Book Club
Welcome to our Book club!
This space was created from two of my favorite things in the world: reading and traveling.
There’s just something special about getting lost in a good book while on vacation. Books also make flights go by so much faster, which is always a win.
While many of our picks will pair with travel vibes, you don’t have to be traveling to join. If you love books, you’re in the right place.
To make things easy and stress-free, we’ll share our book club picks six months at a time, giving you plenty of time to find a copy and read at your own pace. At the end of each month, I’ll post a discussion post where we can chat about the book, share favorite quotes, and talk about how it made us feel.
Whether you’re reading from an airport lounge, your couch at home, or somewhere in between, I’m so excited to have you here.
Let’s read!
