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.

Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark

9 reviews

This is a book I read when I was younger. The stories were frightening but yet I read this book over and over. I wouldn't read it alone though, I always made sure someone was with me. I would read this book again.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

1 review

This is a review for the omnibus, which contains all five novels in the sci-fi series written by Douglas Adams. The first novel is the one entitled The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979), and is the one which is most well-known and most adapted. The others in the series...
Minecraft the complete handbook collection

2 reviews

My son is super into Minecraft, so buying these books for him were a great investment. I actually lucked out big time and for them on sale for $10 at Chapters! I bought them for him over a year ago and they still get read and used all the time!
Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult

1 review

This wasn't my favorite Jodi Picoult book. I really disliked Nicholas throughout the whole book. I wasn't sure what I wanted to see happen in the end but definitely felt the ending was abrupt and didn't care for how it went. Definitely lacked the old "plot twist" I expect from...
The maze runner series

2 reviews

I am known as a "bookie" or "bookaholic". I have people I don't even know approach me and ask for an opinion on a series when I go to the bookstore. Iay now work there or have a uniform but apparently I am seen there all the time and so to offer up my advice on hot or not titles...
Virtue Falls - Christina Dodd

1 review

I purchased this book because it was on clearance at Chapters. What an awesome purchase! I was immediately hooked at the beginning of the novel. It is a novel about a murder, unlawful conviction, and love between a father and his daughter. I really recommend this book. I could...
Go Ask Alice by Anonymous

28 reviews

I first read this book while in middle school. It was hard to put down. It's one of the very few books that I've read several times. It's been years since I've read it. I really want to create a book collection. This would be one of the very first to be added to it.
The Flavours Of Love: Dorothy Koomson

1 review

Not one of Dorothy Koomson's best novels. She tries to tackle too many issues in one book, so it falls a bit short. This book follows the wife of a man who was murdered 18 months ago. She also just found out a devastating secret about her teenage daughter. To top it all off...
Fables comic series

1 review

Fables is a series that started in 2002 and wrapped up in 2015 after running for 150 issues. It's written by Bill Willingham, with the main artist being Mark Buckingham. I absolutely love this series! I've been collecting the deluxe edition hardcovers, so I haven't quite...
Why Not Me - Mindy Kaling

3 reviews

I love mindy! She's smart, independent, has great moral values and knows what matters in life. This book is funny, has emotional stories and you feel like Mindy is your best friend. Love her and her book!
The Night Sister by Jennifer McMahon

1 review

Disclaimer: I received this book for free as part of a Goodreads Giveaway. Wow, what a book! I didn't think I'd enjoy it at all, but the way it was told had me flipping pages with intrigue. It was weird because for the entire time I was reading I wasn't sure if it was a...
Cats Are Capable of Mind Control: And 1,000+ UberFacts You Never Knew You Needed to Know by Kris Sanchez

1 review

I don't follow UberFacts on Twitter, but I've heard of it. It was the first Fun Fact twitter account to really explode in popularity, with millions of followers sharing its tweets multiple times a day. But I just never saw the need for fun facts in my twitter feed, so I never...
What Angels Fear by C.S.Harris

1 review

This is a debut book by C. S Harris. It is only in paperback and was published 2006. I know this is an older book but it is a great book if you like mysteries and the "regent" period in England early 1800's. This book is "A Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery". He is a young noble man...
Linda Goyette - La nuit de toutes mes peurs

1 review

Ce livre est un témoignage, ce qui signifie que l'histoire s'est réellement produite à une jeune femme de 18 ans. Il ne faut pas avoir trop le coeur sensible parce qu'il est quelque chose. J'ai lu le trois quart du livre en deux jours, juste pour vous montrez comment il est...
The Martian by Andy Weir

9 reviews

I read the description for this online and thought it sounded great. One of my favourite films of all time is "Moon", which was very much about isolation out in space, so I figured this book would be right up my alley. This is an excellent story of isolation and survival. I'm...
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

2 reviews

The Phantom if the Opera is heartbreaking. He suffers so much. He only wants love but never gets to know it. It has been quite some time since I read it but it is a permanent fixture on my shelf. I will read it again one day and hopefully find a few copies to give my girls when...
Diana Gabaldon – Outlander

4 reviews

This entire book series is breathtaking. I have read the entire series and sub books literally countless times! You get lost in Jamie and Claire's world and it's hard to get back into reality! The TV series is just as beautiful! One of the best adaptations I've ever seen in my...

1 review

This book was a great read. It's about a new plague that is spreading and eventually causes people to combust. But then a fireman comes in and leans how to control the dragonscale and saves a group of people who also lean more about the plague.
I let you go

1 review

This was a great book! I couldn't put it down. It's about a mom who let's go of her sons hand who runs into traffic. It also follows a pair of investigators who are looking into the hit and run.
The Pocket Butler: A Compact Guide to Modern Manners, Business Etiquette and Everyday Entertaining by Charles MacPherson

1 review

Disclaimer: I received this book for free as part of a Goodreads Giveaway. I had to read this book in its entirety the moment I started it. It was informative without being boring and it was brief enough that it held my attention all while still educating me properly. Not only...
