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.

My favorite classic novel is Romeo and Juliet and than I came across this novel that was passed down to me from my older sister. Oh my God this is by far my favorite all time classic novel. The love affair between Catherine and Heathcliffe is electrifying and their undying love...

I am the hugest fan of Chantel's first book Stuck in Downward Dog!!! so it was with huge excitement that I dug into Love Struck. I am not disclosing any spoilers that are not already on the back cover. I love the premise of the book - a young "with it" image consultant finds...

I loved all of the shopaholic books. They were SO funny - a nice, light read that always made me chuckle. The scenarios in this book were especially funny though. I'd read it again.

This book is HILARIOUS! Have you ever wondered what happens when the "other woman" gets her man, only to decide she wants to give him back? This novel is witty, engaging and full of little twists and turns! For lovers of "chick lit" and those who enjoy a British sense of humour...

Since I work in a library I get all my material there, but the sale price is pretty good at chapters. Especially since the movie will be out soon (which I cannot wait to see). The book starts out with a young white girl who feels unloved by her father. When her nanny, a black...

I recently finished reading "Friday Night Knitting Club" by Kate Jacobs for my book club. This soon-to-be-a-Julia Roberts-movie was a very light, interesting read. I hesitated at first, due to the title (it gave me visions of rocking chairs and itchy sweaters) , but as you...

My book club decided to read this book this month after having been sent a copy from one of my favourite blogs. Three girls showed up for our monthly meeting and we were left with so many questions. Even after printing out a suggested book club list of questions we kept coming...

When I was younger I absolutely loved these books. The story telling is unique in a way that it's like a friend meeting you on the playground telling you what happened to them or a friend of a friend. I loved the drawings though while simple seemed to convey the emotion and...

This is the most gorgeous cook book I've ever had. David Rocco is apparently on the Food Network, but I hadn't heard about him or this book until I discovered it at Chapters. Between the fact that it is recipes from Tuscany and the gorgeous pictures on every page, I...

Absolutely loved this incredible book. A story about a young fourteen year old girl who was murdered, interestingly told from her perspective afterwards. Definitely a compelling read, and a realistic view of what families go through after dealing with a loss in the family.

This book was featured for the ChickAdvisor Book Club recently. The story switches between late WWII and the early 1950s in Hong Kong, a tale of secrets, betrayal, survival, and the loss of innocence. The title suggests that the piano teacher, Claire, is the main character...

I am simply in-love with Brit-Lit, and was so happy to find a well written series. And now I am in-love with the 1920's sensibilities and lifestyle! The dialogue is just too too frightfully fascinating! The writing is excellent, the stories are good (and I can't seem...

I'm not a big fan of sci-fi, but this book was a great read for me! I loved the whole concept of the society, that people can make themselves "beautiful", it really makes you question what can be defined as beautiful. A great dystopian novel!

This book was originally written under Anonymous, which is what caught my attention in the first place! It's quite hard to find and a girlfriend had to order our copies from amazon (and they only had used copies since they no longer publish the book to be sold in stores!) It...

"A novel about drinks, dating and other distractions" is the tagline for Sarah Mlynowski's chick lit novel. This is the perfect read for any girl in her 20s who is looking for a light read with relatable characters who go through first apartments and boyfriends, roommates...

This book is unbelievably hilarious. My sister bought it for me for Christmas because she thought I would enjoy it, and I have to say it was an excellent choice. It tells the story of Kit and her best friend Mel who are both 30 somethings living in downtown Toronto. They have...
