Everyone has a favourite genre but what is your niche in that genre. For me my favouite genre is crime but within that i have a whole shelf of Japanese crime novels. Anyone has a very specifc group of books you will always buy?

Sooo hooked now!! I am really loving the suspense, getting to know the characters, the magic system and world building. I think Sazed might be my favourite 🥹 The way he cares about preserving culture and about protecting and teaching Vin is everything. However. Will we ever meet a female character that is not a disregarded servant, a girl in danger enabling Kelsier to show his heroicism, the dead wife serving as a reason for revenge, or the young apprentice who is "not like other girls" (read: not initially conventionally pretty, tough, and strong)? To clarify, I don't think that's all that Vin is, I actually really like her and think her character development is going to be super interesting! I just cannot help but notice that she also doesn't have a lot of agency (yet?). Plus, I wish she could have a female friend or person to look up to. 🫠 please tell me it gets better!

Second time reading, first time on audio. For me, it takes off at around 25%. The experience listening is sooo different from eyeballing it though. The narrator is good (excellent voices to distinguish characters!) but almost too soothing. I kept wanting to nap while I crocheted. 😩 Still, at 24+ hours, buying this audiobook is a GREAT value. 😆 (And I crocheted 1/3 of the front panel of a very complicated sweater! Amazing.)

"A good man... I don't think I've ever known one of those before" My sweet girl Vin 😭 She deserves the world

Its one of the reasons I hesitate reading in public because I'm afraid someone might report me to the nearest asylum, but I do so many monologues while reading. Be it commentating on a characters actions, on the authors brilliance, or forming a connection with the previous books, I will say it to myself and out loud, almost as if, if I don't vocalize it then the thought will be gone, like sand slipping through my fingers. Even random stuff like face palming and going, "why on the planet would you do that?" Like I'm physically disappointed with this fictional character and need to voice my misery. It also might be due to my habit of yelling at the TV screen while watching sports. or its vice versa. ig we'll never know 😅

Forgot how tiny the font is on the printed books for this series. This book is 707 pages, but I'd say it it was printed in a larger more typical font probably closer to 800ish 😅

I can't stand them. I genuinely can't. I have The Reformatory by Tananarive Due and I can't fucking stand the stupid ass printed on sticker that's slapped on the fucking cover. I don't care if it's on a list or picked by Oprah/Reese Witherspoon. We all know they didn't actually read it. STOP PERMANENTLY STICKING THOSE ON. IF IT DOESNT HAVE A COPY WITHOUT THE STICKER, IM GOING TO LOSE MY SHIT. This is a fucking beautiful cover and that ugly ass symbol is just plastered on. I feel bad for people who like Last Night at The Telegraph Club. Because why tf does it have so many stickers? Why don't you just write all the accomplishments on the inside? Someone needs to tell the publishers and printers that we hate that. Enough

Release date is official y'all! So hyped for book 2! 🎉🎉 720 pages 😬
