with authors<br />

Community members and authors came together when Exclusive<br />

Books Bedford Centre and Get it hosted its first Big Book Club Bash.<br />

The evening was filled with laughs as fans of Chasing Marian had the<br />

opportunity to interact with their favourite authors Amy Heydenrych,<br />

Pamela Power, Gail Schimmel and Qarnita Loxton. Guests were<br />

presented with gift bags, treated to a glass of wine and were able to<br />

enjoy a light meal as they browsed the store waiting for the event<br />

to start. Exclusive Book’s general manger Batya Bricker said one of<br />

the hardest hit casualties of Covid-19 and its restrictions were book<br />

clubs. Keeping the audience entertained was Mix FM’s Lundi Khoisan,<br />

the interlocular for the evening, as she engaged with the authors<br />

throughout the evening.<br />
