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.

Man and Boy

1 review

A very hard look at the family dynamic between family members, not only father and son. I found it very difficult to read, but it was enlightening. A beautiful and often sad look ya divorce and custody. You find yourself feeling for each of the characters for different reasons...
Runaways Volume 3: The Good Die Young

1 review

I would say STAY AWAY from any version of Runaways in this 'mini manga' style of book. My sister bought me several of them for christmas and they all fell apart. Upon opening it can clearly be seen that the pages are not attached well and they will fall out. Replacement versions...

Absolutely lovely, romantic and amazing! I just love how the book can make you feel as if you're riding a roller-coaster. The characters are believable and great. Must read!!
He's Just Not That Into You -- The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys by Greg Behrendt

17 reviews

This was an amazing book! One that I have shared with many of my friends that I have seen in not so great relationship. The fact that it was a male who wrote the book you are able to realize how accurate his perspective is.

It was a really fantastic book! The relationship between Katy and Daemon was crazy yet sweet. So in love with the characters especially Daemon. This is one of my favourite series! I can't wait for book #5 Opposition to come out!!
The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared

2 reviews

It's ridiculous! It rapidly descends from sort of funny, to out-and-out bizarre. And on and on it goes.....for 400 agonizing pages! Alternating chapters chronicle Allan's life and Allan has had an interesting life, to say the least. He's met with numerous political leaders and...

Je suis en train de le lire, et c'est excellent, une belle imagination, des histoires à couper le souffle! Des mots, des mots, des mots!! Excellent à mon avis! On ne s'ennuie pas du tout!!
The Spark by Kristine Barnette

2 reviews

This is a must read for every mom who thinks it is the best job in the world. This book is so inspiring and motivating as a mother. I laughed, sobbed and was anxious to pick it up everyday. Kristine's "think outside the box" approach to parenting could be used by parents and...
Egghead: a book by Bo Burnham

1 review

This book is a collection of short poems, which i personally deem hilarious, but its not really something to be read all at once. This book has a great price and would be great as a stocking stuffer, or a gift for someone who just needs a laugh.

Really easy read on such a frustrating topic. Women who suffer from PCOS will appreciate the real world relation and tips.
We Were Liars

This book had so much hype surrounding it that I needed to buy it, that was a mistake. I hated this book! I thought it was so stupid. I can't get into it without spoiling the ending but I would not recommend it.
A Gesture Life

1 review

Very introspective read. Quite an intensive look at the relationships you form throughout life, and a very deep look into the end of life and death. Touches briefly and yet very profoundly on "comfort women" used by the Japanese army- a very controversial topic. You come to love...

I also love Lisa Jackson's books, I think I have read everyone she has written, even the new ones. I find her books keep you focused and interested till the end. I usually pick them up at the library or a yard sale.
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

10 reviews

This is such an amazing book. I couldn't put it down and was upset because I had to wait for the second one to be yet published. It's very enthralling and captivating.
The Butterfly - Kathryn Harvey

1 review

The Butterfly by Kathryn Harvey is an amazing book of "women power" - it is an older book I read about 20 years ago but I keep buying and re-reading it over and over - then leading it out to start all over again. It is a highly powerful, sexually charged book of love, lies...
Class Clown

1 review

Class Clown by Robert Munsch is a pretty horrible kids book. I can't believe I ever used to like his books. Class Clown basically says it's okay to not take anything seriously and to laugh it up in school instead of learning. I really did not like the message in this book.
Can You Keep A Secret? by Sophie Kinsella

16 reviews

What a hilarious adventure! Sophie Kinsella doing what she does best, making us laugh. You’ll be laughing out loud and enjoying the embarrassing moments that our dear heroine Emma has the misfortune to be a part of. A great read!
Moose!

1 review

Moose! is a children's book written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko. I recalled enjoying Robert Munsch books when I was younger. But reading this as an adult to my kid I am not impressed at all. The artwork is decent and seems like a cartoonist really...
The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen

1 review

PROS: Whimsical Another magical book from Sarah Addison Allen. This one definitely did not disappoint. If you have a sweet tooth and want a touch of mystery in your book, this is for you! The mix of romance and maagic, with lovely descriptions of the town and people - it really...
