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.

squawking chicken

This toy is hilarious!! It sounds like the chicken is screaming it's head off!! I bought it for a gag gift, and it was a hit! It is fun but, if noisy toys bother you then this toy may get on your nerves rather quickly!! Kids love to squeeze it over and over..SO YOU'VE BEEN...
Freaks and Revelations by Davida Wills Hurwin

1 review

This book tells two tales of two seemingly separate lives. Just wait until the ending. My mind was absolutely BLOWN. I could not put this book down. Hurwin did an excellent job at making these characters seem so real - that said, the majority of the book is fiction, but the...

A great thesaurus and a must have for high school students who can't access their phones in class, for everyone else it's a bit redundant when you can use the internet... Still in certain situations it's useful and Roget's is one of the best brands for Thesaurus' and...

Mating Rituals of the North American WASP by Lauren Lipton

2 reviews

I was a bit surprised that I liked this book so much. I found it for cheap somewhere so I picked it up and didn't read it for a while. It was a different story that I'm used to reading. Most chick lit novels tend to be basically the same but this was a bit different. The...

P.S. I Love You By Cecelia Ahern

I had watched the movie first and then read the book (usually don't do this in that order). I prefered the book so much more. I was really able to get into the story and empathize with the characters. A very easy read.

Lauren Conrad Style

1 review

Not a bad book for people who are starting to explore fashion. Covers the essentials from a typical day to glamming up at a party. It's a very easy & fast read, but would be nicer if it had more pictures. Personally, I think it's a little too basic in terms of exploring unique...
A Single Breath by Lucy Clarke

1 review

Lucy Clarke's second book, A Single Breath, is a MUST READ! It is an incredible story that gripped me so emotionally, just as her first, Swimming at Night (Sea Sisters in some countries) did. She is an incredible writer and I can't wait for book #3!
Gordon Ramsay's Cooking for Friends - Cookbook

Very similar to the Sunday Lunch cookbook, presents each meal as a three course offering. Wide variety of dishes, meat, fish, veg and dessert. Recipes are not complex and easy to follow.

In a Sunburned Country- Bill Bryson

I thought this was a fantastic book. I read this book after I had been to Australia and thought if I had known before how many dangerous creatures were native to the country I might have changed my mind :) For me they were a lot of laughs out loud moments---but that might be...

This is such a useful book to lovingly preserve your family history. Each section is assigned to chronicle your genealogical information. It is a work in progress book that gives you the opportunity to reach out to family members and learn your rich family history. An elegant...
The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern

3 reviews

Such a gorgeously descriptive novel! In the beginning I felt the story was slightly slow, however by the time I got to the last few pages I didn't want this book to end. I absolutely wish I could live within The Night Circus, the aesthetic is beautiful.
