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 Giffin.  He's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice
All the talk recently about Twilight has just reminded me how much I love the Anne Rice novels!!! I have read each all of them more times than i can count. Definitely recommend them to anyone!!! Queen of The Damned is a WAY better book than movie(even tho i greatly enjoyed the...

The Jaycee Dugard Memoir
I bought this book out of curiousity, and found it to be an easy read. The writing style wasn't my favourite, but considering the writer's situation, it's understandable and part of the story. My morbid curiousity was hoping for a bit more of the finer details, and...

Lonesome Dove novel
Although some of you may recognise the name Lonesome Dove as a television show, or even as a movie, it was a great novel first. Lonesome Dove was written by Larry McMurtry back in the eighties and quickly became one of the most love cowboy, adventure, action, love stories of all...

The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook
I have been buying America's Test Kitchen magazines for a few years now and have branched out to the cookbooks as well. I decided to buy this one as it contains 2,000 recipes! Anything you can think of is contained in this cookbook and I have yet to make anything that...

It's Your Money, Honey: A Girl's Guide to Saving, Investing and Building Wealth at Every Age and Life Stage
This book has great financial advice for pretty much your entire life. It's cheeky and fun to read - especially considering the subject matter, which can be a bit dry. I actually think they could have split this up into a series of several books, but being the financial wizards...

ID Ideas&Discoveries;magazine
Ok, not a typical review, but it's something I rave about. ID magazine obviously is a magazine not a book. It's a relatively new magazine out on stands, I had originally bought the very first issue for my boyfriend, who loved it. Well, I am a voracious reader of everything:...

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella
I am a huge Sophie Kinsella fan and I have read all of her novels. But this one was a huge letdown! I was very excited to read this, and I bought it as soon as it came out. It just was not as great as her other novels, and definitely not what I was used to reading from her. If...

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
This book is the modern day retelling of Helen of Troy, it's such a fascinating read that right after I finished it I started researching more about Helen of Troy. Josephine Angelini is the first author to try her hand at this story since the origins of the tale in the first...

Secret Daughter
Secret daughter is a story told by different characters per chapters. The writer made the characters unique enough that even if you didn't read the chapter's title (which is the name of the character) you would know who you reading about. The story is about a husband...

Astrological Guide
I've been trying to get this review to go through for two weeks with the right name, but it just wouldn't move on. The complete name of this book is Sydney Omarr's Astrological Guide for Gemini's, witch I am. Sorry about the name not being correct. Any how...

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
I had seen the movie a hundred times, but never read the book. Then last year, I picked it up at the library. I was surprised as to how small the book was. I thought it was going to be a big book, due to the story line in the movie. The book was nice, but I actually found...

The Memory Keeper's Daughter By Kim Edwards
To be honest, I've only gotten less than half way through this book and I just can't finish it. It's boring and long even though it's only 401 pages long. I wish I could say that I at least finished the book before writing this review, but it's just going to happen...I'd rather...

Dean Koontz Eyes of Darkness
If you like reading books written by great writers like Steven King then you’ll love reading Dean Koontz books as well. Unlike King Koontz gets right into the story and grabs you from the start. He doesn’t take you in circles like King can do. He knows how to take you on a...

Will & Kate: A Love Story by Ink Robin
This is a digital storybook that you download as an app for your iphone or ipad. It's best done through the ipad as there are a lot of fun, features. I really think ebooks are the way of the future because they're so interactive and can't be destroyed like a...
