Waiting to see if it comes in mail if not sending someone to barnes and noble since I can't drive.

I'll be alright as long as Stormlight spoiler

Worse than expected. Normally they put in 2-3 anchors, for me they put in 8. Also had to cut and reattach biceps tendon. And weller still can't tell me if they've even shipped row. So I'll do what any dedicated sharder would do. If it doesn't come on tomorrow's mail I send a minion to barnes and noble.

I wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes and support. About to roll into the operating room. On ch. 83 of my OB rr so hopefully I'm lucid later today.

Who Else is Avoiding RoW Preview Chapters?
Chanarach replied to ILuvHats's topic in Stormlight Archive
I know the feeling. I really need to hear the pages crackle to really feel it. So far I've avoided all samples too. I really hate reading books off a screen, though ill read my dawnshard pdf before starting row in earnest. -
I'm going in virginal, as well. The anticipation level is tempered by a growing sense of panic as I haven't even got a shipping notification yet. Course I'm only on ch. 78 of my OB reread so I should get back to reading.

I'd be more worried about Odium manipulating someone into using Nightblood on Culti. Maybe a little nick is all that's needed for jackanapes Rayse to pull off another splintering.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Chanarach replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
You refer to the author as Grandmaster Sanderson (or Grandmaster B for short). -
Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!
Chanarach replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
Haven't seen a shipping notification yet so trying to resign myself to not getting RoW on the 17th. Course it might not matter because I'm obsessing when I should be reading (only on chapter 69 of my OB rr). -
I think where I'm at with Shallan is just hoping she does have 50 chapters (hyperbole) in RoW. I'd liked her originally and I'd like to like her again, but I don't see a path there, yet. I'm big on personal responsibility and fidelity, and I'm not seeing that. She seems to be playing for team Shallan, which is fine. Self interest is great, but line is crossed when you are willing to take resources or use anyone for what you can get out of them. She had had trauma and is not well, that's a fact, but I'm not convinced she's not using it as a crutch. In addition her overweening arrogance is extremely off-putting. Though, it was pretty hilarious when she was like, "Jasnah, baby, im like a badass master radiant who's saving the world. Who are you?" And Jasnah is like. Ok, chick, where's you armor?

It's no big. The use of the word pun in thread title just made me think of it.

Mine are pretty cool. Wasn't always the case, but we are 39, 34, and 29 now so that's all water under the bridge across the Windrunner River, these days.

It's the industry standard. Always been that wayThere are a couple reasons. Easy of distribution abd a level playing field dmfor all booksellers. Also the bestseller charts come out on Tuesday allowing for a full week of momentum.

Unpopular Brandon Sanderson Opinions
Chanarach replied to not an Evil Librarian's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Regardless, He's got Syl, he don't need no hussy. -
1. Yes. An aspect or an avatar. Everything is part of the One. 2. Glys is corrupted. But, it might be a Truthwatcher spren ability. For instance, High Spren (skybreakers) chose who hears and sees them, including their surgebinder. 3. I think so. Seems to align with one of the Windrunner virtues, leading. 4. I think later? On chapter 55 of my reread so unsure. 5. Not sure if there's any special significance. Could be soulcast or altered by surgebinding. 6. Too much to unpack without its own dedicated thread. Largely a war of survival on the humans part and a war of genocide on the singers part. The singers didn't want them around to begin with, and humans did things Singers didn't like. 7. Greed, lust for power, axe to grind. Giving your pain to Odium is definitely a thing. I'm sure some genuinely believed in the cause, as well. 8. No. Someone switched then out. Either because they wanted it or because they wanted to obscure Taln's identity. 9. A bit previous to the Recreance and "false desolation." Every generation of Knights Radiant learned "the truth," but was bolstered and reassured by Honor. That was the first generation where that didn't take place. (Roughly 2000 years ago, 2500 years after the "Last Desolation") 10. Good question. Odium's investiture may have been Obscuring. Also. The surviving humans were using Aluminum to shield soulcasters from detection. 11. Jasnah may have. It's a good bet Nale and some of his skybreakers have as well. 12. Another Lightweaver imprisoned her and "understood" her. I think it has something to do with that. Though Shallan's madness and fractured soul may play a part. 13. Pattern was sensing the existence of the gem library/archive. The Shadesmar part was an assumption on Shallan's part. 14. I think Nale would only recruit those he thought would make good skybreakers. The High Spren trust his judgment and won't bond anyone doesn't vouch for. 15. I don't think we do. He might have, Helaran was a skybreaker apprentice who hadn't bonded yet. 16. Tien 17. I'd say so. She mentions oaths that Teft swore. 18. Because Kaladin exists. 19. Cuz Lift is freaky! Lol I think because she has abilities that's shouldn't be possible under normal circumstances. 20. Because Mr. T gave Graves permission to follow his own interpretation of the Diagram. Killing Elhokar was Grave's jam. 21. We know they have them. That's about it. 22. Esoteric knowledge is the Truthwatcher jam. Also might have to do with his corrupted spren and Renarin possibly voidbinding. 23. Might have to do with efficiency of voidlight and how it operates. For instance, surgebinders accelerate faster, but voidbinders attain higher top end speed. 24. Never a slave, his Bridge 4 tat is on shoulder. 25. No. Its the hue not the color. Dark gray would be dark eyes, tan lighteyes. 26. No sure about this. Possibly looking for something specific. 27. Nahel Bond 28. Souls are easier to detect there and some burn. Brighter than others. 29. I don't think we know much. 30. Skybreakers. Dead to the world.

What are you playing right now?
Chanarach replied to Link Von Kelsier Harvey's topic in Entertainment Discussion
Got a confirmation email and they charged my card, so hopefully I'll soon be playing ps5. Supposed to arrive sat after RoW with Godfall and Demon Souls. -
Thanks Nameless. Right now just focused on recovering RoW.i got one of those super big reading pillows and a lap desk.
-
Good call, Aspire. Makes sense. Didnt occur to on my latest cosmere reread. Then again, the only thing that really occurred to me is Brandon maybe watching a bit too much Indiana Jones. "It belongs in a museum!" That and the sweet afterglow of that shotgun blast.
