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.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

This is an unpopular opinion for most people, but I adored this book. I just loved that it picked up where things left off, everything made sense, it was consistent, and it didn't drag on to the good part. This book picked up quickly, and that's what I liked about it. There...

I read this in English but didn't feel the need to make a new listing. I got this book from a sale table, I was quickly intrigued by the description and decided to get it. I already enjoy the idea of grim reapers in some other books and tv shows, so I thought it'd be a fun...

Dictionnaire médical Larousse

J'ai reçu ce livre suite à la naissance de ma fille. C'est un bon livre qui explique les maladies, leur cause, leur traitement dans un langage vulgarisé. C'est un bon moyen de s'informer, et expliquer aux enfants les maladies qui nous entourent.
