Are you an explorer? Do you like adventure? When is the last time you did something that everyone else thought was crazy? For me, I honestly cannot think of a time I ventured too far out of my normal routine, but Kate Harris is a different story. Not only is she brilliant (I mean, she studied at Oxford and MIT), but she is also daring and driven to have experiences like nothing else. This is what made her book Lands of Lost Borders: A Journey on the Silk Road so phenomenal to read; not only did I learn so much but was also inspired to try for more in life, even if I don't want to head out on my bike for a year.

In trying to decide which book to read first in 2018 I was untroubled because I had been looking forward to Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks since it arrived in my Book of the Month box several months ago. I am usually hesitant when considering books written by celebrities, especially ones that are not memoirs, but this one gave me confidence that it would be an amazing read.
