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.

Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book

2 reviews

This is another great book by the famous Dr. Seuss. I have added it to my grandson's book collection and he loves to have me read it to him. It is a good story and gets kids in the mood for sleep. He is learning to read and some of the words are easy for him to sound out.

The Girl in the Mirror by Sarah Gristwood

1 review

This wasn't what I expected at all, and that would've been okay had I received something different to enjoy. Instead, I was confused and bored; I only read to the end because I didn't want to leave it unfinished. I didn't realize until a little bit in that there were multiple...

Super Sad, True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart

1 review

This book kind of reminded me of 1984. It's a witty, yet heartbreaking, dystopian love story. Shteyngart does a great job at really illustrating the characters and lets the reader really, really get to know them well. I also loved the plot setting (in general) and his witty...

Cavendon Hall by Barbara Taylor Bradford

1 review

This has to be the worst book I have ever read. I may not have read Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey, but I'm sure this is comparable to them. The writing is bad, the characters are bad, and the plot is just annoying. I made sure to take notes while I was reading so I could...
