We Love You, Bunny is the sequel that everyone is reading—and indie booksellers can’t stop talking about it, either. Read what bookseller Andree Bizier from Window Seat Books in Nanaimo, BC had to say about this unhinged new read.
![[The weirdo book I will be recommending the most in this season! I never imagined that there would be a follow up to the grossly fun Bunny, and now that there is. I can't wait to see how nasty the Bunnies are going to get!]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cmea7fw6o7m7xxu635kx3my2/bafkreiaad3h6us5uuypdprrnygv7zprp4yp25c22xhfpcmetgiq2ebwozi@jpeg)

![[A dark and tender novel about family and history, this book starts with a bang and never slows down. The Witch of Willow Sound does a great job accurately depicting the folklore, dialect, and superstitions of Nova Scotians, but never looks away from the darker aspects of our province's history. This gothic novel subtly peels back layers of secrets both public and private.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cmea7fw6o7m7xxu635kx3my2/bafkreia3njawtrt5pez7ud364iuzomydqoreyyka2z6mzsupag2nlnbjvu@jpeg)
