Eden Travel Book Club
Welcome to Eden Travel Book Club! Here, you’ll find unique travel book recommendations, reading lists that spotlight memoirs and essays and stories in translation, and of course, our monthly travel book club pick. Each month, I select one travel book (either fiction or nonfiction) to read alongside you. In 2026, we’ll be traveling everywhere from Japan to Borneo to Croatia.
January Book Club Pick

“In only six hours’ time I was due to start the ride of a lifetime. A World Record Attempt to become the fastest woman to circumnavigate the planet by bike. I’d need to ride 29,000 km – or 18,000 miles – all on my own, over four continents and through 16 countries, and I’d just realized that I didn’t even know the way out of Berlin.”
– Jenny Graham, Coffee First Then The World (pg. 4)
P.S. This is a no-pressure book club. You can join at any time. You can skip any month. And if you don’t like the book I pick, that’s okay too. Don’t feel like you have to finish it. I still love hearing your thoughts.
