The Silent Book Club in Potchefstroom will soon be hosting Alecia Blackberry, author of The FBQ: Firefly: Book 1. Members and curious visitors alike can look forward to a short reading from the book, followed by the chance to chat with the author and grab a pamphlet for a bit more insight.
About the Book
The FBQ: Firefly: Book 1, released on 15 May 2025, follows four high school friends once considered “eccentric” by their peers. Years later, they’ve each achieved a reasonable degree of success, the kind that looks good on paper but still leaves room for old secrets, shared history and perhaps a little unresolved mischief.
The Reading
Blackberry will be sharing a three-minute extract from her novel. The brevity should suit even those who prefer their literary experiences in bite-sized form, and it might just leave a few people scribbling the title down for later.
When and Where
The event is happening on 16 August 2025 at 13:00, hosted at Cuppa Caffe. The Silent Book Club promises its usual mix of quiet reading, gentle conversation, and the occasional raised eyebrow over a plot twist.
Alecia Blackberry, who has managed to balance creativity and storytelling with a sharp eye for character quirks, will be the club’s special guest for the day. The format is informal, so expect a relaxed afternoon rather than a formal lecture, just the way Silent Book Club regulars like it.
