Massive Brandon Sanderson Books
by
As I write 2000 words on something far more serious for tomorrow this was a great break between writing and editing. I’m a big Sanderson fan and have the latest book to read over my Christmas break, if not before when I finish my current fiction read, Howling Dark. I always enjoy NerdForge as do…
