A Sanderlanche of Mistborn Memes for Cosmere Fans in Need of a Re-read

Story time! Almost two years ago, I was working at a bar when one of my fellow waiters invited me to join his book club; the reading material was meant to be Brandon Sanderson's entire body of work. The group chat for the club, titled "Cosbeer," was active in discussing the proper reading order, how often we should meet, and how much an adult with a full time job should be expected to read between meetings. I ended up tagging along once or twice, but it eventually became pretty clear that no one in the "Cosbeer" chat had any intention of following through with the Cosmere part of the hangout. 

Thus, the Mistborn trilogy ended up gathering dust on my desk. That is, until I got my hopes up for the Winds of Winter because of some false claims on Reddit, prompting me to desperately need a fantasy book to fill the aching void in my soul. Now, I'm three Sanderlanches into the Cosmere and ready for so much more.

    <Messages 7:22 PM Kelsier Vin, I don't think you should keep talking to that Venture kid Details Why not? Is it because he might recognize me if we have to rob Keep Venture? Do you want me to stay available so I have an excuse to spy on as many noblemen as possible? Or are you worried that my feelings might compromise the mission? What? No he's a giant nerd and I hate him iMessage HO
