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.

This yoghurt is so nutritive and the fact that it is delicious at the same time shows that it doesn't have to be a junk food to be good. I think it is really good as a snack or simply for breakfast!

I found Sophia Amoruso's account of how she got to found NastyGal inspirational and humbling. She played around with vintage pieces she sold on a non-descript eBay shop, adapted pieces in her small apartment and worked a string of jobs to get to where she was in GIRLBOSS - a...

See Me

2 reviews

I'm on the fence with this book. I liked it, but it took me a long time to read through it. I think if the middle part wasn't so bleh, it would have been a better book. I've read almost all of Nicholas Sparks books, and this one I almost never finished.
Girls comic book series

1 review

Not to be confused with the television show by the same name, Girls is a sci-fi comic book series created by the Luna Brothers. The series ran from 2005-2007, with 24 issues in total. Also, it is most definitely NOT FOR KIDS! In case you were wondering. After reading the...

This is the best Korean textbook I've found. It's very simple and easy to understand- maybe a little too simple, since I took a Korean class elsewhere, but it's great to have the comprehensive review.

This is was great read. I love all of Julie Garwood's book. I've read most of her book twice, some more than twice. This is one if them. The lead is such a strong heroine. I really recommend this book.
