Yeaahh... if you could send this to me, that would be great.

Thanks for an awesome giveaway! You realize,of course, that you (someone... anyone!) could sell a goodly number of these fabulous little chalk bags if you so chose. *hinthint* *nudgenudge* That being said, I might just pee myself a bit in excitement if I were to win one of them! Just a little smidge, mind you. ;o)

I was a Wheel of Time fan for many, many years and was devastated when Robert Jordan passed away in 2007. Not just because the WoT was unfinished, but because the loss of the man himself was so very tragic. Shortly thereafter, I learned that Brandon had been chosen by Harriet to finish the series. Long story short (you can check out the long version on a recent blog post of mine, if you're interested, and also learn about how Brandon already knew me when I finally met him!), after the announcement about Brandon, I picked up Elantris and Mistborn: The Final Empire in paperback while visiting some friends I'd met online via Dragonmount.com's Yahoo Group. I had to check this guy out, don'tcha know, to be sure he would do the end of my beloved series justice. Yeah, I was one of those. *hangs head in shame* So I read Elantris first, since it was a standalone and whoaaa.... it blew me away. It was unlike any fantasy book I'd ever read. It was fantastic. I wanted to read it again right away but I just HAD to see what Mistborn was all about. Again. Mind blown. So from the get-go, I was a hard and fast Brandon Sanderson fan and since then, I buy whatever he publishes as soon as (and sometimes before) it's published. I would love to go into what a fan I've become but I've already detailed that in the blog post I mentioned earlier. Do check it out!

Hey, all. I don't actually frequent the forums but I had a story I wanted to share with other fans of Brandon's regarding how I recently had the pleasure and the privilege to finally meet him at a small Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico. So I wrote a blog post to talk about it... and about why it was so phenomenal for me. So without further ado, this is the story of how I met Brandon Sanderson and he already knew me. Kind of. http://writingaboutreading.com/2012/08/27/whats-up-brandon/

An ARC of this book would be the ultimate cool... a signed and personalized ARC? *speechless*

More books from Brandon would definitely be a good thing!

I can't yet say whether I like one series 'better' than the other... The Wheel of Time is like an old friend and even when I gripe about tea-drinking scenes, it's in good humor. The Way of Kings is so drastically different than anything else in this genre and the scope of the story... wow, after just one book I'm wondering how much information we'll be given throughout the course of this series. After only two read-throughs of this first book, I already feel pretty attached to Kaladin & Company so I think that a couple more books will definitely turn this series into one of my all-time favorites. Win, Brandon... epic win.

Hey, all... this is my first post though I've been looking through threads for awhile now. I received an ARC of The Way of Kings and plowed through it before the release date. At which time I downloaded the audio and listened to it, since I couldn't yet bring myself to handle my shiny new, numbered/signed HC. So, I've read it twice and discussed it much with some friends on an offshoot of Dragonmount.com's Wheel of Time mailing list but thought I'd pop in over here to say hello. I absolutely loved this book. Brandon really knocked it out of the park this time! The art is amazing, the epigraphs are wonderfully tantalizing, the characters are IMO, well-rounded, the world is fascinating and the story, the story is incredible. After two reads, I feel I could read through several more times and find bits that I'd previously overlooked. Also, I enjoyed the flashbacks. *nod* I don't want to ramble too much, though I am prone to doing so... just wanted to pop in and express my excitement over this book and the impending series, though my feelings aren't hurt at all that Brandon is finishing WoT before book 2 of this series.
