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 Giffin. He's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

I really enjoyed my stay with these books. I have now read both series and have recommended them to friends and family. They are a great read and a great time away from reality.

One of my favourite, all time novel. Bill Bryson is the funniest writer I've ever had the pleasure of reading. This one is even better if you have travelled or live in the UK. This book is so hilarious that I find it embarrassing to read it in public- due to my out loud laughing...

Such an impressive collection of stories. I have a huge interest in nursing, and this really spoke to me. Some of the true stories will stay with me forever. Very personal and emotional writing. An excellent compilation of vulnerably, caring, and suffering.

I remember reading this series years and years ago and liking them when I first read them. After awhile they all seemed to follow the same pattern with the same characters but different names. Feehan is one of those authors that barely changes the names and storylines, fills it...

Im a huge Bryson fan- and this novel doesn't disappoint with hilarious situations and remarks by the author. I just can't get enough of his style of writing- sarcastic, dry, witty as can be. Every book is a fun read that leaves me in bouts of laughter.

Not usually an Atwood fan but this book was a refreshing, modern book with a grown up feel. Its a grown up book to counter the dystopian novel genre that has been overrun by young adult writers.

I'm a huge fan of Lurlene McDaniel and almost 30 years later, I still look for her latest book once it's released.
