For conversation 1 dealing with Eat, Pray, Love, I would recommend "Un amico italiano: eat, pray, love in Rome" because it is by the same author and similar concept, except focusing on travels in Rome, Italy. I would also suggest "Day of honey: a memoir of food, love, and war" by Annia Ciezadlo as its premise is similar, but focuses on cooking during a time of war and tribulation. It is also a memoir.
Conversation 2, I would suggest "Vittorio, the vampire: new tales of the vampires" by Anne Rice. This book is face paced and is classified as horror, as opposed to a romance. It is an adult story. It is a face-paced, non-romantic angst-y title, still featuring vampire and vampire lore, unlike Twilight.
For conversation 3, I would recommend The Big Burn by Timothy Egan. While it is also about Teddy Roosevelt and his preservation of forests policies, it also about the dangerous forest fire of 1910, and extinguishing it and the dangers the rangers faced during the fire. This could provide the same amount of thrill the reader enjoyed in the "River of Doubt" while still being historically accurate.
