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

Coventry by Helen Humphreys
This is a wonderful book. At under 200 pages, it is almost a novella, but it is utterly engaging. It speaks to the horror of war, but also the strength of friendship between women. I did not want it to end, but had to keep reading.
