Books Reviews

Curling up with a good book is a favourite year-round pursuit: in front of a blazing fire in January, in the park under a warm May sun, in a hammock lake-side in July or with coffee on the back porch overlooking brilliant fall foliage.

ChickAdvisor members love light reads like the wildly popular Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella or the more introspective romances of Emily GiffinHe's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

These magazines are great if you just want to waste some time, the magazine is aesthetically organized, although I find that the advertisements and pictures overwhelm the whole aspect of the magazine: the articles. Although, there's still a bunch of great stuff in the magazine...
Everything I Never Told You, by Celeste Ng

2 reviews

This is the story of a Chinese-American family losing their 15-year-old daughter/sister. It's also a story about racism, and a story about a mixed family trying to fit into a community and, sadly of all.... a family who fails to communicate with each other. It's well-written and...

Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures: Stories

Really loved this book, especially being a health sci kid, really gives you a very intimate and inside look into the brains of medical professionals. I never realized how the profession would have such a strong mental impact on doctors/surgeons. A wonderful and chilling novel.

The Walking Dead Comic Series

The Walking Dead graphic novels are just that, GRAPHIC! They are amazing, I actually prefer the story line in them, than the tv show. They are just more, well graphic, and very intense. Also the artwork is really cool.

Black Beauty

8 reviews

I really got upset at this book when I was younger. Even though this is supposed to be a children's classic, it deals with pretty heavy themes early on, such as death. But the overall story is pretty great, Black Beauty's journey is certainly an amazing one.

Gone With the Wind (1936)

One of the best stories ever written. The book is so much more detailed than the movie. I love everything southern so this story makes me very happy. Scarlett and Rhett may be the best characters in literature. I look forward to seeing the movie every year.
Plague by C.C Humphreys

Disclaimer: I received this book for free as part of a Goodreads Giveaway. While this wasn't a tough read, it wasn't a particularly enjoyable one, either. At least Captain Cook and Dickson were fun characters to follow, and though I didn't care much for the plot at least I...
The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Writings: Poems, Tales, Essays, and Reviews by Edgar Allan Poe

1 review

This gets 3 stars only because of Poe's mastery of writing. I can't comment on the poetry because I'm not educated in that area, and the essays because they didn't interest me in the slightest so I skimmed through them, but the stories themselves weren't particularly enjoyable...
