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.

When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage—alive—is making headlines across the globe. Even more strange is that her body is...

Picture There’s often a definite separation between what people call Historical Romance and what they call Historical Fiction. “Historical Romance” as a genre is usually painted all with the same brush, and the expectation is for illicit love affairs, violations of salon...

Picture This is my kind of book. I was asked to review this as a Historical Romance, but “Redemption on the River” by Loren DeShon (self-published) is more along the lines of Historical Adventure, rich with multi-dimensional characters, an exciting journey, and amazingly...

My husband kept telling me to read this book. For years and I kept putting it off. Well, I finally read it and it's amazing! Far better than I could've anticipated. This is a wonderful fantasy - imaginative, great characters and story, inventive. Can't wait to read the rest of...

I use to be a huge Anne Rice fan when I was a teenage but then stopped reading her books when she became a born again Christian and started to only write about Jesus etc. (No judgment to anyone who believes, likes it. It's just not for me) And I was disappointed to hear her...

I understand the hype around the book, but as a woman who worked in corporate Canada and now as a stay at home mother, the message of this book does not resonate with me.

I found this book by Maria Semple to be a bit of a wild ride. Over the top at times, perhaps, but still relatable somehow. Maybe it was just the way 'Bernadette' made me and my neurosis seem mild, almost normal. :) It was fun, it was weird, it was redeeming. If you've got...

This adorable ebook for iPad is really fun and interactive. The British voice narrating and voicing the characters is highly enjoyable to listen to. There is a lot to click on and move with this book, which is the 3rd for Ink Robin. My toddler LOVES this. He loves clicking on...

The idea of running away with the circus definitely appeals sometimes - especially when your own life has turned into one - but Gruen's gritty, real account of that life in "Water for Elephants" is enough to make me tuck in and contain myself to watching Cirque on tv. Scariest...

At the onset of this story I was getting rather bored and debated about just stopping. Thankfully I continued on, as it got better later on. At some parts I literally chuckled, ie. the hot air balloon project hehe. I have read other books of hers as well, and they are all just...

Nineteen eighty-four is a classic book and is worth the hype. i read the book for an assignment and it became a favourite instantly. it is a very mind opening read and can really make you see things in a new light.

I own this series and I've read it a couple of times! My absolute favourite of Stephen King's books. (With the Stand a close second!) I did find the Gunslinger took awhile to get into, but after that, the next books I flew through them. Wonderful writing and draws you right...

I recently saw these at a party and had to try them myself. They are so cute and make for a wonderful decoration pieces! The only downside to this brand is the cost in comparison to others but worth it overall.

If you like a light read, chick-lit, or are a fan of the Shopaholic series then you will truly love this book! This is one of the only books that I actually like to re-read! This book will have you chuckling to yourself the whole way through! I think this is may be Sophie's...

I know this isn't a recent work but I have read it for the first time in the past 3 months. I think I am already quite aware of some of the ways in which the fast food industry works. I also like to read up on the things that are in my food, etc. But this book still blew my...

At first I wasn't too sure about this series as it seemed very daunting to read about children killing children but I fell in love with this series and this book. The courage that is shown by the characters in this book are riveting and it allows the author to show how people...
