BEST AUTHOR BEST : LIZZO

The singer and musician wants to write the great American novel, but first she's publishing a children's book, '' Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin '' : I wanted to inspire young people to fall in love with music. ''

.-  Describe your ideal reading experience.

On a plane. Night flight. Blanket on. Good music.

.-  Do you prefer books that reach you emotionally, or intellectually?

I used to prefer emotional fiction. Now I read more about self-improvement.

.-  What kind of reader were you as a child?

Insatiable. I would consume entire books in a single day.

.-  Which childhood books and authors stick with you most?

'' Where the Red Fern Grows '' was the first book I loved. I also read a lot of fantasy novels, like '' Lord of the Rings '' and '' Wayfarer Redemption.''

.-  What's the best book you've ever received as a gift?

Recently, '' The Molecule of More '' and '' The Autobiography of a Yogi, '' '' The Molecule of More '' is about the dopaminergic reactions that our brain has and the way we respond to the reward system in our brains.

It's helped me understand my brain chemistry. I have a very analytical mind, and the book has helped me understand why I react and respond the way I do.

'' The Autobiography of a Yogi '' is about Paramahansa Yogananda's life. It inspires me to dream big.

.-  What books are you embarrassed not to have read yet?

There's a lot of Ram Dass and Dolores Cannon that I haven't read.

.-  What book is a guaranteed pick-me-up?

'' The Alchemist.'' It's such a simple story about how you can take control of your life, and I think it's an obligatory first read if you are getting into spirituality or self-help. That's where you start.

.-  What's your favorite fictional hero or heroine?

Sailor Moon. I used to read the manga. She's one of the most powerful anime characters in the universe, but her weapon is love.

Watching her at a young age destroy her enemies and destroy negativity and bad energy with love, and her best friends, was super inspiring.

I feel like I do the same thing as an adult : I fight evil with love.

This Publishing continues to Part [2].
