There’s a month and a half left to go before The Way of Kings hits the bookstores.  Signup for the Tor giveaway ends tomorrow night, so pretty soon there will be 50 really excited, happy fans… but still a lot of people wishing they were one of the 50.  Well, we have something for people anxious to get the book, and something for people anxious to talk after reading the book!

If you’ve gotten an ARC and want to talk about it without having to hold back, join our forum and send me a private message to let me know you’re an ARC reader, and we’ll get you into our pre-release forum!

If you haven’t gotten a copy yet, we’d like to invite you to sign up for the Stormblessed Way of Kings giveaway by registering for the forum and posting twice by 11:59pm US Central time on August 4.  2 ARCs and a retail copy will go out to random members!  The ARCs can mail out before release; the winner of the retail copy will have to wait a few more weeks.  Sorry, but it is still free!  (Winning members will be notified by email and forum message, and must reply with a valid shipping address to receive their copy). If you’re not sure what to say with your posts, you could greet someone in the Introductions, comment on the preview chapters available at Tor.com, or share your favorite moment from another Brandon Sanderson book.

Update 8/11/2010:

Our three names have been drawn, winners notified and responded, and Tor has shipped the books directly to them.  Three lucky Stormblessed members will have Way of Kings copies sometime next week!

Because our site focuses on The Stormlight Archive series, Portalstones.com (the Wheel of Time site that has recorded JordanCon for the last 2 years) has allowed us to bring you video of Brandon Sanderson from JordanCon 2010 (Saturday, April 24).

Here, Mr. Sanderson reads part of Chapter 3 and Interlude 5 of The Way of Kings, and talks a little about literacy and gender roles, plus the “spren,” spirit-creatures that play an important part in the book.  Portalstones will have more video from JordanCon in the next few weeks, but for now, enjoy some of The Way of Kings in the author’s own voice (hit “more” to see the video players):
