Haha sorry I'm not helping there. I find when I'm reading one of his books there's suddenly loadsss more of him on my feed.

Siobhan, don't feel guilty! My feed is literally overflowing with Oathbringer, but there are also other books featured quite​ regularly. :)

I'm not sure that day will ever come. He is popular and he does write lot of books.

I'm a newbie, still making my way through Mistborn trilogy. My feed is full of Oathbringer too. :)

I don't lose hope, ​Ivan. :)

I didn't like Mistborn, but I am tempted to start Oathbringer, which has even thicker books. Send help.

I thought Mistborn was pretty mediocre but I did like Stromlight archives a lot (at least first two books, I'm yet to read Oathbringer). I also liked Warbreaker which I also found it better written than Mistborn.

The third book in the first Mistborn series (storyline? block?) gave me a reading slump, specifically the last couple of hundred pages.
I will most likely dance around Stormlight nervously for a bit, then possibly pick it up during Christmas.

Oh Derpa, I'm curious to read your review!

Beware, Sanderson has an army.

More like worshippers :D

Yep, a proper cult :D

Brace yourself. He's about to win this rigged GR awards thing.

No way, I'm betting the Harry Potter thing. Or was it last year? :D

Oh s*it! I didn't even registered Beasts. What the hell is this book doing here? What, whenever a new edition pops out, it will be a contender? Rigged I say! :D
Should I punish myself as well Mayim, and say how I'll read Oathbringer if anything but that book wins in Fantasy category? :D Do I really hate myself that much? :D :D

No Stefan, you are a cutie-pie not a fountain of hatred. Have a cookie dear (home baked!) and read a decent book.

Buahahahaha! Touché. :D

I think that day is not coming anytime sooner. Atleast not for me because everytime I open my feed, the first update is always related to Sanderson. I've only read his 'Elantris' and was sorely disappointed.

Hiba, I haven't read anything yet :D and my expectations soar even higher with every feed I see. This is problematic as you can imagine.

You can just wait 30 years and read the entire Cosmere without having to wait for decades like the rest of us... kinda like we get to soon with the Malazan Buddy Read starting next year...

It's OK Iain, in 30 years I will be even more beautiful, smart and hilarious. I can wait. :D

I think Stormlight archive will be my asoiaf, you know that thing that takes 25 years to read and might not even finish by then :D

yeah, he's on my feed. I thought of reading it too but then i thought that the next one will bepublish in 2020 and then there's another book that will be publish in -who know when- so for now i'll wait cause i probebly have to reread the first 2.
btw - WARBREAKER is free on his website.

Yea... right now the tentative release schedule is 2020, 2024 (end of first 5 book arc), 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, 2044... I think... each book takes him 1 year to outline, and 18 months to write... but he needs a break between each book to refuel and write other things... he writes some YA series/trilogies, and fits in another Cosmere book or 2 between each Stormlight book... so we get SOMETHING from Sanderson most years, at least... if not always the thing we want...

Haha brilliant update 👍🧐

Oh May! Oh my....
*sides are aching with all the laughing*

Yeah, the sanderson in my feed is getting a bit ridiculous. must you like EVERY update and review?

I mostly ignore them since in general I try not to react to books I don't know but plan to read in future.

Sanderson is in my feed pretty hard as well right now... mostly because he's in the UK on his book tour and people are getting pictures with him... like Ahdam did a few minutes ago (altho he hasn't posted them yet)...

@idiffer: sometimes I feel like I don't like things enough... I like a handful of things a week... usually less...

Haha. You definitely should pick The Final Empire (Mistborn 1). Basically it has a self contained plot. *Trying to convert you to Sandersonism ;)*

*snort* I applaud your non-conformist ways.

long live non-conformism! (and chocolate!)

Most definitely chocolate. :-)

but only white chocolate, bc it's more nonconformist that way

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
