Iโ€™m still reading Rhythm of War and just decided to start 3 other books. Why? My Libby holds came through and I panicked.

I wish I could say I got a lot of reading done today, but I sat down to take a break and watch โ€œoneโ€ episode of Severance to see if Iโ€™d like it. Iโ€™m currently on Episode 8. This show is crazy!

What could have been is what Iโ€™ll be thinking about all day. If you need me, Iโ€™ll be in the Cosmere today.

Dawnshard was a really good, fast paced novella. I just love Lopen and found myself laughing so many times! Iโ€™m jumping right in to Rhythm of War next!

Finally finished Oathbringer and it was so good. No surprise! It took me a little longer to get through but only because of work, stress, life, etc. So excited to dive into Dawnshard! I love Lopen and canโ€™t wait to read more about him!

It was a great reading year but I have a feeling that 2025 is going to be even better!

I finished Edgedancer. Even his novellas pack a punch at the end. Iโ€™m definitely jumping right into Oathbringer. I donโ€™t know why I briefly thought I could read anything else but a Sanderson novel at this point.

I finished Words of Radiance last night and wow. That was so good. How does he do it?! Currently reading Edgedancer and trying to decide between taking a break and reading Blood Over Bright Haven or jumping right in to Oathbringer. ๐Ÿค”

You definitely should! (Easy for me to say seeing as Iโ€™m a teacher on break for another week)

No updates but Christmas and Words of Radiance have completely taken over my life! About 630 pages through and Iโ€™m finishing this before the year ends!

Finished Way of Kings. Wow. I get it now. I get all the hype. Immediately jumping into Words of Radiance. Be back sometimeโ€ฆ

all i want for Christmas is 24 uninterrupted hours of reading per day #booksky

Iโ€™ve loved it so far and Iโ€™m not even halfway through it!

10.12.2024 23:20 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Iโ€™m really excited to read this one too!

09.12.2024 23:50 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Of course! It was such an intriguing book. Iโ€™ve not read anything else like it! Really quick read too!

Yes thank you! I think Brandon Sanderson just writes really compelling charactersโ€ฆit makes me want to know whatโ€™s going to happen even if there isnโ€™t much happening at the time!

Iโ€™ve heard a few reviews saying The Way of Kings was slowish until the end. Iโ€™m so completely hooked on this story at 300ish pages that having to pause reading to go to work feels like torture. Only 8 more hours to go ๐Ÿฅด

Side note: I did manage to finish This is How You Lose the Time War. Absolutely beautiful writing and I loved the ending. 4 โญ๏ธ

Absolutely no one in my life has understood the importance of me starting The Way of Kings. As a result, Iโ€™ve barely been able to read 100 pages! Today though, today is the day. Iโ€™m not leaving my house and Iโ€™m finally going to spend some time reading this like I should.

08.12.2024 12:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I have so many of those on my TBR! So impressed you can start that many and keep them all straight in your head. I would never be able to do that!

Happy Wind and Truth Day to all who celebrate! ๐ŸŽ‰

Yes!! I thick books too and often thinkโ€ฆthatโ€™s almost 2-3 books in one!

06.12.2024 02:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It was so good though ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh good to know! Thank you! Iโ€™ve heard such positive things about James so I definitely want to read it but now Iโ€™m thinking I may need to check out the audio version as you mentioned. I usually like to read a few books plus an audiobook at one time!

06.12.2024 02:06 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I can understand that! Iโ€™ve enjoyed seeing how Amazon had adapted the books so far!

06.12.2024 02:04 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Iโ€™m definitely going to put this on my TBR for 2025!

06.12.2024 00:40 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Love both! Wheel of Time was my first serious fantasy series I read years ago. I definitely think I may need to do a reread in 2025!

It just tastes so badโ€ฆwhy do they have to put it in/on everything? Really ruins a great salsaโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m just gonna say: Brandon Sanderson ๐Ÿคฃ
