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.

Skinny Bitch by Kim Barnouin, Rory Freedman
This book is written by two models who should probably stick to their day job rather than trying to make it work as legitimate authors. There is some legitimate advice in here and I'll even be honest and say that it helped me finally make the push to pescetarianism. However...

The Alchemist
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...

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...

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...

Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger
Everyone Worth Knowing wasn't as good as The Devil Wears Prada, but it still had its moments for sure! EWK isn't as detailed as DWP, but you still got enough story for sure. Note: Chasing Harry Winston was dreadful - you can see that this author has been rushed in her...

Double Identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix
My daughter sailed through this book and then promptly bought the full 7-book set 'Shadow Children' by Haddix with her Christmas money. It's a great science fiction adventure for junior readers who don't mind a little predictability. While I have not personally...

Summer Sisters by Judy Blume
First of all, if it's by Judy Blume, I'm going to read it in an instant. This book is definite summer reading. I think I've read it every summer since I got it. It's a bit steamy, a little sad and has some serious summer drama. I love the main character, she's very relatable and...

Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
Oh man, this has GOT to be one of my favorite books of all time! Burroughs has such a talent for writing, the reader is drawn in from page one, and he really makes his writing come alive. While extremely graphic, and certinally not suitable for anyone under the age of at least...

The Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven
I loved this book, i actually was not expecting a good read from it because it is not my typical fantasy genre. Although dont get me wrong it is fantasy but it is a darker more dream like story line. It was really funny at parts and just good at others =P Pick up a book and...

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
I picked up this book for my son, but he wasn't really interested in it so I decided to give it a go. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down! This series by Rick Riordan is non-stop from page 1 of the first book right through until the end of the 5th book! Greek...

The Love Market
The Love Market is a 'what if' story. What if you were married to a great guy but there was no passion and you still carried a torch for your first love? Celine Lewis is in London with her husband celebrating their 10th anniversary when she sees her ex Patrick, a man...

The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory
I got hooked on the Tudors after watching the Tudors on TV, and started reading Philippa Gregory's books, starting with the Other Bolyn Girl. I wanted to know more about Queen Elizabeth I, and and always wanted to know whether she was really a virgin or was really...
