Elliot Brooks has a list for her read along of brandon Sansderson of you are interested

Anne Helatrix Elliot brooks is hosting a readalong on her channel this month so you could buddy read with others too :)

[@ReadEatGameRepeat]

Since you've basically read almost all the Brandon Sanderson books now - would you consider doing a sort of ranking - like which book/series so far have been your favorite?

[@poo3922]

That would be really cool. For me, Stormlight Archives is my favorite, but Mistborn would be a better introduction to Sanderson as it’s faster paced.

[@SElyas96]

JEM CARSTAIRS I couldnt get Into the stormlight archives, tried to read it twice last year, managed to get a 100 pages in, hoping I'll get lucky the third and finally time, Brandon Sanderson has never disappointed me yet

[@poo3922]

@@SElyas96 It's a little slow at first but if you push through the first few hundred pages I think you'll really like it. The book seems daunting initially with the complex world, magic system, multitude of terms, and large cast of characters but once you get acquainted with all of that the pages fly by and you get sucked into the story. Even when you're tempted to give up I suggest you push through until you get at least 200 pages in before considering dnf'ing book. This series is absolutely amazing and I'm pretty sure it's going to be my favorite series of all time by the time it's over.

[@jessicaboisvenue5716]

You're the only booktuber that has inspired me to buy every single book you recommend. Every. Single. Book.

[@emiloubooks6708]

She's an inspiration to all booktubers!! My channel is new & still very small but i aspire to be as good as her one day. She explains books in so much detail but is never boring. Plus like you said, all the books she recommends are amazing!! 🤗

[@Kage-jk4pj]

Anyone gonna notice she seems to like female led fantasies a lot. I assume because it's easier for her to put herself in that characters shoes

[@ThoroughlyModernBri]

This is probably weird, but I’ve had quite a bit of wine so I don’t care, but I just wanted to say, that you’re my favorite booktuber. Anytime I get notification that you’ve posted a new video I scream and my husband gets very confused. I love your content, and all of your videos put a smile on my face, so thank you!

[@c0ronariu5]

Biblio Bri Reads agree 100%. Rehab speaks well, has screen presence, is not too formal but too casual either, her opinions are well thought out and insightful, and each video has something of substance to impart. There aren’t too many booktubers who tick all these boxes (little book owl is the only other one I can currently think of) and I could go on by sharing my (negative) opinions about other booktubers for comparison, but as I know some watch this channel, I don’t want to be that mean person.

Its very good

[@abigailbraun9150]

It was my favorite book of the year!!

[@evam6961]

I didn't really like it gave it 3 stars, loved the first half but then it become very YA and predictable

[@smOVERCOMINGITALL]

I absolutely LOVE huge series bc i get what i call "the last chapter blues." LOL i have a bad habit of picking single books and reading them until the last chapter and not wanting it to end so i never finish them. With series it feels like i get to enjoy the books more because its like even if you finish the first book you have more to look forward too. Idk i'm a horrible reader in the sense that it's like a mini depression after i finish one so i hate to finish books and there for i don't read as often as i want too unless it's a LARGE series.

[@milgoibrahimmohamed9064]

Mauiggyyy

[@adrianneconstant]

Same omg!! I have like 8 books that im reading since more than a year that I actually love but I have endings so I stopped reading them so it doesnt end. Im also scared to forget the story so much, but for adome reason I firget it less if im only in the middle of the book than if I finished it lol

[@nelliandbooks]

Wundersmith ❤️ Scythe was favorite book of the year. And I'm currently reading Queen of air and darkness

[@amn384]

I'm planning on starting The Way of Kings at the tail end of the month. I know I will fall in love, as I tend to with every Sanderson book I've read. Foundryside is also on my TBR. I've heard it's kind of a steampunk fantasy, which is something that's always intrigued me, but have never read. My favorites this year have been The Diviners series, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Wayward Children series, Sadie, Becoming, Six of Crows, and The City of Brass. 💕

[@AReaderinTime]

Scythe was soooo good, I enjoyed the second book Thunderhead even more than the first!

[@hannahruthreads]

I read The Way of Kings after watching some of your vlogs where you talk about reading it and it was also one of my top books of 2018! I'm going in to 2019 with the plan on reading the rest of Brandon Sanderson's novels because of how much I loved the Stormlight Archive series!

[@MelLenoreReads]

I just bought Foundryside based on your rec! The cover is gorgeous and I'm so excited to get to it!

Yes!!!! Read it & share your thoughts with us 😁

[@mummylovesbooks4503]

City of Brass and Warbreaker were on my top 10 list of the year as well, www.mummylovesbooks.com, I really had issues with Queen of Air and Darkness though as I really couldn't get past the ongoing angst this time around. Foundryside is currently in transit to my local library for me based on your recommendation.

