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.

If you are pregnant for the first time, you need to buy this book. Heck, if you are going for #2 you should pick it up too. Vicki Iovine's Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy is a hilarious and still very informative read for every woman wondering what to expect while gestating...

This is the girly girl's guide to practically everything from what kind of shoes and stockings you should wear for various occasions to learning to play poker. The writing style is witty and light with plenty of good laugh out loud moments but then some other parts you'll...

Great read. Much like Davinci Code. The biggest difference is that the characters are younger, so the voice is less mature. Four undergraduate roommates are drawn into the obsession of one of them, understanding the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili. History, action, adventure...

"Shapes" is one of four titles in Gymboree's newest board book series for preschoolers (other titles are "Alphabet", "Colors", and "Numbers"). In the same fun and colorful style as other Gymboree books it teaches children about 10 basic geometric shapes, including examples from...

I read this book several years ago and loved it so much. I love all Candace Bushnell, she's awesome! I live by a quote from this book "life isn't worth living, unless you have the best it has to offer"!!!!

Gymboree's line of educational activity books includes this musical set, which carries the subtitle "Inspired Ways to Explore Music". That sums up this book perfectly. It is a colorful 30-page board book filled with suggestions for exploring music in its many forms with your...

This Max & Ruby board book is part of a newly released series featuring characters from the popular TV series and original books by Rosemary Wells. The TV show is very popular with preschoolers and written in a warm and amusing style that makes it more than tolerable for...

I decided to pick up a book from Chapters while at the cottage a couple weeks ago and I picked this one up because it was all over the store (yes I guess their promoting worked on me.) Turns out the book is fabulous (and hilarious.) It is about a 40 year old divorcee who was...

So I was one of the lucky reviewers who got this book free through the Chick Club. Thanks guys! In reading this book, I hoped for a fun, lighthearted read about female relationships. After finishing the book, it is safe to say that is exactly what I got out of this book...

I am kind of sad that this was only the first book I picked up by Klosterman. I can't wait to read more! He is an awesome, witty writer and this book puts so much about pop culture in a humorous and satirical perspective. Highly recommended!

I loved this book because it was written so realistically. I was able to identify with the main character and how she thought. She is looking for the perfect boyfriend and is in a relationship that for all intensive purposes looks great...but she is bored. She realizes that...

I picked this up thinking it would be fun for a hot summer day spent lazing on the deck. I did finish it in an afternoon, but only due to sheer determination not to put it down. Maybe it's just that I'm no longer a teenager, but the plot seemed a bit laboured, and almost like...

Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx set this story in a small fishing town in Newfoundland. The protagonist Quoyle, a middle-aged loser, comes home with his daughters to make a new life, but instead discovers a devastating family secret. Along the way, the reader gets a unique...

Dry, Augusten Burroughs' second memoir is just as amazing as his first. He is now in his twenties, an alcoholic, and has to go to rehab. This story follows his journey to getting well, and it's just as shocking, funny, and twisted as Running With Scissors. By the end I was...

I finally got the chance to read this book, which was graciously given to me by the authors. I think the best part about this series is the food. All of the food described sounds so delicious that you'll find your mouth watering as you read it. Luckily they have a bunch of the...

This memoir by Rebecca Eckler follows "Knocked Up". She humorously relates the life-changing experience of new motherhood from birth to 2 years old. What can I say about this book? You might say it's a "love it" or "hate it" kind of story. On the one hand, you'll see a new...

This is the most refreshing take on the topic of Werewolves I have come across in book form. Our lead character finds out that she is indeed a werewolf. Sparkle Hayter has mixed politics, gossip, lust and mythology together to create one hell of a ride. It's a crime/noir book...

This simple board book from the folks at Gymboree helps preschoolers learn the alphabet with fun pictures matched to their upper- and lowercase featured letter. It is an extremely basic book without any extra text or learning activities, and it's part of the new Gymboree board...
