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.

This is the first of a three book series ( the third will not be out until next year). I won the book in a draw with Penguin Canada, and when I first read the inside cover I thought this was another silly supernatural book for teens, but was I ever wrong. Thirty pages in, I...

When I picked up "Lady of the Forest", I almost didn't. It had one of those really gushy, Fabio-type covers that I can't stand (not like this one I've posted). But who doesn't love a Robin Hood story? The book is hugely long, which at first was mildly intimidating, but in the...

After marathoning Laguna Beach and The Hills, I wanted anything that give me more insight on the shows. Which lead me to picking up this fantastic series, which offers parallels to the series' while engaging readers with a cast of characters that you instantly feel akin to.

This book is adorable and my daughter just loves it. We've read it every night since we've got it and it still keeps my 2 year old's attention. The text flows really well and the pictures are nicely drawn. I would definitely recommend this book.

What an amazing debut! Katherine Scott Crawford let herself sink deep into Keowee Valley — she must have, because every aspect of the book is beautifully done. Her characters were multi dimensional (including secondary characters) and believable, and even though there wasn’t...

"The Firebird" is Susanna Kearsley's latest (and may I suggest greatest?) release. As you know from last month, I love Ms Kearsley's writing, but this one was a real treat. Not only did she bring back a couple of beloved characters from the mystical "Shadowy Horses," she also...

I actually read these books because my daughter was interested in them. I thought the writing was creative and mysterious. The story is not about the girl falling for the rebel but a deeper story about true love and finding your soul mate. It has some interesting characters...

I really loved this book because it's non-fiction that reads as effortlessly as a fictional novel. It's also very informative, and I gained a lot of new insight about Amazonian exploration which I never knew before. It was very eye-opening, at at times disgusting (the bugs!)...

It's a quite funny story. But I don't quite like her idea having the footnotes. I found that that's just way too much of footnotes. But other than that it's worth the time to read this book and I would say overall is well written.

Julianna MacLean is a talented, prolific, USA Today Bestselling author from Halifax, so when I discovered she wrote Highlander Historicals I raced out to get one. As I'd expected, her books are lots of fun, with enough battles and romance to keep the multiple series popular. I...

I received this book free from natgalley in exchange for an honest review. The main reason that I had requested this book to read was because I fell in love with the cover. But once I read the summary I decided that the book would also be interesting lol. I would venture to say...

Really poorly written. Weak storyline and it's so obvious what is going to happen. Super cheesy and lame characters. A very easy read as it's very amateurs and adolescent. Not enjoyable.