[@asdismaria7316]

I love Scythe, And Ember Of Ashes am thinking of getting myself Spinning Silver and the Bear and Nightingale.

[@lisapauli3640]

Brandon Sanderson really is a fantastic storyteller, I have read five of his books so far (original mistborn trilogy, Elantris and warbreaker) and I think I’m gonna read his newest release skyward next. The first way of kings book has been sitting on my bookshelf for like 1 1/2 years because for some reason I’m terrified to start it even though I enjoy long high fantasy novels, I don’t know what it is. But I’m going to make it one of my reading goals in 2019 to finally start this series so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@fursecela]

i wish i could erase my memory so I can discover the Stormlight Archives again and again and have the same mindblowing experience. So jealous you've yet to discover them !

[@katiepatterson7292]

Foundryside is hands down my favorite book I read of the year! I really struggle explaining it to people too but I think you did a good job. I can’t wait for the next one!

[@lipstickandbourbon2027]

I absolutely loved The Poppy War, and its sequel is due out in the summer. I have read the first two books in The Grey Sister trilogy and cannot wait for the third book this spring!!! You should absolutely check those out.

[@cassianfagilde6500]

Ok so after hearing Regan (and a couple other booktubers) talking about Brandon Sanderson I definitely want to read his books but I'm quite intimidated by the length of them. Which of his books/series do you think are a good starting place for someone who hasn't read long fantasy books for a few years?

[@blablanach]

You could start with Elantris or Warbreaker, both are the first books in their series, but he hasn't written the next yet. They are not that long and it's a great way to start diving in the cosmere! Then you could continue with the Mistborn series or the Stormlight archives... either way, I'm jealous of you for be able to read them for the first time, he is truly the best fantasy writer ever! Happy reading!

[@DollysGram]

HURRAY!! This video was SO worth the wait! I want to read the Mistborn trilogy, then dive into The Way of Kings. I think 2019 is going to be a great reading year!😁

[@roosreviews8945]

Ugh I NEED to finally read Brandon Sanderson. His books are just collecting dust on my shelves. Have you read Skyward yet? I was planning on starting there.

[@miv7841]

7 of your 10 favorites are already in my tbr, hope to get to them this 2019! My favorites from 2018 were: - the ACOTAR trilogy; - 11/22/63 from Stephen King; and, - The rest of the days from Kazuo Ishiguro

[@rebeccaweaver2315]

I think you should do like a... “prettiest books in my collection” video. Have people done that already? I’m obsessed with special editions or just super pretty books in general.

You are so refreshing. I've been watching other people do book reviews and they always seem to be SO critical and pick at every little thing. You, however, are so positive and actually make me want to read these books! You describe them in a way that really awakens my curiosity and passion for books again. So thank you!

I couldn't finish warbreaker. It seemed so promising, so good... but it's really rather silly. Couldn't get over the silliness of it. So now I'm worried about starting any other Sanderson book. LOOOOOVE Ember in the Ashes. And I can't wait to read Spinning Silver and Bear & the Nightingale.

[@MariaMightReadThat]

I'm especially excited to read Nevermoor, City of Brass, and the Bear and the Nightingale (and try out Sanderson). My favorite books of 2018 were Quintana of Charyn and the Witchlands books!

Scythe is one of the best books I ever read. It was my #2 top read this year!

[@gaurikaur3144]

I love this list! Since you really enjoyed Foundryside, I would recommend City of Stairs by the same author. It's an incredible fantasy series full of gods and murder and kick-ass protagonists. It's honestly one of my favorite series of all time, and I think you would really enjoy it.

[@deadkeepteaching]

I give 2018 to The Poppy War, while it wasn't a 5 star read or the best book I read of 2018, it's the first time in years I've been excited for the future of a new young author! And she's writing Grim Dark fantasy!

[@onestepcloseraway437]

I loved Scythe, really disliked Queen Of Air And Darkness. Really disappointing for a third book. I enjoyed the part in Thule, but the rest felt like the author was just trying to fit in certain characters and storylines that might appeal to a wider range of audience rather than focusing on the main story.

[@crushgoil]

I’m reading The Bear and the Nightingale right now which is really strange since the last book I read was Spinning Silver. They are very similar in many ways. I’m finding both to be slow reads for me but I’m powering through.

I recommend TMI, TID, then TDA 😄 you could start TID after the first 3 TMI books if you want because then you’d understand the ending of TMI more. I think you could read TDA but you’d really be missing out on the world building and the history.
