As someone who aspires to becoming a witty conversationalist, I found a number of these tips
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/fulfillment-any-age/201712/10-must-know-tips-making-better-conversations
to be particularly useful, such as the tip to listen with one's full attention instead of worrying about what one is going to say next. I notice the tips did not include Kestrell's number one conversation starter: Read anything new lately?
Also, I just realized that the holiday season must seem like a marathon for those who feel anxious about having to make conversation, so I'll just point out the tip about silence being okay, too.

My take on your #1 topic is more what are you reading now, because sometimes finishing a book happens a lot less often, but I'm always reading something.
