Nomadic Matt's Book Club Event Reminder!

Hey ConvenienceBigs,

I just want to send you a friendly reminder about our upcoming virtual book club! On the first Wednesday of every month, we host a virtual book club where the author discusses their book and takes your questions.

This month, we're reading The Way of Wanderlust by Don George. One of my all-time favorite travel writers is Don George.



He's not a big name like Bill Bryson or Pico Iyer, but his influence in travel writing is everywhere and goes back decades. He's been editor of The San Francisco Examiner and the San Francisco Chronicle, literally wrote the book on travel writing for Lonely Planet, is an editor-at-large for National Geographic, and started the Book Passage Travel Writers conference.

I met Don about nine years ago at a writer's conference. His ability to be descriptive and vivid while conveying a sense of place is astounding. He draws you in in a way very few travel writers can. (And he's a really nice guy, too!)

In our discussion, we'll talk about his book, travels, life as a travel writer, and answer any and all your questions.

So read this book and come join us February 3rd!

If you're looking for some suggested reading, be sure to check out all my favorites on Bookshop. It's not as cheap as Amazon but the money helps small, independent bookstores rather than Amazon. If you're in the US and UK, buy from them!  (But, if you only use Kindle, here's the Amazon link.)

Until next month, happy reading!

Best,

Nomadic Matt
