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.

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
This book is the first in the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. One of the greatest book series in a very long time, it is comparable to Harry Potter or Twilight! From the website: "When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York...

The Red Tent
This was an amazing novel that I still continue to pick up every so often just to enjoy again. It tells the story of Rachel (from the bible - daughter of Jacob) and it is NOT a religious novel by any means. It is a "what if" type story about how things must have been during that...

Wake: A Watersong Novel by Amanda Hocking
It took me all of two days to read this book and even that was two days too long. If I didn't have work, a household and kids to take care of I would have had this read within hours. I absolutely LOVED this. The characters, the story line, everything. The only part that suck was...

Karin Slaughter (Author)
Karin Slaughter is by far the best Crime Fiction Author there is. I highly recommend her books, I have never been disappointed. She grabs you from page one. Every book is a must read!!!

The Wind Through the Keyhole
In my eyes, Stephen King can really not do wrong with any story however, I have to say, to continue an epic journey to a series that took over 20 years to compile, and publish, the man deserves extra kudos. Serving as Dark Tower VIII, this book is actually written to fit in...

The Twilight Saga
I would recommend this series to ANYONE! Really, anyone, any age. They will be sure to love it and read it OVER and OVER and OVER! I even know some guys that have read it and really liked it. Even if you don't like Vampires and all that other stuff, it's still a great love...

Watership Down
Watership Down is an absolute must-read! It's one of my favorite novels of all time and is now available in a 40th Anniversary edition. It is an allegorical tale of a warren of rabbits who have to flee their home because their country domain is being destroyed by modern man and...

Embrace
Wow doesn't even come close to how great this book is, not to mention that this is book one of a series. From the time I started reading I got sucked in and couldn't stop. Every time I ended a chapter I had to just get one more in before putting it down, which was very hard to...

How to Raise the Perfect Dog - by Cesar Millan
This book is an absolute must if you're thinking about getting a puppy in the future! I recommend reading this before you ever adopt one so that you'll be prepared. It's meant for puppy owners, not adult dogs although some of the techniques and guidelines it gives would help...

Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
This is a fabulous book written by Eckhart Tolle! Very empowering! It's also very straightforward and easy to understand. A friend gave me this book while I was going through a rough time. She said it inspired her so much that she wanted to pass it on. She has since picked up...

Battle Royale
This is a Manga series which may sound very familiar to you these days as it has a lot of similarities to the Hunger Games. (Battle Royale came first) Firstly, if you've never read Manga before, be prepared to be confused at first. The book is read from back to front and from...

Abarat
There are three books so far in the Abarat series which is written and illustrated by Clive Barker. It's a fantasy story aimed at young adults unlike a lot of Barker's work. The story takes place on the Abarat which is a archipelago consisting of 25 islands. One island for each...

Night World Series
This is a series about the power of love passing over borders of vampires, witches, werewolves, shape-shifters, and humans. The soulmate principal has returned to the night world and the law prohibits telling a human about the nightworld let alone falling in love with them...

The Host by Stephanie Meyer
I was really excited to read this book because I love the Twilight series. It's definitely very different from the vampier/werewolf love, so you have to get your head wrapped around a totally different, and sci-fi frame of mind.

Stephen King's The Stand
In my opinion this is one of Stephen Kings best novels every! A made for television mini series was made back in 1994 from the book, but I still say it wasn’t near as good as the book is. I feel that way about most movie’s that have bin made from books. I just don’t think...

The Black Donnelly's Must Die
My mother in-law gave me this book to read and loved it as much as she does; she treasures it almost like it’s a part of her own family history. The Donnelley Must Die gives you a full account of the Donnelly family from the time they arrived in Canada from Ireland in 1840...

Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller
This was a fantastic book that exposed a lot of the misconceptions that the world has about Christians and the hypocrisies that Christians often portray in society. I was blown away by Donald Miller's style of writing and I was hooked on this book until the very end. I am...

The Last Dog on the Hill by Steve Duno
I wanted to read this book ever since I worked on the article for books that are coming out this summer. I love dogs so it was a no brainer that I would enjoy books about them. This book talks about the life of two brothers, a man and his dog Lou. Lou was exceptional and it...
