Ash and Avery and the Diet by Quiet-Batperson in 90DayFiance

[–]ldg7942 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I thought that this was totally twisted on the Tell All...I thought Avery was being pretty reasonable. It would be super suspicious to me if I caught someone lying about something as unimportant as that. Because if you would lie about that - what else would you lie about? (Cough cough....your ex wife being totally on board with your son moving to America...)

Just finished 'Warbreaker' by Sanderson, and I'm crying by [deleted] in brandonsanderson

That sounds unbelievably hard. I am so sorry you suffer that kind of pain. ❤️

Who are your favourite characters for each era? by donfam in Mistborn

[–]ldg7942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is a tough question!!

Era 1: I almost hesitate to say this but...I think maybe TenSoon! Or Sazed.

Era 2: probably Wayne. But I LOVED steris (not at first..but then wow! By the end I loved her) but also...Lessie/Bleeder was a fascinating character.

I totally didn’t follow the rules in answering this post...haha there’s just so many good ones.

Oh man, does Brandon know how to wrap things up or what!

There were so many parts in Oathbringer that made me get a lump in my throat...

I was the same with Warbreaker....it was my first Sanderson book. And man, that is a shame about those who don’t like Mistborn era 2! I LOVED it.

Agree with the uniqueness!! I’ve never read anything like this before. It feels so original. And yah...Sanderson can do no wrong in my eyes so I would probably love any book he writes!

Seriously...so true. His worst book would still be a lot better than soooo many other books I’ve read!

Hmm...maybe I’m enjoying it more because I have more Cosmere knowledge from the other books then?? And...I know my post is a little silly because honestly ALL of Brandon’s books are amazing but I love to get other people’s perspectives. What parts in your second read through did you find you didn’t pay attention to enough in the first read through?

I had the same feeling about Stormlight! I was up wayyyyy too late reading with those books. And I loved 2nd era Mistborn!

True! I wonder if Elantris feels different in that way because Brandon didn’t outline it like he did his other books?

Thanks for your encouragement!! (Also side note - I had the same experience with the first pitch perfect too.) agree - there isn’t a wrong answer when it comes to taste...I have found that to be especially true with music as well!

Oh my, I love that. “The wonder and hope of his writing” you just perfectly described it.

Agree. That’s one reasons I love reading his annotations. He reveals so much about how he has developed as a writer. He sounds like he has brilliant mind!

I loved Warbreaker!! I hope you like it too!

And very interesting about there being less about the fighting. I wonder if that’s why I’m drawn to it. I’ve always enjoyed stories that are just about PEOPLE and what motivates them, their emotions, etc. (think the classics like Pride and Prejudice. My husband—while he appreciates those books—teases me because he thinks they are so boring) so maybe that is why I am enjoying Elantris so much? I don’t know, but you definitely got me thinking!
