Bookworms Anonymous: A Non-Traditional Book Club for All Readers

Part memoir, part cookbook, and part informational guide, Bookworms Anonymous by Jan Stafford Kellis describes the author's experiences with her unique book club in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Kellis reveals a nontraditional club in 8 sample meetings, where readers buy only the books they want and take the time they need to read them. Their "read, eat, meet, repeat" structure bonds the members, creating a community extending well beyond the literary world. Kellis offers Book Handling Commandments (do not dog-ear pages) and lively instructions on how to establish your own book club. Filled with personal anecdotes, book reviews, menus, and over twenty recipes, Bookworms Anonymous is designed for anyone who loves to read and wants to enhance the experience.

Jan Stafford Kellis, a member of Bookworms Anonymous for eight years and counting, lives in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This is her first book.
