I have been a lurker of the various Sanderson-themed subreddits. Unfortunately for me and my fellow introverts, there isn’t much here to lurk at (yet!). I thought maybe we could get things started by discussing how we all got into the Cosmere. I’ll go first!
In November of last year, a friend of mine recommended I read Mistborn. I had just barely started reading again after a long break and was in need of a new series. I was about to go on a long drive, so I borrowed the audiobook from the library so I had something to listen to. I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into. In the last six months, I have read every single Cosmere book I could get my hands on, and have absolutely loved each one. I finished it all off with Tress last month. My only regret is not getting into this sooner so I could have been a part of the Secret Project Kickstarter.
Here’s hoping we can get this community going!
6 months! That’s quick. For me, my friend told me stop wasting my time with A Song if Ice and Fire because it will never be finished. He told me to check out Sanderson.
Flash forward and we now do a podcast a la Binge Mode covering the series. We started with Mistborn Era 1 and we are now in the second book of Era 2. I can’t get enough!
We have to go at a slower pace for production purposes but it’s so fun and this may take us years, but I’m here for it.
Yeah, I had just gotten laid off so I had a lot of time on my hands. It also didn’t help that I am terrible at pacing myself. If I get into a good book, I just have to keep reading until it’s done!
Aw man, sorry to hear that but glad you had the books to help entertain you.
