I'M FELICIA

Dr. Felicia J. Lindsey is the founding member of the AGR Book Club and an advocate of literacy.

She always loved to read—getting lost in a character’s journey or immersing herself in a captivating story has been her favorite escape. When she moved to a small town, her love for books deepened, and she found herself reading more than ever. But something magical happened—the more she reads, the more she wanted to experience the places, cultures, and foods within the pages.

This passion led her to create bookish-themed nights, where she would cook or find dishes inspired by the books she was reading. It became a way to bring stories to life, to taste what the characters tasted, and to immerse herself in the worlds beyond the words. She loves to cook, and she dreams of traveling—visiting the cities and countries from my favorite books, indulging in their native foods and drinks, and sharing those experiences with others.

Books are meant to be shared, discussed, and savored, just like a great meal. Whether it’s through themed pairings, engaging conversations, or immersive experiences, She love bringing stories to life and building a community of readers who want to do the same.

MY STORY

After co-authoring and publishing a book, I quickly realized the challenges that new authors face in getting their work noticed. The journey of marketing a book, finding the right audience, and making an impact in a crowded literary world can be overwhelming. Inspired to help, I set out to create a space where both emerging and multi-published authors could gain visibility, connect with readers, and celebrate the stories they’ve worked so hard to share.

As a lifelong book lover and an avid cook, I knew I wanted to bring another passion into this space—food. There’s something special about pairing a great book with an incredible meal, just like how a beautifully written story can transport you to another world. That’s how AGR Book Club was born—a community-driven platform that brings together literature, food, and vibrant discussion.

AGR Book Club is more than just a book club; it’s a space for readers to share recommendations, engage in lively discussions, and discover book-inspired places and events. It’s also a place where members can celebrate their love of food—whether by cooking dishes inspired by their latest reads, highlighting incredible restaurants, or showcasing talented new chefs.

At its core, AGR Book Club is about bringing people together through stories and shared experiences—because books, like meals, are meant to be savored and enjoyed with others.

“I have been a member of the AGR Book Club since 2020, and it has been an incredible experience! The discussions are always engaging, and I love sharing books and personal stories with fellow members. But what I’ve enjoyed the most is how this book club has inspired me in the kitchen. As a good cook, I’ve always loved trying new recipes, but pairing some of our book selections with dishes I would have never thought to make has completely transformed my Friday night dinners. It’s become a special tradition in my home, and I’m so grateful for the unique blend of literature and food that AGR Book Club brings!”
