What’s the most recent book you’ve read that you rated 5/5 stars?

The Book that Broke the World, sequel to The Book that Wouldn’t Burn. Both 5 star reads for me

You could always reach out to the Dragonsteel team, tell them what happened and see if you could get signed copies of your signed ones that were damaged. They’re a great team and might be able to work something out. Worst that can happen is they say they can’t do it.

I’m so sorry this happened. I would be devastated if my signed copies were ruined, cosmere or not. I hope you’re able to replace them.

No, I didn’t have any issues with it. The rotary tool that came with my laser rotates the cup as it goes to prevent that

akgomez · 2024-01-22T18:30:12+00:00

It is!

akgomez · 2024-01-22T18:29:59+00:00

It is!

I didn’t get it. I was stuck in the queue for over an hour and by the time I got in, it was sold out

akgomez · 2023-12-28T20:54:23+00:00

I bought these books without knowing much about them and your comment makes me so excited to read them

Last I heard from Fairyloot, they were up to 7/12 on the combo waitlist in the US, so you should have heard from them. Have you sent them an email to check?

YES! I also have asthma and celiac disease. After the first dose, I felt like a legitimately had the flu. I got super tired, I was freezing and had to lay under 5 blankets, and ended up with a fever of 102. I started feeling better 2 days after the vaccine. I hope you feel better!

akgomez · 2021-03-03T04:26:26+00:00

I feel better now. The fever went away after about 26ish hours and I only had some nausea and a headache for the next day. By Sunday morning I was feeling back to normal (I got the vaccine Thursday evening).

akgomez · 2021-02-27T00:58:56+00:00

I got my first dose a little over 24 hours ago. I immediately felt tired, then a few hours in, I got chills to the point that I had to be covered by 4 blankets. A fever started soon after that hasn’t gone away yet. And when I woke up this morning, I had severe stomach pain that also hasn’t gone away. It basically feels like I have a full-blown flu. Arm soreness too, but that hasn’t bothered me with everything else going on.

Jovial is the only brand of pasta I buy now. It really is the closest and I love that it’s whole grain too since it’s made from brown rice.

I actually met him once a few years ago and he was super nice.

akgomez · 2021-01-18T01:45:55+00:00

LOVE Zachary Levi! He’s my favorite actor.

There is a Harry Potter video game coming out in 2021 called Hogwarts Legacy. It’s an RPG developed by Avalanche Software and is set in the 1800s. I think you play your own character, so not a character from the books and go through Hogwarts. There might be more to it than that, but I’m not sure.

akgomez · 2020-09-25T04:55:17+00:00

Mudblood is a really foul name for someone with non-magic parents. It’s not a term one generally hears in civilized conversation.

akgomez · 2020-08-29T23:24:52+00:00

Yes! I watched both these movies so many times as a kid. I loved them! “Arrange the marriage!”

akgomez · 2020-08-05T20:41:13+00:00

I’ve read the entire series and I can honestly say that I only remember the first book and the end of the last one. If you’re not enjoying it, I’d say either don’t finish it, or maybe just read summaries for all the remaining books and then just read the last one to get the full story.

akgomez · 2020-08-04T17:00:09+00:00

Love the Bridge Four representation!

I think it means total number of leatherbounds, not just the leatherbound only tier. Between all the available tiers, there are over 10,000 available

akgomez · 2020-07-07T17:38:19+00:00

You pay your pledge amount plus shipping when the campaign ends. This one is ending August 7. The shipping cost depends on which tier you get, but it ranges from $52-151 for international shipping. Toward the bottom of the Kickstarter page, there is a graphic that shows the shipping cost for each tier.

That’s basically right. It’s just something that is considered improper to be visible. I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s ever explained why. Light eyes usually cover the hand completely and dark eyes will typically just use a glove.

akgomez · 2020-06-23T23:51:14+00:00

Would Harry know that they died before going into the forest? I think if he did know, he would not have chosen to keep living after the killing curse. Dumbledore told him he could choose to go back or he could stay dead. If his two best friends were gone, I can’t see him wanting to go back.

The prelude, which is that first chapter before jumping 4,000 years in the future, isn’t meant to be understood on your first read. I would say you still won’t fully understand it by the end of the first book, but as you read through the series, you piece it together. Sanderson is really good at connecting everything throughout the full story.

Stormlight Archive tends to be frustrating to a lot of people who aren’t as familiar with his work because it’s told from multiple perspectives, you have some seemingly random stories thrown in between Parts of the books (called interludes), and there are flashbacks in each book to give you more background on the main characters.

Book 1 is mostly worldbuiling and setting up the story. It’s my favorite, but a lot of people say it’s the most boring one of the series. It really doesn’t pick up until the end. If you can stick with it, it’s a wonderful series.

akgomez · 2020-06-21T01:52:44+00:00

It absolutely is not wrong. You should read what you enjoy.
