That’s right: only two weeks until _[Oathbringer](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/076532637X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)_ is released. _lets out a fangirl shriek that can probably be heard all the way in Utah_ ---

With as many bonus preview chapters as he’s releasing, it’s getting difficult to avoid spoilers in the Facebook groups. I’m avoiding the previews like the plague…I want to read the whole book new. ---

I’ve already purchased the audiobook since I’ll get to probably finish listening to it at work before I have time to start reading but I’ll be buying the e-book for my family vacations over the holidays and then I’ll grab the hardbound to keep my set of first editions current at some point. ---

I have both the first two books in Graphic Audio format, where they read the whole book, but act it out. I have held off on listening to them for a long time. Perhaps now I should? Love Mistborn! ---

I only read _Words of Radiance_ last year and I gotta say that six years between books was wayyy too long for me to remember much. Hopefully reading this one only a year later will help, but 1200 pages is gonna be a ton to get through in any event. ---

Hopefully reading this one only a year later will help, but 1200 pages is gonna be a ton to get through in any event. I have not read either of the first two, but do have them on Graphic Audio. I’m not sure if it is even worth starting after this release. He still has 7 books to go, doesn’t he? That’s a lot to expect him to get through, even with his strong work ethic.
