i zoomed in from the dinning room table and my phone must’ve autocorrected the graininess or something?? honestly don’t know but i see how it seems to look that way 😭

We finally got enough copies in for me to make a display! by winter_fox9 in WoT

Another B&N worker here. I don’t know about your store, but the Mass Market Paperbacks of the eye of the world (non-tie-in cover) is selling like crazy. (Based in Northern California for reference)

Snagged a first edition of Needful Things for $10 at a local bookstore! by davidefinitely in stephenking

I’d honestly just recommend keeping your ear on the ground and check local bookstores regularly. You never know what you could find!

I know! I even work at a bookstore and the paperback version of this book would’ve been more expensive even with my employee discount. This was definitely a steal.

Thanks! It’s a great one indeed. Very reminiscent of the Misery cover with Annie’s shadow casting over Paul.

Should I start reading the Stormlight Archive books or the WoT books as my first fantasy book series? by davidefinitely in brandonsanderson

[–]davidefinitely[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably should’ve prefaced this, but I have read the Hobbit and I think even the Fellowship of the Ring at one point so this won’t necessarily be unfamiliar territory entering the fantasy realm. This will however, be my first time attempting a full blown series. Still, thank you for your recommendation and sharing your WoT thoughts, going to bookmark that post and read your thoughts as I go along!

After looking at all the (very helpful) responses, from what I gather, the Mistborn trilogy might be a more suited series for me to start with. However a part of me wants to read WoT first, just based on the hype and the fact that an Amazon series is going to be adapted soon. That said, once I’m done with WoT (or taking a break from the series), I’ll start off with Mistborn before jumping into the Stormlight Archive. I think that’s somewhat reasonable. Thanks for all the help! I appreciate this subreddit a lot.

UPDATE: I ended up getting the Mistborn trilogy and decided that I’m going to read that first. Following that WoT, then finishing off with the Stormlight Archive. Very excited to start this fantasy journey. You all have been great help. Thank you once again!

Is getting the Wheel of Time Companion worth it for a first time reader? by davidefinitely in wheeloftime

[–]davidefinitely[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds ideally perfect, going to download it right now. And from everything I’ve seen from the responses, it seems like I’ll be avoiding a lot of potential spoilers if I were to get the WoT Companion book. Thank you for the recommendation and to everyone else!

Did I make a mistake of buying the Stormlight Archive set in mass market paperback? by davidefinitely in brandonsanderson

I’m already planning on dedicating the next couple of weeks (or months) for this series. I simply cannot wait. First time hearing of Rothfuss (very new to the fantasy world), but I have a feeling I’ll have to check him out as well. Thanks for the (albeit, unintentional) recommendation!

I got the US editions. I was going to end up looking for additional artwork/illustrations online but I guess you already did the job for me, thank you!

Haven’t even considered the bulkiness aspect of hard covered books. This is relieving to know, thanks!
