    I decided not to premiere this one because it's so long and I want you to be able to put me on double speed lol. Also the length doesn't spoil the video this time around because I finished all the books on my TBR even after I found a five star read!!

    12:12 "There are 30 books in this series" No Kayla, Mistborn only has 3 books: The Final Empire, The Well of Ascension and Hero of Ages. It is a COMPLETE trilogy. You DO NOT have to read whatever else is in the expanded universe. Mistborn is just three books.

      I read the Mistborn as a trilogy years ago, and did not have the urge to pick up the rest in the larger universe. And it is fine that way. However I would recommend you read the entire trilogy, because some things are changed and re-framed within the internal history of the book, and those are really good twists and make the books better as you go on. It is a quite rare feat to pull this off well, but Mistborn is a great example.

    It's so funny. I was in Vancouver on vacation for the first two weeks of October. I had brought Darkfever with me to read. Like yourself, I struggled with it and considered dnf'ing. Then one night, the book fell into the narrow space between bed and wall and I didn't bother picking it out of there. Just checked out of the Airbnb and left it behind. 😂

    I think your idea of finding more current favorites for some of those years would be fun. I also think you could do something where you challenge each year's favorite. Like get 3-5 books to read from each year, specifically one that you feel strongly could be favorites, and see if you find one that is better than whatever you have already listed!

    I always love your baking clips!!! I am from New Zealand (where pav was created), and it is hard!!! Nobody can make it without cracking the surface. You do NOT flip it over to fill it, it's more like frosting the top of a cake, but instead of frosting it's whipped cream and fruit. Nobody makes it right the first time, In my family we have to crack open the oven slightly and let it cool completely, hoping that it does not collapse haha. Try again with an Australian or New Zealand recipe!

    If it helps mistborn is a trilogy and can be read in isolation! There is mistborn era 2 set hundreds of years later but it’s a sequel trilogy. Like it follows different characters and a different setting (I haven’t even read it.) And the rest of the cosmere isn’t needed unless you’re really compelled to read the brandy sandy cinematic universe
    Basically mistborn 1-3 tells a complete story. Anything beyond that is just for fun or for Easter eggs

    You definitely need to finish Mistborn Era 1! There’s only 3 books. Era 2 has 4 books but even though they are set in the same world, it’s set in a different time so you can read each arc separately. Most of Brandon Sanderson’s novels are interconnected. The worlds they are set on are all part of his universe called the Cosmere. But you don’t have to read them all. It’s more like finding Easter eggs for fans when you see references to other worlds and characters in the books.

    Okay, I rated Mistborn about 4~4.5/5 stars, sooooo I feel comfortable saying that you may like the next one, The Well of Ascension, even more. I had finished that one several months back and gave it 5/5 stars. So now I kind of want you to read at least the Mistborn trilogy (the last three apparently take place in a separate timeline in the future).
    I am sad that this series of yours is over though! I've had so much fun watching you read a book for every year you've been alive. It's inspired me to look for reads within years I haven't read a book for/haven't had a 5-star read for.

    The Blade Itself is one of my all time fav fantasy books. The audiobook by Steven Pacey is PHENOMENAL and on YT 👀👀 However, I 100% understand why you didn't like it and completely anticipated that. We rarely like the same novels 😂

    I was so sad for you when I saw you were going to read Darkfever 😂 That is one of my least favourite books (that I've completed reading) of all time. On the other hand, The Thirteenth Tale is one of my favourites, so I'm glad you read and loved that 🎉
