    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    my copy of Tress has finally shipped! Brandon has confirmed the other 3 secret books will ship on better time, they just were not expecting the kickstarter to do as well as it did. I'm ok with this, looking forward to finally reading it!

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    I hear a lot of mixed feelings about Lost Metal, I still haven't gotten around to it yet. Very hard for me to get cozy and read these days. I'm not comfortable in bed reading like I used to be a few years ago, and I don't like reading at my desk, because I am at my desk all day for work/games...

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    I have not finished yet, but based on what I have read and know about Tress, I would say yes it is probably ok. I do the same thing with speed changes when I watch YouTubers, and it is similar, with some I go faster, etc. I know Brandon's Skyward series is targeted to that age range. He just...

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    I am doing just the opposite, going to keep my copy of Tress in a gallon ziploc bag though for safekeeping and wash my hands before I read it. I don't like owning fancy books, but even a $40 book is fancy to me and I want to take care of it. I may give them as gifts someday, so I want to keep...

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    That is actually a really good idea! Starting with short books... I will do that. I haven't listened to podcasts in about 8 months, but I used to listen to them all the time. So, yeah I think I will start with some short book audibles and build my way up. Thank you for the advice.

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    Do you have any tips on how one who struggles to enjoy audio books, might train their ears to enjoy them? I listened to a autobiography once on Audible, and I actually did enjoy it, but for some reason I really struggle to listen to fantasy/sci-fi books on Audible. Do you have any tips on how to...

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    I think this is the best way to do things, but since I was spending $200 on the kickstarter... I wanted to be extra sure... because that was a lot of money. I didn't just get the ebooks (I got the hardbacks too). I probably won't ever in my life spend that much on a Kickstarter again though. I...

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    Same, it is so great! Honestly the one I was most excited for was Secret Project 2, hopefully I love that one too, but I am genuinely surprised how much I am enjoying Tress! :bye: :bye::grouphug::grouphug:

    Tress of the Emerald Sea

    So, I received my ebook of Tress today, from the Brandon Sanderson kickstarter. Just wondering if anyone else is reading it, or if you do read it, post your thoughts here, remember to use spoiler tags! I am reading my copy now!
