To all of you who buy books at Barnes and Noble while sipping on your $23.00 dollar coffee struggling with finding things and zombie-like best seller seekers; there's a new player in town. The Reader's Cove and Half Moon Bay Coffee Company are now open. The store is located off of Harmony and Lemay, right next to Ace Hardware.
The bookstore and coffee shop are locally owned, so when you spend that hard earned cash on your morning latte, you're actually putting money back into the community instead of making Seattle rich. Plus the bookstore is Carribean themed, complete with a Pirate ship that houses the childern section, bright colors and of course, plenty of plush furniture.
The Reader's Cove is the only bookstore besides the B&N giant in FoCo. B. Dalton was bought out by B&N, and if you buy your books at Wal-Mart, I have nothing but pity for you.
In addition, The Reader's Cove plans on promoting local author's, and have display signs up for invitation to any up and coming Faulkner's, or not. Author signings, palm trees, and free membership, what's not to love?

A Carribean themed bookstore? I am so there! You will probably find me near the Pirate ship. That is so cool. Thanks for the tip. | Sounds cool..

What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
