Tails & Tales Adult Summer Reading 2021: Weekly Book Reviews

 



Enjoy this week's adult patron book reviews submitted through the Tails & Tales Adult Summer Reading Challenge. Don't forget that for every week you read, the Worcester Public Library Foundation will donate to the Worcester Animal Rescue League! We've reached our goal of $100 each week since Summer Reading started, so keep logging those books and help us reach our goal of $1,000 donated by the end of summer! Kid & teen readers count too, so it's something the whole family can do!

Saving the Ghost of the Mountain by Sy Montgomery 

The snow leopard has long been my favorite animal, after my dog Bridget, of course. Sy Montgomery is a naturalist who has researched many animals around the world. In this book, she describes the challenges of learning more about this elusive creature.  ~ Sharon D.
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah 

I felt very immersed into this amazing historical fiction saga. I learned so much about those war years and how people truly sacrificed, at a very high cost, thinking only of others and not themselves. This could apply to our present situation -in our own country and amongst ourselves! ~ Jane O. 

Ferrets by Dr. Wendy Winsted

I had to read this book 3 times. There were so many cute ferret pictures to distract me, but totally worth the read! You can tell the author really cares about these little cuddle bugs.
~ Elaine C.





This is a good summer read. It has adventure and a good moral to the story. It is a YA book but I really enjoyed it. ~ Joan M.
