Since I can’t always be traveling (boo, right?) I’ve made it my goal to add more travel books to my reading lineup in 2025. I’m a big fan of travel fiction and travel memoirs and thought it would be fun to start a little virtual travel book club to bring you all along on this journey with me! I’ve chosen the books for the first three months so that you can reserve them from your local library (or snag them from Amazon using the links below) but if you’ve got suggestions for future months, hop over to Instagram and DM me!

Fun Fact: My first job ever was working in the local library. I wasn’t even looking for a job, but I was there so often that they offered me one! So I spent my high school years shelving books, helping people find books, and checking books in and out. I guess you can say reading and I have been in a committed relationship for decades!
