New for 2026 Winter Adventure Book Club

I've had this idea for a while and I hope you find it interesting too. While we are waiting for warmer weather - let's start an adventure book club!

Plan is to meet once a month (more if we want to) and discuss the selected book in detail and share perspectives. Let's meet at various local places (coffee shop, winery or other locale) have a bite to eat, a beverage and share our thoughts on our selected book. I thought it would be fun to center our reading around outdoor adventure, true stories of survival, topics like that.

I found this awesome list of books as inspiration for our selections. Book club suggestions for adventure

What I'd like to do is now through January 15th sign up to join the book club, read this month's selection and plan to join us at the meeting on Jan 29th. I will select the first book and location. After our first meeting, I'd like someone to select the next book and location. So on and so forth. Everyone can suggest books!

Let's try it and see what happens. The first book is (drum roll please)
"She Explores" Stories of Life-Changing Adventures On the Road and In the Wild by Gale Straub
