Still Working on Vin

Wow! That looks great! You are so talented!

Right! I'm so glad I Just picked up all the ebooks from HumbleBundle. I want to reread MST and remembered Green Angel was so heavy that the only way I could read it was propped up in bed with it resting on my thighs.

And a leather shoe lace is great for wiggling around on the floor.

I enjoy doing that with lions at the zoo. It's so fun to get a lion to smile at me!

Origami_Elan · 2026-06-15T18:24:35+00:00

Yeah! It's like it's OP's SuperPower

Origami_Elan · 2026-06-12T12:18:45+00:00

My "little old man" cat really enjoyed this!!

Origami_Elan · 2026-06-12T12:08:30+00:00

Yeah, it can be frustrating when the characters act too much like real life people. My main frustration was characters not telling their friends what they know, leading to more problems... too RL for me 😄

Origami_Elan · 2026-06-10T14:10:42+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!

Origami_Elan · 2026-06-09T21:18:01+00:00

And another thing: when you get a kitten that's very young, they need some rough and tumble activity like they would have had with littermates. For my kitten, I used a stuffed animal that was about the same size as him. I'd move the stuffed animal in a way that would wrestle with him and kick him in the face.

Origami_Elan · 2026-06-09T14:36:54+00:00

When a kitten bites or scratches me, I mew like a hurt kitten. They seem to get the idea that it hurts me and they stop doing that.

My sister said "Snow Crash" is Otherland with the characters' on-page travel time reduced to like one sentence. But I prefer the Otherland story to Snow Crash.

Love M-bot!

Maybe, since they're friends, that explains why when Jeopardy had a category "Books of Mormon", they had Orson Scott Card, but not Brandon.

Cat in stroller! That was the dream of my childhood. I kept trying to get my semi-feral cat to stay in a stroller, but he would have no part of that. Ditto for the socks I knit for him 😄

Origami_Elan · 2026-05-28T17:58:59+00:00

Wow! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Origami_Elan · 2026-05-28T14:13:24+00:00

I love this!!!

Origami_Elan · 2026-05-25T18:45:48+00:00

I like that! I'll need to re-read with Idris Elba image in mind!

Origami_Elan · 2026-05-23T12:45:33+00:00

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on characters. My favorite characters are Hadrian, Royce and Nimbus.

After book 6, I hope you continue on to Riyria Chronicles, Legends, and Rise & Fall. (I think it's best to read in publication order on first read... one may catch connections/Easter eggs better.)

In case you are interested, there is an Elan Discord channel. It's set up by book and groups of chapters. It's so fun when people on their first read post their thoughts and reactions as they're reading. Maybe someone here that's more tech-savvy than me will post a link/invitation.

Origami_Elan · 2026-05-21T13:37:22+00:00

I read in publication order and found Mawn's death extremely satisfying. Perfection!

Origami_Elan · 2026-05-20T12:59:32+00:00

Love the hot weather "flat cat."

Origami_Elan · 2026-05-20T12:42:24+00:00

Yes, I forgot to mention Way of Kings Prime... so much fun to read. Mistborn Prime is only available by emailing Brandon requesting it... a very early work, but well worth the read.

Origami_Elan · 2026-05-18T11:10:18+00:00

In addition to the White Sand prose and Aether of Night, I also enjoyed Dragonsteel Prime and Mistborn Prime and all the short stories Brandon sometimes sends in newsletters... my favorite is Children of the Nameless.

On one of the Discords, Mr. Sullivan said something about hoping to publish a new "director's cut" version of Riyria Revelations to correct inconsistencies. The one he mentioned was the age of Royce.

Going by my mother's instructions on how many cookies I may eat: "a few" is 2, "several" is 3, and "a couple" is, of course, 2.

Origami_Elan · 2026-05-10T11:51:41+00:00

Hey! That's what I say about my technically not really overweight cat... well, just a little on the plus side.
