Well they have some spelling errors.. But I was perusing this site trying to find my next fantasy series to read. At the very bottom of the page Brandon (Brian) Sanderson is mentioned.

To tell you the truth I don't even remember.. It was South East Orem. We moved church buildings at one time If I remember correctly.. I wasn't in the ward to long, but I think the Bishop was Johnson?

Oh btw. I just finished Warbreaker yesterday. I really liked it. I finished it in 3 days I gues.. But to my credit I read it all at work.. (I work in a call center) But ya.. you are awesome Brandon! I can't wait for the next Mistborn book to come out.. I've been hacing the hardest time finding a good fantasy book to read.. I've started and stopped like 4 other books.. So it was refreshing to be able to finally be able to read a book all the way through without getting so bored I can't stand it anymore.. It was a real page turner. But unfortunately now I have to find something else to read..

I was actually in Brandon's ward for almost a month before I found out he was a published fantasy author. I made some comment to someone in the ward about really enjoying reading fantasy and was looking for something new.. They told me Brandon had a book out by TOR. (which really impressed me) So I asked Brandon the name of it and decided to buy it, to support my fellow member.(I used to be the kind of person that only read books from the library) I was really impressed by Elantris. I normally don't like Novels, ( I tend to think they are too 'short') but I really enjoyed this book. I tried to get other people to read it, but no one gave it a chance. Probably because they didn't have much faith in a local boy or something. I was really excite when I was in Borders a few months ago and saw Brandon had a new book out. Luckily I got one that was autographed. I never did get Elantris autographed even though Brandon told me he would.. But I have since moved from that ward.. Anywho about Mistborn.. I was really blown away by this book.. I have to say it is by far my favorite of his books (considering there are only two out so far.. that doesn't say much). I'm also excited that it is a trilogy, so I will be able to enjoy more of this world. I really really really like the idea of allomancy. It's really unique, and a very good idea! But ya.. Brandon Sanderson kicks A.. Also it makes me happy that two of his favorite Authors (Orson Scott Card and Robin Hobb) are mine as well..
