For today and today only you can buy the entire Maeve Kerrigan series for the price of a paperback on Kindle. A one-off never-to-be-repeated opportunity. Tell a friend if you've already read them! Tell several!

Only 1day until @BethMorrey's new book publishes! It's our favourite book to feature sweet rabbit on the cover and in the book. 🐰We asked Beth to recommend other books featuring unusual animals. Take a look at her recommendations on @bookshop_org_uk: uk.bookshop.org/lists/books-…?
