized after posting that I should've said writing order and not release order. It's more trying to figure out how the calendar will look than anything. The last bit though surprised me since the wording is that he wants to go Stormlight 4, unknown book and then right on to Stormlight 5. Knowing how long those take it surprised me that there won't be much of a gap, you just know that unknown book will be written in three months tops.
  9. This group is going to be one big joke: WOT Game of Thrones Kingkiller Chronicles Lord of the Rings If you get the joke you get a cookie!
  10. But it doesn't give context! If someone came along and read that they'd wonder "Why break into a library to steal some sand?! And does his grandpa being late have to do with this? Is he a thief?" so it explains the plot badly, but accurately.
  11. #1 I'm doing a, hopefully, straight read of Sanderson so I'll be getting to it after Mistborn Era 1. My only regret is that it's the small paperback that's over 1200 pages so it's going to a pain to hold. #2 That would depend on the powers. If it gives me teleportation like Nightcrawler then I'll eat it. If it basically turns me into Aquaman then no thanks. I'm that picky with superpowers.
  12. When I was talking about the shorts I meant I wasn't going to pick up Dangerous Women just for Silence. I do own AU so I've got the Cosmere shorts covered anyway.
  13. That's my next read so I'll be getting there soon.
  14. What's the Dark Alley? Is it a Shard thing or something from the books?
  15. Pretty much this is where you can talk about any form of entertainment that you did not enjoy once you had finished watching/reading it. The latest one for me was Divergent. The premise sounded interesting but Tris just did not gel with me at all. Reading her thoughts wasn't really that enjoyable and she did not hit the good notes that made Katniss great to read. The only good thing was when Four appeared since he was a great character. This one might be controversial but I did not enjoy watching Firefly at all. It bored me more than anything by the end of it. Yes I watched it in the actual order. The characters were either unlikeable, dull or made me question why I was supposed to be routing for them. Sadly the only character that was likeable was the companion, I forget these guys names, because she was the only one who wasn't horrible or dull to watch. I did get the movie afterwards to see how it ended and maybe have something good come out of this show and felt the same. This is coming from someone who enjoys watching Whedon's stuff so that tells something was bad about this show. Also didn't enjoy Galavant when it was on. It was dumb and the jokes fell flat. The first season was too bad for me to even try looking at the second season. Transformers. I only saw the first film and that was enough to swear me off the films. I liked the designs of the Autobots and Decepticons but everything else was garbage. Give me the cartoons any day. I'm not even going to comment on the universally agreed Eragon film (enjoyed the first two books but was getting sick of the heros attitude during the third. The other characters kept me going to the fourth), Last Airbender (sadly I saw this in 3D) and the Percy Jackson films.
  16. I'm one of those readers that loves reading interesting and different stories and I'm interested in knowing more about Roshar, Scadrial, Sel, Nathis and the other Cosmere worlds. I'm kind of interested in doing a chronological read once things get more complete just to see the history unfold. But anyway, I became invested in a different way than the Mistborn way by being introduced and interested with WOT, getting excited after White Sand and becoming a lifelong Sanderfan after Elantris so I'll enjoy anything Brandon writes at this point.
  17. I tried reading that straight through. I almost burned myself out a few times. Seriously had to take breaks with other books. The worst was when the long summer starts and I got to it during a heat wave.
  18. I'm currently reading Scarlet, book 2 of the Lunar Chronicles. I had read Cinder earlier in the year and loved it. When I'm done I'm going to be doing my Sanderson Read, which I had started back in May with Elantris, by reading all of his library in order of release. I can go straight from Mistborn 1.1 through Alcatraz 4 before needing to buy one of the 7 I don't own just yet. Don't know if I'll take a break, even a one book break, to refresh myself but I'm going to try going all the way through without reading anything else from Mistborn to Oathbringer since I think I won't be getting to most of the later stuff until that one, but I'm not sure yet.
  19. Let me make an educated guess here: Cookies are offered by the dark side, libraries sometimes give out cookies, there's a series about evil librarians... StrikerEZ is an EVIL LIBRARIAN!
  20. I haven't yet read The Way of Kings, shocking I know, since I got distracted by other books like the rest of WOT, the Percy Jackson sequel series, Lunar Chronicles and other stories. So far I've only read Elantris, White Sand 1 and Alcatraz 1. I have all the books (minus short stories since I don't feel like collecting the things their in just for one story) except for W&W (wanna read Era 1 before grabbing them), Dark Talent, Words of Radiance, Steelheart and Firefight (I have Calamity on account of Black Friday having a sale on signed editions). I'm going pretty much in release order so my next read is going to be Mistborn: The Final Empire. And yes, I know about the Cosmere.
  21. I know they are all separate universes, but what if they had someone working for the Guard who monitors the multiverse looking for possible worlds similar to the Reckoners Earth but is dismissing the other Earths for looking too 'impossible' (the United States islands of Rithmatist, the 'extra' continents and exclusion of France from Alcatraz) and thus are not part of the universe.
  22. I would hope so, I haven't got the first two yet. I'm almost hoping the collection is done similar to AU, but done like a record being kept by someone, in a similar role to Khriss, at the Apocalypse Guard?
  23. Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians
  24. Let me make sure I understand the release order being posted: AG 1 Unknown Novella AG 2 Unknown Novella AG 3 Mistborn 2.4/W&W 4, Rithmatist 2, Legion 3 (unknown order) Stormlight 4 Unplanned bizarre book Stormlight 5!? I hope the earth based stories collection finds a place somewhere in there, maybe between Stormlight 4 and 5?
  25. Hi, I've been a lurker for a while and finally decided to make an account. I only started reading Mr. Sanderson's books last year but I've owned one for longer than that, the book being The Way of Kings. It took me a while to get around because I spent a long while reading the Wheel of Time, I know Brandon wrote the last three but I'm not sure whether they should count or not, along with not actually having his other books. As you can tell from the title I'm also an aspiring writer and my username is the name of the main character from my main fantasy story I'm writing. Hope to enjoy my time here!
