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.

I finished this book in two days last year. Her TED talk made me cry like a baby and her story really intrigued me to read her book. The author is a North Korean defector and she published this book to inform how she escaped from her home country. Her novel put me in a...

This is a very cute story! I bought this for my son when we were trying to potty train him. I read this book SO many times in a day it was insane, he loved that book so much and carried it all over. It helped immensely that he was into trains at the time too. It definitely...
The Woman In Cabin 10

4 reviews

I started reading Ruth Ware books a couple months ago ... And this was my favourite out of all her books. It does start off a bit slow and the main character is kind of annoying ... But once the excitement starts, you get hooked into the story and you can’t wait to find out...
The 5th Wave Book Series

1 review

This book series is SO good. It kept me glued to the page, and always wanting more. I watched the movie before i read the first book, so i already kind of knew what to expect. But the first book went into so much more detail than the movie ! The second book took awhile to liven...

I seriously recommend this series. It is one of the best fantasy trilogy I have read in a while. The plot is sooo good. The characters are very intriguing and loveable. The amount of historical details in those books is fascinating. A must read!
The Little Book of Skincare

I ordered this book from Amazon and I enjoyed reading it! The illustrations are cute and it's refreshing to read that the author Charlotte Cho didn't start off with a skincare routine until much later on in life. I believe this book to be best suited to those just getting into...

Le vide - Patrick Sénécal

1 review

Encore une fois Patrick Sénécal se surpasse avec ce livre! Il y a des revirements encore et encore, du suspense tout le long, je n'ai jamais lu de livre comparable. Particulièrement traumatisant, à ne pas lire si vous êtes déprimé. Language particulièrement cru. C'est...

I picked up this book for my daughter as a surprise to put in her carry on for a trip. She's very much into social causes and I thought this would keep her engaged during a long flight. I ended up reading it before her trip...picked it up and couldn't put it down! Lots of...

This book is both very technical and logical. As a woman, I found it to actually be beneficial with respect to general self confidence for not only dating, but for making friends and just being socially unawkward. There are also sections on health and working out, and even...

Japanese Hiragana & Katakana for Beginners

Very helpful for self-directed study or for more practice outside of the classroom. The pictures used to associate each symbol/sound are very cute or "kawaii" and really do help you remember the symbols better. The CD that is included has the pages where you can print your own...
