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.

The story is so entrancing with beautiful artwork to boot. I like the take on political wars that is alluded to with the series, they make you think without being too in your face. The bounty hunters are, by far, my favourite characters with their attitudes and situations,

Sanctum (#2) by Madeleine Roux

1 review

While this book was slightly better than the first of the series, it definitely wasn't worth even a star more. The author really has a stereotypical way of describing people and it's so ridiculous that the characters are pretty one-sided in a 'I'm such a smart nerd no one...
