As you prepare for that upcoming winter getaway, be it at a ski lodge in Aspen or a cozy cabin in the Catskills, the most important choice is which new book should accompany you. Enter the Women Who Travel quarterly book club—a hand-picked, seasonal list of the most exciting new reads written by women authors. We asked our editors, contributors, and well-traveled bibliophiles in our orbit to share which new books are making it into their carry-on this winter. Suffice to say, their picks have us hoping for a snow day, ASAP.
Read on for 9 new books to pick up at your local bookstore, from a collection of short stories to gripping memoirs, to the true-crime account of an undercover investigation. These books will transport you near and far, from the Everglades in South Florida to the Jamaican countryside and mid-20th century Malaya. We’d love to hear which you’re reading—and which fantastic new books we missed—on Instagram or Facebook.
