ChallengesWhere is the optimization?

Let us look at the following pieces of code:

public void Consume(MyBooksRequest message)
{
    var user = session.Get<User>(message.UserId);
    
    bus.Reply(new MyBooksResponse
    {
        UserId = message.UserId,
        Timestamp = DateTime.Now,
        Books = user.CurrentlyReading.ToBookDtoArray()
    });
}

public void Consume(MyQueueRequest message)
{
    var user = session.Get<User>(message.UserId);

    bus.Reply(new MyQueueResponse
    {
        UserId = message.UserId,
        Timestamp = DateTime.Now,
        Queue = user.Queue.ToBookDtoArray()
    });
}

public void Consume(MyRecommendationsRequest message)
{
    var user = session.Get<User>(message.UserId);

    bus.Reply(new MyRecommendationsResponse
    {
        UserId = message.UserId,
        Timestamp = DateTime.Now,
        Recommendations = user.Recommendations.ToBookDtoArray()
    });
}

Looking at this, I see that I have a requirement to getting my books, my queues and my recommendations. Looking at the code, can you guess how many queries are being generated to get those?

And can you suggest an optimization?
