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.

I look forward to my magazine every month. It has real life ideas that you can use in your own home. It always has a variety of design styles to meet many people's tastes. It's all Canadian and that makes me proud!

Wonderful book full of many words of wisdom. This is the type of book you want to read over and over. Keep it near you for those moments when you need some encouragement and want to learn more about God's word.

These cute little books come with a short story, about 10 figurines and a play mat for the figurines. My kids love these! They like reading the stories and okay for hours with the figurines and mats. I've seen them at Costco, Chapters/Indigo and school book orders. There are...
Bleach Vol. 28

1 review

Without spoiling too much, this volume of Bleach takes place in the World of the Hollows with the gang trying to infiltrate Las Noches. It has more of a cheerful feel to it this volume, with the much needed and appreciated addition of Rukia and my personal favourite, Renji. (...

I loved this book. It put the classic story of Cinderella into an interesting perspective. Really great read
Creoly Handmade Dark Suede Leather Refillable Journal

1 review

I'm divided on this notebook. On the one hand, the outside of the journal is a very nice suede cover, with a genuine working buckle, but the flipside is that the inside of the journal isn't very nice at all. The fabric used to line the inside is a cheap, ugly fabric that stands...
Blue Lightning (Shetland Island #4)

1 review

Another solid entry in Cleeves's Shetland Island mystery series. Fair Isle is a remote location in the Shetland Islands, in many ways better known to dedicated birdwatchers than any other group of people. I loved the smallness of the island and the dreary, rainy weather is the...
The Art of Up

This book is absolutely gorgeous. It goes over the different stages of animation of the film, the development of the characters, and the whole backstory. There are beautiful pictures throughout, and I go over it all the time.
Hark! A Vagrant

2 reviews

I'm a big history geek, and also love jokes, so when you combine those two together, you get Hark! A Vagrant. This book is definitely a keeper in my bookshelf! It's great for those late nights, giggling to yourself about inside jokes about things like Macbeth or Chopin! Check...

I have read almost all of her books and I love them all. I find her so inspirational. I just recently bought some of her audio books to listen to in my car
Against Nature by Joris-Karl Huysmans

1 review

I started reading this book because of the speculation that it is the book that Dorian Gray, in Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray", is influenced by. If that is the case I can see why it would've been so influential as the main character lives an extremely decadent...
The Color Purple

6 reviews

Such a heartfelt story. Hard to read in some parts, and definitely stays with you long after the book is read. It is a book that I would actually love to read again sometime.
Martha Stewart Living Magazine

5 reviews

Although you can find everything on the internet now, it's fun to sometimes take a magazine in your hands and relax over it with some coffee. I like this one because it has medium level ideas - not too simple, not too hard. Usually I manage to try at least one thing from the...
Perks of Being a Wallflower

3 reviews

I have read this book a few times now and bought it for many people. Its so good. Its just a book all young people should read at least once. Really touches on a lot of things. Very good coming of age book
taking charge of your fertility

This book is highly recommended for both people trying to have a baby, and those trying to prevent it. It provides a lot of information about cycles and reproductive health, and actually gives you step by step information on using your body's cycle as a way to know when to try...
Lorelei's Lyric

1 review

It took me a few chapters to get into the enchanting story of Lorelei the Mermaid and Vance/Vincent the emotionally spiralling Musician. But once their character development began, I was pleasantly surprised. Loreli is a young Mermaid of about half a millenium who is...

2 reviews

This is a really cool book for someone like me - I can't draw, but consider myself creative, and love to have a reason to experiment with new methods and new supplies. This book does not send you out with a large shopping list of expensive materials to buy in order to do the...
