  1. It has been a long debated topic on what Cosmere reading order is the best. Many have been proposed since the beginning of time till now. which order is the best? they all say it's one or another... But they are all wrong. Every single one of them is wrong. There are many things wrong with their orders. They don't have connections well done, they don't maximize series cohesion for the new reader's enjoyment. They often choose one over the other. You see, the greatest Cosmere reading order is the one I have produced over long trial and error. Only I could create this spectacular and entirely amazing reading order. It took me an eternity. An eternity that lasted half an hour of thinking about this over the past two years. I have come up with one of the best, if not the best, reading order that brings together story cohesion and connections in a nice bow. I have prioritized figuring this order out because my friends are reading the Cosmere. I, as the book dealer, want to give them the best quality order for the best quality of books to help their addiction- I mean... journey along. In the end, I have come upon two orders with only slight differences. One where the short stories are almost all read together, in the other the stories are spread out. If you are borrowing Arcanum Unbounded, I recommend that you go with the first order. If you own Arcanum Unbounded, I recommend the latter. The best order is the latter, but the first one works just as well for enjoyment. Hint for new readers: pay attention to those epigraphs. (fair warning, I put slight explanations of each story in front of each one as if this were a pitch to a new reader. For the more important ones, I put in more detailed descriptions) The first: The second order (the novella order):' Hey, I had a lot of fun putting that together (despite the fact that I had to rewrite the whole list once because spoiler boxes can be ridiculous). I'd be glad for feedback, especially on where to put some of the short stories. otherwise, I think I did a good job, as my arrogant intro might suggest. I was doing my best Daniel Greene impression. As Sean Astin once said, "Go reading!"
  2. Gets Starlight Shimmer. Inserts Journey before Pancakes.
  3. You know you don't want to do school when you turn on piano versions of some of your favorite songs, and the one of Counting Stars makes you think of a super dramatic moment you just made up for at the end of a show, movie or book.

  4. I have been lending cosmere novels to two friends of mine. Once one of them is reading the Way of Kings, I'll bring up the Shard.

    Each time they're theorizing something completely wrong, I try to keep my face completely neutral. Like, one of them was reading Mistborn and was like 'Yeah, I knew it was the Lord Ruler's journal the whole time..." and I was like *thumbs up* "that makes sense..."

    Hey, I also figured out a nigh perfect Cosmere reading order. It's similar to publication order, but with some variations for connections. I'm going to post a topic about it soon.

      I’m excited to see the reading order. And my friend spoiled the existence of Atium misting to me, but that wasn’t that bad. I just knew that Yomen wasn’t a Mistborn.

      I accidentally deleted the entire list I'd created for the reading order... 13 entries long...

      *dying inside* 

      excuse me as I go scream into a pillow before rewriting the whole thing.

  5. My laptops at one percent-

    Dying quickly

  6. That sounds epic!
  7. Why would I? All the people in Andor were saying it in that episode, so it's not like if I said no, you couldn't use the quote from one of the other billion people who said it.
  8. So... You're saying tanavast is named Tan? That bloody tan...
  9. the bad thing about Shallan is that her arc in RoW is bad imo.
  10. They could throw leaves at one of the orcs and say "Leaf me alone!"
  11. I JUST FOUND OUT SOMETHING BIG. Ryan Reynold's wife's sister is a member of the church. That sister was in Dwight in Shining Armor, that one byu tv show. That sister is also married to coach what's his face from high school musical and he's also in the church. How did I not know this-
  12. You know when you turn on a song and then you immediately think "Yup, that's that characters' theme song..."

    Well I found Kvothe's. At least for the first two hundred and something pages of Name of the Wind.

    Trouble (extended version) by the Chosen and the Lower Saints.

    It's perfect.

      Aaahhhh I’ll listen to that. And judge. Because I love my Kvothe.

  13. Fine. I'll do it myself *votes for sleep*
  14. Hey, I'm curious... Apparently 918 people were online early in the morning... was that because of the site update automatically made people online or just a lot of people had the itch to pop on the Shard?
  15. I have just realized how absolutely insane what I just looked up seems to someone who isn't a writer.

    "What's the most painful way to kill someone?"

    Like... wow.

    If the FBI weren't watching me before...

      I can't wait till I'm writing some book and the fbi arrive and are like "Well, we've looked at your search history. We know your plan, Thaidakar. We know that you are going to try to blow up the world only using things you can find in a medieval castle."

  16. I- *indecision and chaos*
  17. I swear- getting the hang of this life thing is so tedious.

    Today has been... a day...

    Tomorrow is sunday, so that's good though. 

    It's been rough finding the right time to write. Especially when I'm still figuring out how to crack the code to getting all of what I need to get done in a week... in a week.

    *sigh*

  18. What do you mean!? A deer could be added. The vin-ison.
