2023 Travel Journal
January 1, 2023 - December 31, 2023

It's time for a new travel journal. I can't wait to see where the year takes us!


There are four 2023 Travel Lists below. The first three are reserved for "real" places in the world. The fourth one is for the fictional places you visit.

There are a couple ways you can "work your journal".
✱ Complete one, two, three or four full lists of 23.
✱ Mix full lists and mini lists to equal sets of 23 to suit your reading goals.
Examples:
2X20 AND 2X13
2X23 AND 2X10
1X20 AND 1X13 AND 1X23

Challenge Rules: All forms of books are accepted as long as they are 100 pages or more. When posting updates of completed books, please include a link to the title and author’s name, along with the date you finished reading the book. When you have completed the challenge, please copy and paste your entire challenge and repost in a new message, letting us know it is completed.

Please note: You may only use a book once for this challenge.
