Recs if you like Words of Radiance...

There are a lot of suggested Cosmere Reading orders, but I really wanted to read in the order that Sanderson himself suggested. He has a video he released on YouTube with a suggested reading order for his books, so I put together a list that reflects what he posted in that video. The short stories that aren't tied to any particular series are sprinkled in between some of the larger reads like the Stormlight Books. If you have suggestions on how to order said short stories, i'm open to move them around, but please be kind and understand that this entire thing is going to be subjective. Even Sanderson's video was loose in its suggestions, like he didn't want to dictate what his readers pick up. That said, here's the list!

Books with neurodivergent MCs across various genres so you can find them in your favorite one.

Neurodivergent rep here includes autism, adhd, ocd or dyslexia. In addition the term neurodivergent also includes anyone who’s neurological processing works in a way that isn’t considered typical; such as various personality disorders, other sensory issues and depending on who you ask also depression, ptsd, and more. I’ve included all here when I find them.

Cosmere Reading List by Publication Order

Short stories and novellas may overlap with Arcanum Unbounded.

If you’re planning to read White Sands go for the Omnibus version instead of the single volumes.

Gabs 2024 reads in her ranking video. Hope you'll find something you'll like!

Brandon Sanderson universe ~ Cosmere 🌑

The top 100 best books of the 2010’s as voted for by Goodreads members

Top five: 5) The Martian 4) Gone Girl 3) Divergent 2) Mockingjay

1. The Fault in Our Stars

Collection of Cosmere works. Note: Arcanum Unbounded collects many of the novellas and short stories into a single collection.

Fantasy stories where the main character working through trauma is a focus of the story, sometimes in healthy ways and sometimes not so much.

All buddy reads taking place in the Organized Book Club discord starting and/or ending in 2025. The list will be updated throughout the year.

I’m an audiobook lover, and I’m always looking for great audiobooks! Rather than just listing my favorites, I thought I’d make a list of audiobooks that have won Audie Awards from 2010-2015.

There are so many, so I stuck to specific categories. Not all categories are in all years, so there is some inconsistency. I included the following categories:

• Audiobook of the year
• Autobiography/Memoir
• Erotica
• Spanish
• Fantasy
• Fiction
• History/Biography
• Humor
• Horror
• Literary Fiction
• Classics
• Middle Grade
• Mystery
• Nonfiction
• Romance
• Science Fiction
• Short Stories/Collections
• Thriller/Suspense
• YA/Teens
• Paranormal

Happy listening!

literally books that made me cry in public transit 😔😔 [recent reads in digital format (except for HOL) that I try to read while commuting/waiting in lines instead of zoning out or doom scrolling]

Have you ever wanted a PhD in English Lit? Do you think fantasy is a legitimate field of literary criticism? Would you like a glimpse into the psyche of someone who does?

These are the books included (or excerpted from) on my comprehensive exams list for a dissertation on fantasy. It is not even a remotely comprehensive list of fantasy texts and criticism (yes, I see the irony).

My Cosmere reading order!! There’s so many reading orders out there but this is mine for my first read through ☺️ and trust me i’m planning to reread them many more times in different orders hehe

there’s no right or wrong order for entering the Cosmere!!

a lot of the short stories/ novellas are found in arcanum unbounded!!

Read at your own risk (pls read, so so good)

Books that are over 500 pages, so thick that it looks like a chunk of meat.

Never go wrong when you pick a book with one of these in it

Just trying to make my way through Brandon's work!

only one book per series has been included and in chronological order it was read
