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.

Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin
I read this over the long weekend and it was a great read. It's very realistic and it shows that even really good people can cheat and that cheating can happen to anybody. Even though this book was sad, it was also very hopeful and it really made me reflect on my...

I'll Have Who She's Having by Liz Fenton
This is a great book if you're looking for a fun light read. I found it was very easy to get in to because the characters felt very real. Most people can probably relate with one of the two main characters, or relate to bits of both of them. Definitely one of the better...

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
This is another good book by Dan Brown. Even though the book itself is very good, the plot and themes are very similar to all his other books.

Brownline Ecologix Weekly Planner
Reviewing a weekly planner seems silly until it's nearly the end of the year and I'm desperate for a new one! I have used many planners over the years and never really lusted after one... until now. The Brownline Ecologix line of planners is made from postconsumer...

East of Eden by John Steinbeck
I love James Dean and love his movies. So a few months ago, I decided to read this book. I was surprised that the movie is just from one little section of the book. The book goes much further back in time to set the stage of the characters and story line. It was a great...

Stephanie Meyer's New Moon
Myself and my daughter have both read all the books in the series, it was an awesome read and hard to put down. Reading to me is like getting into a hot bath, and I enjoyed every minute of this series. I also watched all the films that have been released to this point, and we...

The Savage Garden by Mark Mills
I just finished reading "The Savage Garden" by Mark Mills. I have to say that I am sad to have seen the book end, always a sign of a great book for me. When I selected this book at the library I did what I always do before deciding to try an author I haven't previously read...

Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making It Work by Tim Gunn
I adore Tim Gunn because he seems like such a gentleman and I really, truly, feel that if he knew me, we'd be BFFs. That being said, I really enjoyed reading this book because of the wealth and diversity of information provided. I love that he talks about his past, his own...

Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Ben H. Winters
I love Jane Austen, I love hilariousness and I enjoy sea monsters and they all are compiled into the book Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Basically, they take the story, characters and even some dialogue of Sense and Sensibility but they twist and warp the story by...

Alanna the First Adventure by Tamora Pierce
Alanna the First Adventure is the first in the Song of the Lioness Quartet. The series follows a girl as she disguises herself as a boy to become a night. It's teen fiction, but whatever, I love them. My copies of these books are as creased and stained as my Harry Potter...

Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult
This book is fantastic. Jodi Picoult's character development in all of her books is amazing, but I found myself empathizing with the characters in this book much more. It is such a compelling read (as are most of her books), and I was actually sad when it was over. Would...

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire
It's very seldom that I find a book that I would read again and again. This book takes a good imagination and open mind to read but it was a lot of fun and definitely interesting. I will never watch the Wizard of Oz the same way again!

Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel
Prozac nation tells the story of a young woman struggling with chronic depression. I find that this book is kind of depressing to read but it is interesting to see the perspective of another person that is depressed. Overall, it was a good read. I'm hearing that it's...

Why Men Love Bitches
I was excited to read this book because I've always heard men love bitches (or seems to be the case from my personal history). However, I couldn't stand the content and didn't even finish it. It made me look like I was always the problem and that the only way to 'keep' a guy...

Captured by Grace by Dr. David Jeremiah
Captured by Grace by Dr. David Jeremiah This book is as beautiful as the picture on the cover. When I seen that picture of the eagle flying in the beautiful sky above the river in the valley, I knew that this is a book that I wanted to read. And when I see that river in the...

The Curious Incident of the Dog in Night-Time by Mark Haddon
This book is fanominal! I would definitely recommend reading this book especially if psychology is of interest to you. It is very well written and is one of my all time favourite books. It's about a boy who suffers from autism and his journey to uncover a mystery.
