Eden Travel Book Club Picks (2024)

Our 2024 Eden Travel Book Club list is here! This year, we’ll visit a bookseller in a tiny village in New Zealand, cycle with monarchs migrating across North America, and find solace in Italian gelato (and later, Italian art). We’ll read cozy sci-fi, some romance, a horror (in October), a young adult novel in verse, and a few books in translation.

If this is your first time hearing about Eden Travel Book Club, welcome aboard! Every year, we present a booklist that’s your virtual boarding pass to different countries, stories, perspectives, and genres.

Eden Travel Book Club 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, that’s okay too! Please don’t feel like you have to finish it. You can find out more about our travel book club here.

Disclosure: Heads up, this post contains affiliate links, which means Passport To Eden may get a commission (at no extra cost to you) if you make an online purchase. Don’t feel pressured to buy anything. We still love that you’re here, reading our content (side note: we suggest getting a coffee or tea first because our blog posts tend to be long).

Eden Travel Book Club FAQ

All your questions about Eden Travel Book Club, answered.

You can join Eden Travel Book Club any time. Whenever you sign up for our book club newsletter, you’ll get a printable discussion guide for our book club pick of the month sent straight to your inbox. You can also find our latest book club pick here!

You can skip any month. Life gets busy, I get it. And sometimes our book club pick might not be up your alley – no hard feelings.

I send our monthly discussion guides straight to your inbox through our Eden Travel Book Club newsletter. You can sign up here (it’s free to join).

I release discussion guides the first week of every month!

In each guide, you’ll find at least eight discussion questions with a travel tilt: four Getting Started questions and four Deeper Discussion questions (these are the questions we’re most known for). All our discussion questions are meant to give you a fun, intentional way to spend quality time with your friends, chat about travel, and read books together.

Our book club hosting kit is a series of printables designed to help you host an in-person book club meeting (think: a schedule planner, icebreaker questions, and an invite list). Organizing a book club can be a lot of coordinating, so this hosting toolkit is designed to (significantly) lower the effort it takes to plan an in-person book club meetup.

You don’t need to host a book club meeting. Some of our book club members use our monthly discussion guides as prompts for their reading journals. I recently spotted one of our members in a cafe with our monthly discussion guide, a notebook, and a latte (the vibes: 10/10). Solo reading time for the win.

Yes, I love seeing your book club pics, whether it’s a library display (to all the librarians who have put up Eden Travel Book Club displays, thank you) or a friends’ night flatlay. You can respond to any of my monthly book club updates with a photo dump, thoughts on our latest monthly book club pick, or suggestions for future Eden Travel Book Club picks! I won’t reshare anything on socials without your consent. 😊
