I have been a lurker of the various Sanderson-themed subreddits. Unfortunately for me and my fellow introverts, there isn’t much here to lurk at (yet!). I thought maybe we could get things started by discussing how we all got into the Cosmere. I’ll go first!
In November of last year, a friend of mine recommended I read Mistborn. I had just barely started reading again after a long break and was in need of a new series. I was about to go on a long drive, so I borrowed the audiobook from the library so I had something to listen to. I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into. In the last six months, I have read every single Cosmere book I could get my hands on, and have absolutely loved each one. I finished it all off with Tress last month. My only regret is not getting into this sooner so I could have been a part of the Secret Project Kickstarter.
Here’s hoping we can get this community going!

A colleague recommended Way of kings to me and at that time the title sounded to me quite cheesy so I have put it on my todo list.
One day I did not have mood for reading anything so I just picked up Wok not expecting anything. I was hooked the moment Szeth son son volano wore white when he decided to kill the king.
I was a big fantasy reader in my teens already, and read Elantris when it was the only book published by Brandon Sanderson.
I liked his style and over the years read his newest books not long after they were released. I was happy when he was chosen to finish Wheel Of Time, because that was another favorite series of mine, although I liked the writing style of Sanderson much better than Robert Jordan.
I somehow went through Mistborn, Stormlight, Warbreaker and even some of the novellas without connecting the Cosmere thing.
Then via subreddits it finally clicked and I chose to do a big reread of everything Cosmere. Almost done, only the last two Stormlight books are missing. And of course the newest secret novel.
