Dune: The Lady of Caladan, Den of Iniquity, and The Lost Heir

I started Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.
I've been in a reading slump since August, picking up books, reading a around 30-50 pages, and putting them back down.
I've heard many people talk about how readable Sanderson's books are, while also having amazing worldbuilding.
So far, everything has been true. I'm enjoying Mistborn immensely. I find myself still thinking about the story after I put it down and want tog et back to the story, which is a refreshing change of pace for me.

I'm currently reading The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World by Steve Brusatte, The Swerve: How the World Became Modern by Stephen Greenblatt, and The Halloween Moon by Joseph Fink.
