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.

Controversial, well-researched and well-written intriguing, captivating book about issues relating to religion and human rights that affect us today, just as they affected us thousands of years ago. Every religious and non-religious person should read this book. The author uses...

OK, where do I begin. . .I met Jeanine at a conference in Miami. She was a speaker, and quite the showman. She had us laughing and smiling and thinking... I purchased her book right then and there. Industry In:Site covers every "job" in The Beauty Feild. Literally, everything...

You wouldn't think that Steve Martin would be an exceptional writer, but he is! Once I read one of his books, I had to go out and try to find them all. They are all wonderful! Start with this one. He has a writing style all his own, like your best friend is sharing a story...

Every time I get into a Weiner novel, I think that I'm not really going to enjoy it, but then I end up loving them! So far everything I have read of hers has been fantastic "chick-lit" wise. I would have to say however, my least favorite would be Goodnight Nobody.
Undead and UnWed

Easy reading and another great novel to be read that is part of the series of books. From the moment I opened this book to read, I did not put it down until the very end. I read this book in an hour, it was so good just like the rest of the books. The series of novels would...

I am a huge Debbie Macomber fan, and this book was awesome. I love her writing, and this book was no exception.
Coventry by Helen Humphreys

1 review

This is a wonderful book. At under 200 pages, it is almost a novella, but it is utterly engaging. It speaks to the horror of war, but also the strength of friendship between women. I did not want it to end, but had to keep reading.

For those who need to get their finances in order then I definitely recommend this book. It is such an easy read. Compared to other financial books, it was surprisingly easy to understand and it's made a huge impact on my life. I had bought this book back when I was 25...

I started reading this book "the edge of devine" by Sandi Patty earlier this summer. Reading the description of it it was described as a book who inspired wommen to try the life and choices we make. To find our inner peace and a sence of independence. I did not find this to be...
The Almost Archer Sisters-Lisa Gabriele

1 review

This is such a sister book! It does deal with heavier issues, but it's good for anyone with a sibling relationship. It's the type of relationship that is hard to put into words, but Gabriele does in this book. You also get a taste of the glamourous world of New York city...

The Shop on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber

1 review

I have never read any other Debbie Macomber books but this one was recommended to me, and I know she is a bestseller author so I gave it a try (I was only hesitant because it seems like the kind of drugstore paperback that I would normally avoid). It was a nice light read. The...

I love this book!!! I talk about it all the time...ok, not ALL the time, but I have bought about 10 copies over the years and have given it as a gift to many of my woodsie (and some anit-woodsy) friends. Everyone loves the humour and wit - the info is great! It makes perfect...

Diary of an Exercise Addict

I am in recovery from an Eating Disorder and this subject matter is very close to me. I believe there is a need for people who suffer from this disease to speak up about their illness - to educate people, but more importantly, to share with others who are still...

If you have ever had a family pet, this book is for you! It is such a touching and realistic story of how much of an impact a pet has in a family. I think it is one of the only books i have laughed and cried outloud for!
Switchcraft

Switchcraft was a very enjoyable light read about two friends who magically switch lives for a month. It was interesting to read about how the girls adjusted to the lifestyles they thought were perfect while learning to appreciate what they already have. While reading...

Candy Everybody Wants

I got this book before the publishing date to review, and really enjoyed it. It is fiction, but is written in a memoir style. It chronicles a gay teen who desperately wants to be famous and his journey to the top and his struggles to stay there. The story and feel is similar to...
