Hey, Kat,My favorite books are 1984 (Orwell), Flowers for Algernon (Keys), Unwind (Shusterman), Bruiser (Shusterman), and Break by Hannah Moskowitz. All but the last one are sci-fi, which is my favorite genre.
Why? Because sci-fi explores all the what-if questions we can't answer. It lets us comment on our world while building a new world. It lets me spread empathy through characters I've created.
I've never read Eat, Pray, Love, but I've heard great things.
I'm a traveler too. Soon, I'll start traveling across America. What's one of the most majestic places you've been, and why?
Be well,

Harry Potter series. This was probably the first book that really got me into reading. I love that it compels the imagination to transport me to a different world, one of connection and possibility.
Eat Pray Love. I first started solo traveling at the age of 17 and so many people over the years judged me for it (especially considering I would do solo trips as a married woman). This book spoke to that adventurous part of me and reminded me that it doesn’t matter what others think. All I must do in this life is listen and act on what my heart calls me to do. Elizabeth Gilbert perfectly describes this feeling and all that is involved in solo travel.
