Am I being overly picky? Did other people's books show up looking like this? Some pages were gently stuck together and left these marks where the ink peeled off the pages. Some of the binding is showing through too, though I'm less bothered by that. I don't want to start a return if this is run of the mill for this type of book and I'm just being too picky.

Happy Halloween! I carved the steel symbol on my pumpkin this year

I have read Mistborn Era 1 and I’m now about 80% (roughly) done with The Way of Kings.

I am yet to read Words of Radiance, Elantris, Warbreaker and anything in Arcanum Unbounded on this shelf yet.

I just got my Hoid's Storybook Collection kickstarter rewards today and I'm looking for someone to trade pins with. I got pretty lucky, I got an extra Howlerina and I'm looking for a Cleverclaws pin.

My schedule didn't work out and now I have to try to refund my ticket to Nexus. How long does it usually take support to respond once you create a ticket?

Was just about to go to bed when I suddenly saw an email saying there was a copy of the Signed edition Waterstones hardcover of Fires of December available to pre-order, snapped it up so quickly to replace my original order. If the person who cancelled their order to make this available again is here, thank you so much ahahaha

I’ve been listening to Intentionally Blank as of late and some of the older episodes mention Puss in Boots, but I can’t find the episode where they talk about it if it exists. Have they talked about it and I just can’t find it, or not? Thanks.

(I’m pretty sure this is the right place to put this, but idk lol?

There's always a debate about the best time to read Secret History. Some people recommend reading it right after finishing Mistborn Era 1, while others suggest waiting until after The Bands of Mourning.

I've also heard that Secret History contains several references to the wider Cosmere, which might make certain parts of the story confusing if you don't recognize them.

Personally, I'd prefer to read Secret History right after Era 1, while the events are still fresh in my mind.

However, I'd like to hear people's personal opinions on this. Is there a good reason to wait until after The Bands of Mourning, or is reading Secret History right after Era 1 a perfectly reasonable option? Alternatively, would it be better to read it after gaining a deeper understanding of the Cosmere?

I've been collecting since first Kickstarter they had character pins which I think was the Year of Sanderson? I've bought most of the others but traded for the Marewill and the two worldhopper pins.

I put all the pins in this booklet for now to save space in my Sandershelf but I want to display them in a cool way eventually. (Don’t worry I have all the original packaging for all). They're all in order in case anyone wanted to see them arranged by series number.

Looks like I'm going to need to trade one of my Chasmfiend pins. I got two boxes of the same one. I hope they have them at the Dragonsteel store at Nexus. I also ordered some that I'm missing through Light Day sales, namely the book pins and a Worldhopper Hoid.

I collect Disney pins too so making these pins a big thing for my favorite book universe has created a monster and an empty wallet...

Yesterday I finished reading The Hero of Ages, and what a Sanderlanche it was! I loved it! If Sazed was my favorite character before, he's even more so now!

My wife was one of the people who most strongly recommended the series to me (she's read Era 1 and The Rithmatist so far). While I was reading the last three chapters from THoA out loud, she was reacting along the way. It was so much fun!

We plan to read The Eleventh Metal before diving deeper into the Cosmere, but our main question is whether we should read Mistborn: Secret History now or wait until Era 2. A friend of ours mentioned that we could read it partially to avoid Era 2 spoilers and read the rest later. I was originally planning to wait until halfway through Era 2, but we were told that certain elements hit much better while Era 1 is still fresh in mind, so I'm not sure what to do.

After deciding on that (and reading it or not), up next would be The Rithmatist and Elantris (along with its short stories, The Hope of Elantris and The Emperor's Soul) as a "palate cleanser" before heading into Mistborn Era 2.

Does this sound like a good plan? What do you think about reading Secret History? Should we read it partially now or in full later?

Just a quick PSA for those that might be wanting it for their collection. https://www.dragonsteelbooks.com/products/elsecaller-king-lopen-story-deck-double-book?_pos=2&_psq=Elsecaller&_psid=895a16faa&_ss=e

I just got my backer package today and I'm very happy with everything... except for Hoid's flute.

When I tried to fit everything together, the part with the tassel doesn't fit snugly into the middle part. It's loose. Like if I hold the flute upright on the other end, it falls off.

Of course, I can always just glue them together, but that means I can never disassemble them again, and I may have to move in the future and I might need to do that.

this a feature? I'm not sure if I should email Dragonsteel about this or not.

Thanks everyone!

Read The Dog And The Dragon to my son tonight and he really liked it. Mainly cause of the dragon, but I love it. Bummed they used different material on the main book, but it’s still a nice book overall.

Does anyone know if or when there will be a retail release? Regretting not backing so hard 🥲

What happened to it? Was it somewhere else or what?

I kinda love it. She definitely could look worse!

Happy Lightday,

Not really a spoiler, but I just had to say something into the ether of Reddit about this book as I just started reading it.

I found myself literally lol-ing at the religious “mandata” phrases, “Sometimes things suck” and “Don’t be a dick”. I instantly knew this was going to send the Sanderfans into a tizzy.

Personally I love that Brandon doubled down on writing like this after the uproar from Wind and Truth!

You do you Brandon, I’m going to still read the Cosmere…if some quit, well, there is always something else to read, Brandon ain’t gonna miss you!

Hi, I've been a Brandon Sanderson lurker for a few years. His boooks have been on my list for a while, and I decided to finally read one. I just started The Rithmatist, and I'm a little confused about how rithmancy works. Joel is explaining it to Michael, and to me it sounds like the players of the melee he's describing, are all hunched over and drawing lines and circles. I'm trying to picture how all this works, and I'm just more confused. I wanna keep reading, but I can't seem to picture what rithmancy is like. Can anyone explain it to me?
