Get on board for games on Saturday night at Here Be Books! Our theme this month is board games, so Scrabble, Life, Risk, Trivial Pursuit, and Aggravation are all in the game plan. (You‘re welcome to bring your own games if you want.)
Most of us are amateurs, just looking for ways to mix fun and friends with some light evening entertainment. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase at the store, but if you have an extra folding chair or two, we could use some extra seats. The more, the merrier - come join us!
Calling All Harry Potter Fans!
Tuesday, June 3, 2008, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, Lauren and Lena will perform songs inspired by the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling at Here Be Books.
20-year-old Lauren is a New Jersey native and member of The Moaning Myrtles. The Moaning Myrtles earned seven Wizard Rock People’s Choice Awards in the past two years and is one of the first and most successful female Wizard Rock bands in the genre. 19-year-old Lena is a music composition major from New York. Lena’s Wizard Rock band, The Butterbeer Experience, received Wizrocklopedia.com’s Best New Artist Award for 2008.
Don’t miss seeing these two award-winning female wizards as they tour the eastern U.S. this summer playing a combined set of their original Harry Potter music. Help them spread their love for books and music with other Harry Potter fans. Join us as we rock out and have some fun! A treat for the whole family.

We recently had a request by Jason, one of our customers, to start a book club. I’d been kicking the idea around for awhile, so quickly agreed.

Theme Still Under Consideration
Jason, Rachael and I, the only 3 members so far, have discussed the following themes/names:
- Eclectic Reader’s Book (ERB) Club: anything goes.
- Movie and a Book (MAB or MAAB) Club: we watch a movie, then read the book it was based on, or vice-versa. This would cover all sorts of genres, from historical to sci-fi to thrillers…
- Any ____ Genre (I’m trying to get Arrgh or Arr or Arrg - you know, to go with the bookstore’s theme)
Any ideas? Clearly we’re going for an eclectic selection of books from all genres, including: sci fi/fantasy, general fiction, mystery, thriller, historical, etc.
Interested in joining? Give us a call (Tina or Rachael) at Here Be Books. (843) 695-1498. You can also register for an account and post a comment to this blog post as well to share your ideas.
Right now all of our computer books are on sale for 50% of the marked price. That’s right, all in-store computer books in stock are 50% off!
Great way to pick up books on a variety of computer and programming subjects on the cheap.
Are you an author? Would you like to hold a book signing?
Bring in a copy of your book and let’s talk about it.
