I've finished Day of the Tiffids and Semoisis for the Stellaris book club. We meet on their official discord server.
Trying to read more of my Analog magazines, I'm too many issues behind right now.

Mistborn is currently 2 series. Eventually, I believe, it will be 4. The first is the trilogy (The Final Empire, Well of Ascension, Hero of Ages). The second series is called "Era 2" or "Wax and Wayne" after the main characters. It advances the setting established at the end of the first trilogy by 300 years. The final book in this era is out in November. Eventually there will be an Era 3 which I have heard is possibly 1980s-ish cyberpunk inspired (with magic, of course), and then Era 4, which is going to be more "magical sci-fi" future. These later eras will end up meshing with later eras of the Stormlight Archive. All this is inspired by things the author has said are his plans, but it's obviously going to take a while. Mistborn Era 1 is chronologically before Stormlight Archive books 1-5.
Oh, and to add to the intricacies, you could try reading the graphic novel White Sands (it is currently out, but Brandon plans on doing an update of it eventually). You can get the White Sands prose novel for free by signing up for his newsletter, though it isn't the same as the graphic novel, and the graphic novel is the one considered "canon". White Sands has ties to both Mistborn Era 2 and Stormlight Archives.

Ignore this. @KahlessNestor had it right. Era 1 of Mistborn is before Stormlight 1-5. I misread the post.

Ah, okay. Thanks! I'm not always as on top of that kind of stuff. I listen to 17th Shard, but I'm not the super freak fan they all are LOL I love the Cosmere, but I don't track every Word of Brandon. Good to know!

I first read The Elenium at around the same time. I was just getting back into fantasy and D&D and got three books out from the library. The Diamond Throne, Sheepfarmer's Daughter, and A Game Of Thrones. A few years ago I went back and re-read The Diamond Throne. Likewise, I find it had not aged well. The dialogue was snappy, the action swashbuckle-y, but it all was just too effortless. The risks never seemed to match the stakes.

Back when I was a teenager in the stone age, I loved my Analog subscription my grandparents bought for me. But I could never keep up, even with a teenager's free time. Can't imagine trying to keep up now as an adult...
