= This Month in Brandon Sanderson-November =

Hello, welcome to This Month in Brandon Sanderson! This might seem like I'm talking to virtually no one, but people do come and look at the pages they just don't very often comment, or edit, or add posts...but I do know you are there. I would like to thank you for visiting the Brandon Sanderson Wiki and for being patient with its development.

What is this Series?
On This month in Brandon Sanderson I will be going over what to expect in the coming month, weather that's new merch, or a new book release, or where you can see Brandon at a singing. I also will give a brief summary of what is new on the Wiki, but that will not be the main focus. If you want to get to the Blog through the navigation bar you can go to COMMUNTIY -> THIS MONTH IN BRANDON SANDERSON, or EXPLORE -> RECENT BLOG POSTS.

Last Month: October
October held the release of the second Skyward novella ReDawn on the 26th. ReDawn is co-authored by Janci Patterson and is published by Delecort press in the US. The novella starts after Starsight, then begins to over lap with Cytonic, the third book in the series. ReDawn stars the Alien Alanik as she finds she has no choice but to trust Spensa's friends Jorgen, Rig, and FM after finding that her planet has given in to the Superiority.

You can read more about ReDawn here, please keep in mind that we have not yet added a plot summary.

If you preorder a book anywhere in the US you are able to submit your order code, to receive a M-droid enamel pin and access to Brandon's Mini-Con Launchparty livestream on the Get Underlined website. On the livestream you can watch Brandon's release party where he does a spoiler-free reading and Q&A. You can watch this from anywhere around the world. If you order from Barnes and Nobles you are entered into a sweepstake to get a leather bound journal, a signed copy of the book, and a selection of Branon's favorite books that they’ll send to you. Cytonic follows a teenaged girl Spensa as she wanders into the Nowhere, it being the only way she can unlock her cytonic abilities and save her planet Detruis.

Along with the release of Cytonic, comes the merch, in conjunction with Mini-Con. The merch including some cool swag, stickers, pins, signed copies of all three books, and a super awesome Doomslug plushie.

Mistborn Cards
Dragonsteel Books partnered up with the King's Wild Project to make beautiful Mistborn playing cards. The King's Wild Project is a company that makes gorgeous luxury playing cards, and if you like both Mistborn and owning pretty things I recommend you check them out. you can get different levels of quality starting from $18 for the Scadrial Edition all the way up to $270 for the Cosmere Collectors Set. If you are wondering what the differences between the different options are, let me explain. The Scadrial Edition is the more standard one (although they are still beautiful), then there is a Gilded Allomancy Edition which has stunning silver lined edges and a leather slipcase, and finally the glorious Cosmere Collectors set including 12 Scadrial Edition and 1 Gilded Edition, contained in a magnetic leather box. Right now the cards are only up for preorder, and are estimated to be shipped out during spring 2022.

The Way of Kings Leatherbound
At long last The Way of Kings leatherbound is now available on the Dragonsteel website. These are lovely high-quality (high priced) books signed by Brandon Sanderson. Only this printing will be signed, and once they are sold out will not be restocked for a while.

On the Wiki
So I have made lots of progress that I'm pretty satisfied with, but I can't do everything. I would appreciate if you could support this wiki by adding more information to the pages. My main concern is Mistborn and Alcatraz which are the two series which I haven't read. If you want to help, I've added a new category in the navigation bar. You can go to COMMUNITY -> EMPTY PAGES, to get a list of articles hat need dire attention.

For you mobile users, I am trying to get the Mobile Main Page working. I've added categories and featured pages but they don't seem to being showing up. If this is only on my end, tell me to stop worrying.

Also, if you just stumbled upon the wiki, pop onto the discussions page and say hi, I'd love to hear from hear from you!

Wrap Up
Over all I am very excited for this month, and the release of Cytonic. It's really great that you can get the singed edition for only 5$ more than the standard price, so I encourage you to seize the opportunity. If there is anything I missed, let me know and I will try and update it. Tell me what you guys think of this month's blog, and I will talk to you later!
