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.

Belly Fat: Blowout Fat

1 review

What she states is simple and true - but more difficult to get into the habit of. "Good food, simple, healthy eating, and regular exercise." Sounds easy, right? Her program starts with a 3 day detox to force the body to start changing, and then reintroducing 3 meals and 2...

This is the third and final book in the trilogy by Cornelia Funke. It has also been translated to English from its native German. Though the first book was decent and the second one even better, I found the third to be quite boring. I did make my way through the entire thing...

I despise this show like there's no tomorrow, however, my daughter loves it. If you want to keep your sanity and stop your kid from learning to whine about everything...don't do it.
Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison Book by Piper Kerman

4 reviews

The WORST thing about this show is having to wait an entire year for the release of a new season. I can't be the only person who takes the entire day away when a new season is released just to binge watch until my eyeballs are dry and red. This show is insane, the character...
How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You

3 reviews

I got this as a Christmas gift about a year ago, and I laugh every time I read it. I own a cat and it seems so true at times, like when she wants your attention while on the computer, or sprints across the room for no real reason. It's a good gift for any cat owner.

Anne of the Island by Lucy M. Montgomery

I read every book in the Anne series, I couldn't get enough of the character. She was just so witty and unique, and it was a real pleasure to see her grow up into a wonderful woman. Definitely a Canadian classic!
The Twins

1 review

This is a very interesting stand alone book if you are looking for something to read. The book is about twins, one of whom has made a very successful life for herself and the other who is in rehab. The book talks about the girls childhood and the trauma that led each of the...
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum

2 reviews

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would, and perhaps it was because I was expecting an epic adventure instead of a children's book. The plot moved too slow for me, however that's because I wanted to explore the world and the characters more. It still was a nice...

1 review

A must have for any fan of the hit Series Bleach. This companion character book contains extra info on the characters, beautiful art and some never before seen chapters of the manga.
5th Wave

1 review

This novel is the definition of perfection. 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch...
Romeo and Juliet

4 reviews

I don't really like this story. Who in their right mind kill themselves because their loved ones were killed. I don't see the logic in it and I don't see the romance in it either. I could kill someone to protect my loved ones but not kill myself because they are dead. Now that...

The Stormchasers - Jenna Blum

I read part of this book, put it down and went a long time before I actually finished it. The book is about twins (one boy and one girl), the boy is Bipolar type 1. Most of the story line is about the sister actively trying to find her twin brother and telling the backstory...
Philadephia Cream Cheese Cookbook

3 reviews

This cookbook is in my collection and I love it. I've had it for a few years and every recipe that I've made from it was always delicious. I collect cookbooks and found this one at a garage sale for .25 cents. A great bargain for all the great recipes in it.
Jean Paré Company's Coming Cookies

3 reviews

This is the cookbook we used at home when I was young for all of our cookies. And it's the book I used to learn how to bake. And if you're looking for a good chocolate chip cookie - my all-time favourite is the Chocolate Chipper recipe!
Jean Paré Company's Coming 150 Delicious Squares

Excellent cookbook! I grew up in a house filled with the Company's Coming cookbooks, but this one is one of only about half a dozen that I bought for myself when i was living on my own. There's something for everyone and every occasion, with clear and concise directions and...
