Finished!  Both Elantris and my Elantrian level reading challenge.  I typically don't finish these challenges, though I sometimes get close, so I'm quite pleased with myself at the moment.

I read the audio books on my daily commute which knocked out a big portion of these rather long books.  I got through them much faster than I thought I would but I really got hooked right up front when I least expected it and they've been a lot of fun to read.  It's time to move on, however.  There are other books and authors to read.

With 2014 days left I'm not ruling out a return to the Sanderson challenge later in the year but I've GOT to take a break and read some other stuff for my other challenges.   A jump to the Mistborn level (3 more books) seems a likely occurrence now that I think about it but I'm going to stay strong and move on to... oh, The Reckoners looks interesting and it's 3 books... now where was I?  Oh yea, staying strong.  When I get done with my other reading challenges, perhaps then... what's this Way of Kings book about?  It's got a 4.57 star average rating from 74 WWEnders.  Maybe I can just dip back in for one more to help finish off my Audiobook Reading Challenge... ahem.... sooooo.... other authors.  I've got a stack of books by other authors on my desk to choose from and... oh, wait, Firstborn is a novella available for free from Tor.com?  i could read that for my Tor.com Free Short Fiction Reading Challenge!  A Sanderson novella must be 400 pages AND it's a sci-fi book!  I didn't know he wrote sci-fi....

Staying strong is obviously going to be harder than I thought. Damn you Gragdet Sanderson and your Dakhor monks at the Legendarium!
