    6:20 in Germany we actually have a „custom“ price for the books so the bookstore/online store can’t put a discount on them. But sometimes bookstores have „mängelexemplare“ that’s when the books were damaged while making so if there’s like a cut in the Cover etc. they can sell them for less.
    If the books are used they can be sold for less of course. 😁

    Hey Ash, if you have ever wanted to support a indie or local bookstore, but shop online because you have none close to you. Check out bookshop . org. With their website, you are able to purchase the books you want to buy, and some of that money goes back to indie bookstores. On their website it says that they have been able to raise "
    $13,669,683.02 raised for local bookstores ". As far as I can tell the only bookstores that are included are in the US. To my knowledge, you will never pay full price for a book, they always have a few dollars off of the books.

    The Cosmere is a lot but not all of his books (basically if our earth is a thing then it's not cosmere). Warbreaker is a standalone for now but years in the future there will be a sequel! But as far as covers go all of Brandon's uk cosmere have that same style of cover with different colors as the main color depending on what world it takes place it, so you'll probably be able to grab that if you want to have it match. warbreaker is great to read before way of kings, its such a fun book! But the specific order doesn't matter too much overall cause you'll find all the connections eventually (or are told about them all if you miss some of them) but generally people do recommend warbreaker before stormlight and I agree with them (not just because it has one of my top favorite cosmere characters xD)

    Definitely read all the Sanderson, you won't regret it!! Also yes, Warbreaker is a stand alone, for now at least. He plans to go back to the world eventually but it stands alone for now. It is also a good idea to read it before the Stormlight Archive (Way of Kings etc.) Arcanum Unbounded is the collection of short stories set in his universe, the cosmere. Sorry, now I'll stop 😂

    If you like historical fiction you should read chains, forge, and ashes they are really good
