    I just dropped like $120-$130 for my Broken Binding Press copy of Of Darkness & Light and the slipcase. I hate myself for starting this process a couple of years ago lmao. I'm terrified to see what they charge for OWAR and OEAD

    When Sanderson announced the Wheel of Time leatherbounds, it was then I knew that I needed a second job. All the special editions taking over the genre are so cool and awesome looking.

    My friend got me book six at the Sacramento signing and I’m so jealous.

    A couple things from the signing: Matt said that the approval of the pilot is going on right now; whether it gets approved is up in the air but it's at this which is one of the latest steps. Chris Yost wrote the pilot who wrote the Bill Burr episode of the Mandalorian and Thor Ragnarok. He was actually already a Patreon member and reached out to Matt about writing the pilot when news of the series announced.

    Also, there is an impending announcement of a graphic novel that follows a crawler besides Carl and Donut. This is separate from the graphic novel of Book 1 which will also be released. Lots of exciting stuff coming for this series. He truly deserves every accolade that comes his way. Hup hup.

    I'm gonna need to check Ollie's for this. I'm still in the middle of the series and not planning on going back anytime soon, but it would be nice to have decent copies of these

    I got a lot to catch up on in here but I would like to report I did just finish the first dungeon crawler carl. Unlike anything I've read before and I really enjoyed it. Some of the jokes fell flat and some were borderline 'really?' moments, but a cool story with a surprising emotional core that I know from reviews I've seen will only grow so excited to continue on.

    My one issue is that it seems it balloons and I really wish a short and sweet series would stay short and sweet but that's only from the outside looking at it as I'm not to those books yet. Some of the later books are like 800 pages! I thought this was going to be my fun, exciting, slump buster series. Trying to get away from the tomes for a little while ha.

    ha we'll see how I feel when we get there (I don't know who Samantha is yet). There's just been a few series lately where on the first book I'm like 'sweet, these are a decent length' then I look ahead... I know it's more about pacing than outright length, but I didn't expect this to be a series where the books get as long as they do.

    I don’t disagree. But it makes sense here, I think.

    are we friends or has it been a lie this whole time?

    also, I would only ever do this series on Audio. There's just absolutely no way it hits the same eyeballs only.
