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.

Thank You For Smoking by Christopher Buckley
I really enjoyed this book. It shows you the power of communication and bullcrap! Also, it really made me think about how evil is a subjective matter, and not necessarily an absolute thing. I've recommended it to everyone who wants a fun read!

The Alchemist is a quick read, mostly because once I started I couldn't put it down! The story itself is not the main attraction, but rather what the story makes you realize about your own life that is the real draw. Inspirational, thought-provoking and entertaining...

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mademoiselle Odile
This is certainly a twist on a classic story. The setting of war torn Paris in the late 1800’s is extremely well depicted, with views and experience hardly heard. The author goes into great detail while setting up the characters and the scene. While also giving hints of...
