Best Books of 2022
Our favorite book finds of the year!
Watson is as science fiction author and a convert to Catholicism from the Church of Christ. In between teaching R.C.I.A. classes Watson typically reviews science fiction and mystery novels where she obsesses over robots, strange aliens and anything related to cyborgs or questions about the nature of humans and souls. As for non-Catholic books, anything that compares Catholic Theology of the Body ethics with another worldview would be fascinating. Also, a space haj or other various comparative pilgrimages would be fantastic! Basically, if you have big ideas or philosophy in your fiction she’ll probably want to read it.
