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.

5Get This Book!  Sep 14, 2009
On a recent writers' retreat, our group stopped on our way to Drummond Island at Timberdoodle in Detour, MI, picked up this book on the shelf, recognized the author as the woman behind the counter who had greeted us warmly, took the book with us, and left it on the table the rest of the weekend. We picked it up, laughed at the captions on the pictures, read aloud from the pages, and I read it all today - so absorbed I forgot an appointment. What a find! A happy serendipity to discover in Jan's book the love of, and addiction to, reading that our writers share. If you love books, cannot be without a book on your desk or lap, get Jan's book to savor, share and keep.

Jan takes us to a little town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where a small group of women start their own book club. The long winters are survived by reading as much as possible and sharing great meals. The book is a quick read and will entertain you from start to finish. Their non-traditional book club makes those of us in a traditional book club sit up and take notice!

5Funny, interesting, motivating read!  Jul 10, 2009
This book was easy to read and I found myself unable to put it down. It provided many good chuckles and I could relate to several situations in the book. The reviews of the books read by the members and their apparent love of reading motivated me to read more. Anyone who enjoys reading and discussing good books should read this book!

5This is a great book!  Jun 25, 2009
I loved the book. As someone who lives in the U.P. it struck a chord with me. I found myself laughing all the way. And I was happy to find that I had read a few of the books that were reviewed and shared some of the same opionins regarding them. This book has not only provided me with a new list of authors and books to search for but also a few new recipes to try. The book was so good I read it in one afternoon and evening. This usually never happens as I have two small children who demand much of my time. I hope to see more books from this author.

5Great book!  Jun 08, 2009
This is a witty, uplifting, humorous account of a non-traditional book club in the midwest. I just couldn't put the book down till the last word was read. I laughed out loud more than once. It's a great place to get good ideas about starting your own book club, choosing some books to share and recipes to enjoy.
