What Is Book Trip Book Club?


Book Trip Book Club is an online book club for readers who love getting swept away by stories that transport them-literally. Founded by Barb Beattie, a travel agent, mentor, and lifelong book lover, this club was born from a desire to connect with fellow readers who crave that magical, sense of place feeling in a great book—the kind that makes you feel like you're walking the cobbled streets of Europe, hiking through the misty mountains, or sipping coffee in a tucked-away café somewhere across the world.

How it Works:  Your Bookish Escape

Each season, we “travel” to a different region through two atmospheric reads that bring the setting to life. Whether it’s fiction or nonfiction, historical or modern, it just has to immerse us in the place. Over three months, we’ll have two book discussions (casual, friendly, and fun!) and a third meeting to announce the next destination and book lineup.
This is a free community for anyone who loves books, travel, or both-no passport required, just your curiosity and a cozy reading spot.
