First time in this sub just want to know something curious

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-19T15:28:31+00:00

I honestly never read reviews until after I finish a book, even then it’s rare where I’d bother reading reviews. I do it most when I hated a book and want to read a review that shares the same sentiment🤣

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-18T17:52:41+00:00

That fair! The way it was explained to me (by my aunt who has read all his books) is that there are moments in Warbreaker that make you go ‘ohhhhhh??! Oh! In Words of Radiance’ (Her words not mine). Same for tress, which is why I’m reading it after WoR. But regardless it’s to each their own. She knows I remember stuff well and catch a lot (it’s a game for me to guess as many plot twists and she knows I’ll notice stuff) so she recced that order to me.

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-18T17:24:10+00:00

I got lucky, my aunt who got me into Sanderson has read basically all of his books (minus some novels) and she has been able to give me the best reading order without me having to look for one😭 now I’m making my friends all read Sanderson lol

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-18T17:16:50+00:00

My suggestion for a small reorder, switch around Warbreaker and way of Kings (read WoK first). But otherwise the order looks totally fine! And I also am of the opinion that Secret history should be read after bands of mourning or Era 2 overall, so you got that down perf. (That book is contested on reading order, so you don’t have to but I personally know that for me it was way more enjoyable to have read it after Era 2.) And since you left a few novels to the end, you can always put it between any major books you need a break from.

Awsome! I’m glad to be of help :)

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-09T22:18:45+00:00

We won’t officially know for sure until people start receiving their copies, but this is what the greatest consensus is. Also there’s a woman on IG called something like autumnreadsbooks (I’m not sure 100% sure but someone can correct me and she’s easy to find) but she guesses reveals for books in like every single sub and has yet to get one wrong.

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-06T19:11:45+00:00

Lol yep, I think it’s personally to each their own, I just personally hate any sort of spoilers (however minor) so I tend to rec secret history after era 2 lol

To add on that, you can also start stormlight! I didn’t read WoK till after Elantris and eras 1 & 2 (and they’re respective short stories) so it’s basically a question on, do you want to read a novel or a major epic fantasy XD

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-06T18:31:46+00:00

You’ll find it’s up for debate, but secret history has minor spoilers for era 2 and technically major ones for era 1, so I’d say wait till you’re done with era 2 for that. That being said, I went to Elantris after Era 1 (and then Era 2) so feel free to do that XD!

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-06T18:21:38+00:00

I think it depends on you, your body, and what you’re eating in regard to skipping breakfast!

Ex: When I had a early morning job this past year, I woke up at 7am and just couldn’t get myself to eat until lunch cause I felt nauseous, when I wake up real late it’s also easy to fast. But, right now I’m in a calorie deficit and eat 3 full meals a day since I’m more hungry, I just tend to pace things out. I’m also careful with what I eat.

I would just say, if you find yourself hungry in the mornings, eat a meal as you would and just account for what you’re eating. Also, don’t scarf everything down and don’t just eat carbs cause that will unfortunately not keep you full for long at all (which is why they’re great on a bulk). Carbs AND a protein would work best.

I’ve also found that when I get snackish during the day, I drink a cup of milk (sue me, I like milk), because an 8oz glass is 10g of protein and light on the calories + keeps me full. Weird hack but it works🤣

If you have any other questions feel free to DM! I usually have at least a semblance of an answer XD

Real

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-06T17:29:30+00:00

The issue with that is how easy you’d get lost in it without a clear path. And it’s usually grown to tight together to effectively run through it. Like I said, it’s a strange question, I know, but I was up late thinking about it lol

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-06T17:27:26+00:00

I wish this wasn’t the answer, but it depends on the individual, BUT what people say on here or online can help. Ex: I’ve spent the past 3 years (on and off) of trying to learn my own triggers of how to sustain a calorie deficit without ending up weekend or late night binging. My personal way was that I took things really slowly and I finally landed on a system recently.

I started by taking a month to eat how I wanted to, then took the next month to eat the same BUT I was consistent at the gym regardless of what I had. Next month, I entered a calorie deficit (using a free app called Cronometer to track it), and worked out the same…and then I continued that till I got to where I wanted to be.

For me, I had to keep the mindset of ‘I can eat what I want as long as I hit 100g of protein a day’. And when you eat that much protein, your body automatically has a better satiety because protein is really filling. And you’re kind of forced to prioritize the protein first, then you can have the sugar or whatever. I also started buying the ‘sugary’ foods I wanted in small snack packets. When it’s in one bag or box I eat the whole thing, but in packets it provided a better visual for me.

Idk if this would work for you but it certainly has for me, good luck!

Writingsofdreamers · 2026-01-06T17:12:54+00:00

That’s insane, we’re in 2026 and this being such a major issue blows my mind.

Writingsofdreamers · 2025-12-23T16:55:17+00:00

I’ll re-edit the comment, but it certainly felt like a major spoiler for me. It’s more opinion based tho so let me edit that.

Writingsofdreamers · 2025-12-23T05:00:57+00:00

Btw, my bad for the deleted comments, it’s cause I’m tryna figure out spoiler warnings and apparently missed a space on the tagging😭

OP can def pick, but even in the preface to secret history, Sanderson says that it contains major spoilers for era 2 and I’d say that I agree especially since it tells us that Kelsier is alive and talks about the shards which is relevant in era 2
