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.

INCREDIBLE BOOK! If you're at all interested in WW2, the army, history, or just want a good read, pick this up! The other reviewer gave a very good overview so I won't go into too much detail, except to say that this book is incredibly well written for a war novel and tells a...

There are three books so far in the Abarat series which is written and illustrated by Clive Barker. It's a fantasy story aimed at young adults unlike a lot of Barker's work. The story takes place on the Abarat which is a archipelago consisting of 25 islands. One island for each...

My mother in-law gave me this book to read and loved it as much as she does; she treasures it almost like it’s a part of her own family history. The Donnelley Must Die gives you a full account of the Donnelly family from the time they arrived in Canada from Ireland in 1840...

I read this book in my early twenties, and it was really good! A light read about how different men and women are from each other, and how to understand and communicate with one another.

This was a fantastic book that exposed a lot of the misconceptions that the world has about Christians and the hypocrisies that Christians often portray in society. I was blown away by Donald Miller's style of writing and I was hooked on this book until the very end. I am...

An amazing biography of a very strong woman who has been through hell and back. By "hell" I mean the death of her mother, foster care, prostitution, drug abuse, homelessness, and the list goes on. I could not imagine what it must be like to walk in her shoes. This is an...

I received this book years ago for free along with some other books I had ordered. I love having this book in my home, it’s a must have for anyone because we all have to clean and there’s always something that we have no idea how to clean, or what is the right way to go...

This book has great financial advice for pretty much your entire life. It's cheeky and fun to read - especially considering the subject matter, which can be a bit dry. I actually think they could have split this up into a series of several books, but being the financial wizards...

I purchased this book for my brother to read to my niece and nephew and for them to enjoy as they grow older. The reasons that I chose this book are because the story is almost totally comprised of words that start with a "W". This makes the book, when read aloud, like a giant...

Although some of you may recognise the name Lonesome Dove as a television show, or even as a movie, it was a great novel first. Lonesome Dove was written by Larry McMurtry back in the eighties and quickly became one of the most love cowboy, adventure, action, love stories of all...

Ok, not a typical review, but it's something I rave about. ID magazine obviously is a magazine not a book. It's a relatively new magazine out on stands, I had originally bought the very first issue for my boyfriend, who loved it. Well, I am a voracious reader of everything:...

This book is the modern day retelling of Helen of Troy, it's such a fascinating read that right after I finished it I started researching more about Helen of Troy. Josephine Angelini is the first author to try her hand at this story since the origins of the tale in the first...

This Memoir was very interesting. I like the honest perspective she gives and she makes it clear that even after becoming "free" there is still struggles to deal with and not everything is roses and butterflies. It is a true and honest memoir - so while she may not be the...

I have been buying America's Test Kitchen magazines for a few years now and have branched out to the cookbooks as well. I decided to buy this one as it contains 2,000 recipes! Anything you can think of is contained in this cookbook and I have yet to make anything that...

I love Tina Fey- she is hilarious so of course I love this book. It’s such a great book full of humour, words of wisdom and much more. I love all of her stories and her take on life. Must read for sure.
