Mistborn
Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga.
Once, a hero arose to save the world. He failed.
Ever since, the world has been a wasteland of ash and mist controlled by the immortal emperor known as the Lord Ruler.
But hope survives. A new uprising is forming, one built around the ultimate caper, the cunning of a brilliant criminal mastermind, and the determination of an unlikely heroine: a street urchin who must learn to master the power of a Mistborn.

My posts about this book
📚 Great British Bake Off - Of Books
Wry Writer wrote on her blog about the Great British Bake Off Book Challenge.
Here is mine.
ON YOUR MARKS – A Book You Can’t Wait To Read
Exit Party by Emily St. John Mandel. I’m a huge fan of her books and am really looking forward to this one. Comes out September 15, 2026.
SIGNATURE BAKE – A Book From Your Favourite Genre
I love survival stories. There are many great books out there, but the most recent one for me was 117 Days Adrift by Maurice and Maralyn Bailey. Another great one is Left for Dead by Eric Jay Dolin.
SHOWSTOPPER – A Book With A Beautiful Cover
I love the outdoors and hiking; I found this cover beautiful and creative. A Walk in the Park by Kevin Fedarko.
SOGGY BOTTOM – A Book That Made You Cry
Oof. Lots of books make me cry, but this one was so powerful, raw, and full of hope that I cried many times while reading it. When Breath Becomes air by Paul Kalanithi.
HOLLYWOOD HANDSHAKE – Your Perfect Book
My perfect book is hard to nail down. All books are beautiful and perfect for different reasons, but mine would include animals, the outdoors, kind humans, and some history. That about describes Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton for me. I just loved the book. So, it’s a double entry on this list for me.
LEAVING THIS WEEK – A Book You Didn’t Finish
Always remember the words of Doris Lessing:
” There is only one way to read, which is to browse in libraries and bookshops, picking up books that attract you, reading only those, dropping them when they bore you, skipping the parts that drag – and never, never reading anything because you feel you ought, or because it is part of a trend or a movement. Remember that the book which bores you when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are forty or fifty- and vice versa. Don’t read a book out of its right time for you. " ~ Doris Lessing
Don’t be afraid to stop reading a book. It may not be your time.
I’ve stopped many books, and you should too. Dive deep into new genres and try reading a book that doesn’t even look good to you. Explore. You may just be surprised by what you find.
Three recent books I DNF.
Dominion by Matthew Scully
Dominion by Tom Holland.
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.
STAR BAKER – A Five Star Read
Last years 5 star read was hands down Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton. Another one that everyone should read is Foster by Claire Keegan.
AND THE WINNER IS – A Book By A Favourite Author
A hands-down favorite author is Maria Popova. I love how she writes. Her latest book, Traversal, was outstanding.
And you, Avid Reader, what would make it into your Great British Bake Off list?
Paused: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson 📚
Did Not Finish: Paused: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson 📚
Paused for now. Will have to come back later and try again. 115 pages or so into the story, and I don’t have a connection to the characters or the story. There is such high praise for this book, it surprises me. But, it may just take more time…
Gotta always remember:
Words of Wisdom from Doris Lessing:
” There is only one way to read, which is to browse in libraries and bookshops, picking up books that attract you, reading only those, dropping them when they bore you, skipping the parts that drag – and never, never reading anything because you feel you ought, or because it is part of a trend or a movement. Remember that the book which bores you when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are forty or fifty-and vise versa. Don’t read a book out of its right time for you."
