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.

Small town charm,
By
This review is from: Bookworms Anonymous: A Non-Traditional Book Club for All Readers (Paperback)
This was a very enjoyable read. If you belong to a bookclub or are considering joining one, this is a must-read. Peppered throughout the book are small town nuances, superb recipes, and lists of books that the club members highly recommend. Also included is the list of books that have met the member's stamp of approval (an interesting process which must render unanimous votes to make the cut). This is definitely a quick read that you can escape with on any given afternoon.

This is the first book I've read of Jan's and really enjoyed it. It is a fun, quick read, and the book reviews and recipes included are a nice bonus. I will watch for a part 2!

A Book Lovers Must Read!,
By
This review is from: Bookworms Anonymous: A Non-Traditional Book Club for All Readers (Paperback)
Bookworms Anonymous is a fun read for any book lover. The "worms" each bring an interesting twist to the elite club that meets monthly to review books, eat and chat in an out of the way small town. The stamp of approval book list is invaluable and worth purchasing alone. I look forward to hearing Jan's next story!
