New year, new book list. Welcome to our little travel book club. In 2023, we’ll be traveling everywhere from Uzbekistan to Somalia to The Andes. We’ll go on a New York City food tour, backpack Thailand in 90s, and see Hawaii through the eyes of a local.
This is a no-pressure book club. It has been since our inaugural pick. You can join at any time. You can skip any month. And if you don’t like the book, that’s okay too. Don’t feel like you have to finish it. I still love hearing your thoughts (so feel free to rant away)!
Here are our 2023 Eden travel book club picks!

About Eden Travel Book Club
- Each month, we pick out one travel book (either fiction or nonfiction) to buddy read. We highlight popular and underrated titles that stir discourse and fit with the atmosphere of the season (we’re huge mood readers, after all).
- Our latest pick is always featured on this page. You’ll also find links to past and upcoming Eden Travel Book Club picks.
- Now, it’s your turn to decide whether or not you want to read the book club pick of the month.
- You can skip any month! Life gets busy, we get it (and sometimes our book club pick might not be up your alley – no hard feelings). If you start to read a book and decide it’s not for you, feel free to DNF it and still share all your thoughts!
- Every month, we release a discussion guide to accompany our book club pick. These questions are meant to help you host a lil’ book club girls’ night (hosting your own book club is totally optional, but we want to give you a fun, intentional way to spend quality time with your friends, chat about travel, and read books together).


bookmarked!!, I love your book club!
When I saw the photo, I knew that The Beach was going to be on this list. That’s one of my favorite books. Will pick up The White Mosque later. It sounds interesting.
I’m so excited about your 2023 list!
