= This Month in Brandon Sanderson-December = Good day or night, wherever you are in the world, and welcome! If you didn't catch the last blog you can read it here. If you don't already know, This Month in Brandon Sanderson is a series on this wiki where I bring you news on what to expect in the coming month.

Last Month: November
Last month was a fairly busy one, with the release of the long awaited Cytonic, the third book in Brandon Sanderson YA Skyward series. As part of the launch party at FanX, gave 10 lucky participants a prize along with the signed book they ordered.

In November Brandon also particapated in the anual NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), a challenge to write 50,000 words in one month, while encoraging others to join in. He updated his progress on r/Sanderson throughout the month, and to no ones surprise accoplished the goal.

Leatherbounds
For the christmas season the leatherbound Mistborn books are available for a limited time. If you don't get them now, they are going to be printed in the future. They likely won't be available for long, the Way of Kings leatherbound I disscussed in the last blog are already sold out.

Lightweaver Foundation 2021
The Lightweaver Foundation is a charity founded by Brandon Sanderson and his wife Emily, setting out to feed bodies, fill minds, and fuel hope. This year they are selling a limited edition DDF ornament, hand blown, embedded with metallic dircro, and machine etched. They're really cool, because they are all unique due to their hand made nature. The money made from the ornaments will be put into supporting the Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital- Miller Family Campus, to help children in Lehi, Utah to access creative and fun academic assistance and resources through a program called the School Zone. If you would like. If you would like you can also donate money without buying a ornament. It's a really great cause, and you should check their website out.

As part of the charity, The Lightweaver Foundation sold a couple of ornaments that were hand blown by Brandon in an auction. Now two lucky bidders have Brandon's breath trapped in a glass ornament to hang on their tree, for $1,200 & $1,400 each.

Evershore
The third Skyward Flight novella (Co-authored with Janci Patterson), Evershore will be released on December 28th. Each Skyward novella has centered itslef around a different flight memeber, and in this novella, we can see the Cytoverse from the eyes of Jorgen Weight.

On the Wiki
Now, I've added yet another addition to the navigation bar: WANTED PAGES. I promiss I am done messing with it for a while, its just been taking me a while to find the best way to do things.

This month is obviously going to be a busy one, with the holidays and all, so progress on the wiki might temporarily slow.

Wrap Up
I'm probably going to say this almost every month, but this upcoming month is looking to be pretty exciting! Have yourself a magnificent December, and I will talk to you later!
