The best books we read in 2024 are like a portable troupe of the best travel companions you could ask for—bitingly funny, charming, and always down for a late-night chat if you’re feeling restless with jet lag. Even if we put our journeys aboard planes, trains, automobiles, and cruiseliners aside, 2024 has proved a whirlwind ride in its own right. And here at Traveler, we’re grateful for the extra hand to ground us in the present, or whisk us away from the turbulence.
As we head into the new year and shed the weight of the last, we’re making room in our carry-ons for all of these reads. Between the revealing memoirs and historical novels, the highly anticipated new releases and comforting classics, these stories will make time fly by during a long layover, anchor you in a cozy scene in the middle of a hectic journey, and even take you on trip whilst you’re already on one. Below, we’ve gathered the best books we read in 2024 that our editors plan to return to again and again as we hit the road (and skies and seas).
