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.

How Should a Christian Live?

How Should a Christian Live? Word of Promise Next Generation Devotional This book was provided to me free of charge by the BOOKsneeze program. I found that this book would be great for young teenagers for several reasons. The first thing that was great was the cover. It is...
Permission Slips by Sherri Shepherd

Permission Slips: Every Woman’s Guide to Giving Herself a Break by Sherri Shepherd with Laurie Kilmartin I have been a fan of Sherri Shepherd for quite some time. I have probably watched every television show and movie she has ever been in. Below is a brief listing of her...
Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth

1 review

I recommend this book to every pregnant woman out there. Most books about pregnancy just scare you with all the things that can go wrong. This book is funny and refreshing and makes you realize you should be enjoying pregnancy (and all the crazy things that come with it) instead...
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell

1 review

The Tipping Point is an incredible book, very insightful on how small things can make a big difference. I'm still reading it and I'm already looking at the world differently! Malcolm takes ideas and moments in history and examines how things tip and become an epidemic...
I'll Have Who She's Having by Liz Fenton

5 reviews

This is a great book if you're looking for a fun light read. I found it was very easy to get in to because the characters felt very real. Most people can probably relate with one of the two main characters, or relate to bits of both of them. Definitely one of the better...
The Heart Mender by Andy Andrews

1 review

The Heart Mender is an amazing book! It brings us into the lives of these amazing people both from today, and the 1940's. While we learn about these amazing people, we also learn about their challenges in their lives, and how to forgive those that even at the time don't...
Power of Now Eckhart Tolle

2 reviews

The Power of Now is meant to be a guide to spiritual enlightenment. After finishing the novel do I feel enlightened?? Yes and No. Some parts of the novel really resonated with me. It presented a different perspective which opened my mind up with new techniques of dealing with...
Heir to Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier

1 review

I read the first books in the Sevenwaters Trilogy and loved them. I was delighted when I found a sub-series to go with it. I am over half way through the book and it takes a lot out of me not to just sit down and finish it....books are my passion.
Backseat Saints by Joshilyn Jackson

1 review

I am a fan of Joshilyn Jackson and really enjoyed reading her other works (Gods in Alabama, Between , Georgia and The Girl Who Stopped Swimming). I am a huge fan of southern literature and southern authors so her work is right up my alley. That being said, I was rather...
Little Altars Everywhere by Rebecca Wells

1 review

This book is of the same author who wrote "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood," which I read last summer and adored. The Ya-Ya characters return in "Little Altars Everywhere," however the book is a compilation of short stories rather than one whole story. Despite this...
Shopaholic Ties The Knot

6 reviews

These books are so funny & cute! Easy reads - the first book is by far the best in series - but the rest are still very good and such easy reads! Try and find them in a second hand store and you will be happy!

No matter how much we try to baby-proof our house, accidents will happen. Unless our babies are attached to us 24/7, we can't always control what they do or play with. How prepared are you for serious baby emergencies? I did take a CPR class years ago, but how do I know that...
The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

2 reviews

I saw the author on Oprah years ago and loved his message...very powerful. Then I bought the book for afriend for her birthday because she's into these kinds of genres. Yet, I had still not read it. Then I finally borrowed it from the library. I was tearing up all throughout...
Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs

4 reviews

Oh man, this has GOT to be one of my favorite books of all time! Burroughs has such a talent for writing, the reader is drawn in from page one, and he really makes his writing come alive. While extremely graphic, and certinally not suitable for anyone under the age of at least...
Saint by Ted Dekker

Ugh, and I mean that about the tear jerker! Had to read through the tears but so are most beautifully written and inspiring stories. Amazing how words can really pull on the heart strings. Wonderful book.

The Wife's Tale by Lori Lansens

1 review

I received an Advance Reading Copy of the latest Lori Lansens novel, The Wife's Tale. If you have read her previous bestseller, The Girls, then you will already know Lansens' talent for the written word. If you are new to this author, I only have excellent things to say...

I loved this book. For those of you who are fans of chick lit or Brit lit, its a must read. Husband says he's fallen in love, leaves his wife and 2 young boys and drives into a tree. Due to the 2nd mortgage her husband had taken out, Jo is forced to relocate and start...
Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger

4 reviews

Everyone Worth Knowing wasn't as good as The Devil Wears Prada, but it still had its moments for sure! EWK isn't as detailed as DWP, but you still got enough story for sure. Note: Chasing Harry Winston was dreadful - you can see that this author has been rushed in her...
