[Hannah]

I just bought a beat up copy of Mistborn from a secondhand book store as I’m pretty new to any type of adult fantasy. My boyfriend has been recommending it for years so I gave it a shot and it might just be the best fictional work I’ve ever had the privilege of reading. I’m on The Well of Ascension now and I’m so excited!

I see a number of series in your list, Elise. How do you (and others) keep track of which series you're reading and where you're up to?

If you mean the order of books, I use a website called https://www.fantasticfiction.com/ Otherwise, I just shelve every book on Goodreads.
