It’s Free Friday! Every Friday, Barnes and Noble offers a Nook Book for free. These are often a way for you to get acquainted with a ‘new to you’ author. But you have to act quick because they often are available for only a day or two before they go back to full price!
Today you can pick up ‘Pets In A Pickle’ by Malcolm Welshman. This looks like a fun ‘animal’ story written by a vet and based on his experiences. You can see reader reviews at Goodreads, where the book rates 3.68 stars. Here is the synopsis from Goodreads.
Drawing on his own experiences of working as a vet, Malcolm Welshman brings to life a wealth of colorful characters—including the formidable practice receptionist, Beryl, with her one steely eye—and an ark's worth of marvelous animals. As enchanting as it is funny, this wonderful story will delight any animal fan. When Paul Mitchell arrives for his first day's work at Prospect House Veterinary Hospital, he never expects this. On his very first day, he is bitten by a feisty hamster, but this is a mere prelude to a cavalcade of hilarious—and often painful—encounters with fish, flesh, and fowl. From stalking a feral cat to rescuing a cow stuck in a gravel pit, life is never short of animal adventures for the newly qualified vet. On top of treating all manner of creatures at the practice, Paul and his girlfriend Lucy also nurse a host of waifs and strays back to health at their home. Besides six budgerigars, two love birds, a hoard of guinea pigs, and three tabby cats, their menagerie includes Gertie the Goose, whose talent for house security saves her from the Christmas Day table, and Nelson, their lovable—and stone deaf—Jack Russell.
You can pickup your copy now, but hurry; it may not be free for long.
