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.

Florey's Books welcomes Sharon Caren of Sharon the Health.

***Wednesday, April 17th, 6:45-8:30pm***

From Sharon:

Déjà vu or Past Life Experiences?

Have you ever had things happen that you can’t seem to explain?
Serendipitous some may say. Many believe there is more to this life than meets the eye!
If you’d like to hear more about where souls originated and connect with your souls unique gifts, come join me.

This is an interactive exploration of connecting with the deepest part of you, your Soul.
Here you’ll find your true essence and purpose. Become empowered!

In 2002, my mother died after an18 month illness. I had a sense that she was in trouble in the non-physical.
I was led to Akashic Record Soul Clearing work and able to help my mother in the non-physical.
This work has changed my life and those around me.

This treasure hunt excursion will mimic the “great race” where teams compete against each other for some terrific gifts and cash prizes.

Let’s see if you can identify unique landmarks and answer historical questions about our town.

Teams will be given a list of businesses and other destinations, and the trick is to see how quickly your team can get from place to place, correctly answer trivia questions and make it back before other teams.

"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.
