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.

Wake: A Watersong Novel by Amanda Hocking

2 reviews

So I have been hearing a lot about John Green and how awesome he is, but honestly, I wasn’t impressed. I really had to push myself to get into this book and to finish it. I couldn’t connect with the characters or the story. Well, if you could even call that a story. I...

I loved David Rocco's first cookbook Dolce Vita so I had to buy this one too. There are a lot of great, easy recipes in here and the photography is more gorgeous than ever. Some favourites for me are the pizza recipes including an easy thin crust dough, the Zabaglione Con...

The Singles

1 review

This book is written by Meredith Goldstein. I actually liked this book more than I thought I would. It's centred around a weekend wedding and the singles who attend it. It isn't a must-read, page turner but it's good, light hearted story with good characters. It's also a really...
The Jane Austen Marriage Manual

1 review

This book is a fun, satisfying summer read, perfect for the beach. I'm a big Jane Austen fan so I was pretty happy to see the references to Austen too. I won't go too into the plot but the basic synopsis is this: a woman, on the verge of her 40th birthday, suddenly loses...

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

6 reviews

This book is such easy reading and Charmaine Harris is a good writer. I read this book in an hour as I could not put it down. The books are way better than the TV series which was made for an adult audience. This book as well as the others are made for teenage reading but I as...

Prey Series by John Sandford

1 review

I’ve love the Prey novels by John Sandford since I picked the first book up at the book bin for $2 years ago. Yes it was a used old copy, but the story just grabbed me and took me away from the first page. The whole Prey series revolves around this very smart, cute detective...
