Shakespeare's Birthday: "That is the Question" Shakespeare Boardgame Event, April 23rd, 7pm!

Florey's Books welcomes local game creator John Ahlbach, and we invite you to join in and play his board game: "That is the Question: A Game of Shakespeare Knowledge", in observance of William Shakespeare's birthday.

***Tuesday, April 23rd, 7pm***

About the game:

'That is the Question' is a fun journey through all things Shakespeare.

The game's 500 questions come with a multiple-choice option that players with less experience can use to level the playing field against those with more expertise. The questions cover the plots, language and characters of major and minor plays. They cover Shakespeare on stage and in film in our own time.

Knowledge and educated guessing do not always win in That is the Question. Luck must be with you, too, as you must land on the right spaces to win the two of each type of Character Card needed for victory.

So, when Juliet asks, "What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?", the answer is, play That is the Question with your friends or family!

About the author/creator:

John Ahlbach is a teacher at Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco. He wrote the 500 questions used in That is the Question: A Game of Shakespeare Knowledge. The game board and cards were designed by Mona Toft, a graphic artist in St. Paul , MN. Much of the profits from this game will go to Friends: The National Association of Young People Who Stutter, of which John is a co-founder.

"Take a Chance" Joyfulness workshop with Kathleen Nelson, Sunday, April 14th, 1pm!

Florey's Books invites you to a free joyfulness workshop, hosted by Kathleen Nelson.

***Sunday, April 14th, 1pm***

About the event:

Join Bay Area teacher, author and musician Kathleen Nelson for a unique workshop on how to bring more joy into your life. Her new book "Take A Chance" will show you how she took small, practical steps towards making her dreams come true - despite health problems, personal loss, financial ruin and other obstacles - and how you can too. No matter where you are in your life, it is never too late to bring more joy into your days.

About Ms. Nelson:

Kathleen Nelson is a California native. A classical pianist performing since age 6, she developed her introspective songwriting style in her thirties. After her European debut in Vienna, Austria in the 90s, she suffered a series of personal and financial losses and decided to quit performing music for good. She went to work as a legal assistant in Silicon Valley for a decade. Although she continued to teach music, it was years before she found the strength to perform again. Through small, practical steps, she found her way back to music and her joy in life is to encourage others to find their joy.

"From Roaring Hate to Ramrod Straight" Book Event with Author Peter Beck, Mar. 23rd at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Peter Beck, as he discusses his new book "From Roaring Hate to Ramrod Straight - A Journey from Hitler's Germany to the US Marine Corps"

***Saturday March 23rd, 2-4pm***

About the book and author:

Peter Beck, a resident of Pacifica for the last 22 years, has just written a book about his life. On the surface, this might not sound very interesting. However, it takes only about two pages to realize this is no ordinary autobiography.

Born in Berlin in 1935, his family luckily escaped the clutches of the Nazi's solely on the basis of his father's valorous acts in combat during World War One. Flying out of Berlin in 1939, he and his mother and father landed in Genoa, Italywhere they were able to board a ship which took them to Guayaquil, Ecudor. Once in South America, the family settled down only to be uprooted again when the author contracted Tuberculosis, which enabled the family to immigrate to the United States for treatment.

Arriving in New York City in 1940, the book details the experiences of growing up in New York City in the 1940s and 1950s, and then details a 23 year career as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps, a career that took him all over the world and included assignments as the Guard Commander at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; the Director of the Marine Corps Drill Instructor School; and 13 months of combat with an infantry battalion and regiment in the jungles of Vietnam.

Staff assignments in Washington, DC and Honolulu, Hawaii give the reader an insight in to a military organization that no longer exists.

The author is non-judgmental, relating his story in a factual manner, straying from his observational style only during the chapter on Vietnam where he writes from first-hand experiences and occasionally allows his emotions concerning the war in Vietnam to override his journalistic style.

The book is a wonderful snapshot of two eras that no longer exist. A vibrant and dynamic 1940s New York City, and the post-Korean War Marine Corps leading up to our entry into the Vietnam War. As the author states "It's like the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants, great while they lasted, but never to be again."

-----------------------------------
All profits realized from the sale of the book will be donated to the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. The Fund aims to aid the families of our Wounded Warriors as they learn to cope with the horrific injuries sustained by thier loved ones in the line of duty. To date, the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund has disbursed over $67 million to over 50,000 recipients.

How to Raise a Happy Child (and be happy too) Book Event with authors Heather Criswell & Taryn Voget, Mar. 16th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local authors Heather Criswell and Taryn Voget as they discuss their new book "How to Raise a Happy Child (and be happy too)".

***Saturday, March. 16th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

'How to Raise a Happy Child (and be happy too)' is no ordinary parenting 'how-to' book. You will discover how to feel like a parenting pro. You will get an opportunity to step inside the mind of kid whisperer Heather Criswell and understand how she discovered (over 25 years and 30,000 kids) what works with every child, in every situation, every time.

This book is a totally refreshing new approach to parenting. Inside, you will get:

- Step-by-step techniques for getting what you want without using the word "no", time-outs, or rewards
- Simple strategies to bring out the best in your and your child every day
- Amazing tools for creating a stress-free environment
- 22 scenarios with the exact words to use in common situations to get the results you desire
- 8 how-to videos included so you can see the body language, words, and voice tone that get results

Most other parenting books or advice focus on how to use control, discipline, punishments and rewards to get the desired behavior. The techniques presented here offer an inspiring, different new approach for parents who want to raise children who thrive, and have fun doing it.

About the authors:

Heather Criswell is a kid whisperer who has spent 25 years working with over 30,000 children. She is a parent coach, a keynote speaker, and an author, sharing her unique approach and wisdom with families around the world.

Taryn Voget is the cofounder of the Everyday Genius Institute. She is the author of six books on genius, a frequent keynote speaker, a consultant, a coach, and a thought leader on genius and human potential.

They both live in the San Francisco Bay area.

"My Name is Mata Hari" Book Event with publisher Lian Gouw, Feb. 16th, 2-4pm!

Florey's Books welcomes local publisher Lian Gouw as she presents the new historical novel "My Name is Mata Hari" by acclaimed Indonesian novelist Remy Sylado.

***Saturday, Feb. 16th, 2-4pm***

About the book:

My Name is Mata Hari tells the story of Margaretha Geertruida Zelle, a young Dutch woman who became the infamous dancer, courtesan, and World War I double agent known as Mata Hari. She married the older Rudolph MacLeod, a military officer, and travelled with him to the Dutch East Indies. Claiming her mother's Javanese ancestry, she changed her name to Mata Hari, Malay for "eye of the day".

Mata Hari danced on stages across Europe and the Middle East, and took many high-ranking military and government officials as her lovers. At the end of a tumultuous life, convicted for espionage during the First World War yet sustained by her pride, she said, "I am a genuine cortesan. And I am a dancer in the true sense."

About the event:

Lian Gouw, the publisher and president of Dalang Publishing will introduce Indonesian literature in translation
