Yes, January boxes haven't been shipped yet, so Brandon released the February boxes early.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply. I was kinda worried something screwed up on my end for a moment there.

Just a short question, as I am a little confused. Does the first book arrive In a different box separate from the hood goodies? I remember reading somewhere that the January boxes might be delayed for some. Does that mean I received the February box before the January one? 

I'm positively stoked for the release. I preordered it and it'll arrive on release day. Although I'll be out of town release day and won't be able to read it until Thursday...

The most alluring choice for me has always been Feruchemical Steel. Being able to store speed when I don't need it is so good when your life involves as much sitting as mine. The other choice has to be Feruchemical Brass. The ability to regulate my own body temperature is too good to pass up. With hot summers and cold winters, why would I pass on it? The final one has got to be Feruchemical Duralumin. Perfect for traveling and getting around places. Not to mention being able to fade out of the public consciousness at will. 

The runner ups are Allomantic Tin, Feruchemical Gold, Feruchemical Pewter, and Feruchemical Iron. Feruchemy is definitely my magic of choice.

Granted, but you're alone on a random planet made completely out of feruchemical metals in our universe (so the magic wouldn't work anyway).

I wish I could quit my job.

Granted, but you become unable to get another one.

I wish I could write better.

I prefer storming or flaming.

I just like the whole scene of him insulting people in WoK. At the party.

This one from Oathbringer gave me goosbumps.

I really like that whole section.

I checked my ebook library to see if they had OB yet. I clicked on my recommendations to see, and had a flash of joy. It was on hold. I looked at my holds, and was #28 of 1 copy... That thoroughly ruined my morning.

I actually find it to be not so likeable as well, even if it is a good book that I... somewhat enjoyed. That's mainly because I'm turned off by the strong emphasis the book puts on sex and how relevant it is to the story. It just... really bothers me. I feel like Sanderson should know better, or at least keep it at higher standards.

So I'd say that yeah, it's my least favorite cosmere novel (with the exception of White Sand, but I haven't even read the whole thing, so that doesn't really count).

That summed up my thoughts perfectly.

I'm just hoping it stays true to the book.

Feruchemy all the way.

My older brother who started SA two weeks ago got OB before me. He didn't even know about it before last week. I've been waiting for months for OB to release. Life is so unfair.  

Also we share an audible account.

Sorry I will write a little off-topic, but what in the world is "body related language", and why would anyone need to be warned about it? I am seriously curious. Does that include words like "leg", "hand" or just words describing ehhh... taboo places? Or did I misunderstand it completely? Also is "body related language" actually a phrase used IRL, or was it just created for the purpose of this one post? 

Turning body parts into cuss words. I draw the line there.

Thanks again! I've bookmarked this thread so when I need a book to read, I have one! 

Just a few more questions. I imagine if these were clean someone would have already mentioned them, but I thought I'd check anyway. Yes or no answers are great, my definition of clean is Warbreaker.

• The Martion, Andy Weir
• Imager Portfolio, L.E. Modessit
• Terry Pratchett Books, someone mentioned Color's Of Magic, how are his other ones?

I read until about book 20 of Discworld and stopped there. The language worse depending on the sub series.Though I don't remember any sex scenes. There were multiple prostitute references and body part related language

Alcatraz could perform the seemingly impossible and break Kaladin's perpetual gloominess. Aydee and Lift would probably become great friends, especially once the former starts using her Talent to miscount large quantities of food so Lift can become extra-Awesome. And Jasnah and Navani would probably be driven insane trying to make sense of Smedry Talents.

That seems about correct.

Welcome to the shard!

Why don't you go to the perfectly normal bakery in my signature.

That clears things up.

Also, when's the next game? I keep checking the spreadsheet, but I cant find it.

 @Elbereth Thank you for answering my horribly phrased question. I just wanted to know if the roleplaying aspect makes it more difficult. 

How is this comparable to forum mafia? Is it more difficult, or is it way more complicated?

I think you can't, but I still have much to learn. I think there is a WoB that says you can't.

Welcome to the 17th shard! Why not click on the bakery in my signature. You won't regret it.

Edit: Forgot that I have become an Ookla...

I want to gather all of the Ookla traits. It'll be painfu-less.

I was going through some WoB with the tag "Hemalurgy", and found this.

Where have we seen it?
