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.

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...

Dry, Augusten Burroughs' second memoir is just as amazing as his first. He is now in his twenties, an alcoholic, and has to go to rehab. This story follows his journey to getting well, and it's just as shocking, funny, and twisted as Running With Scissors. By the end I was...

This is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE book! It is a gripping and compelling memoir about growing up in a not so envious time and family. It will make you laugh, cry and feel like you are right in the story. I have re read this book seven times. It is also coming out as a movie later...

A great book! Most times books are far better than movies because they can give so much more detail than a time constrained movie. A glimpse into a fast-paced and exciting industry to so many would love to be a part of.

The Shopaholic series always puts me in a good mood. Really all of Sophie Kinsella's books put me in a good mood. They are just so light, fluffy and fun. Sophie Kinsella's writing is like ice cream on hot July day.

These books are so funny & cute! Easy reads - the first book is by far the best in series - but the rest are still very good and such easy reads! Try and find them in a second hand store and you will be happy!

I loved all of the shopaholic books. They were SO funny - a nice, light read that always made me chuckle. The scenarios in this book were especially funny though. I'd read it again.

What a hilarious adventure! Sophie Kinsella doing what she does best, making us laugh. You’ll be laughing out loud and enjoying the embarrassing moments that our dear heroine Emma has the misfortune to be a part of. A great read!

I am kind of sad that this was only the first book I picked up by Klosterman. I can't wait to read more! He is an awesome, witty writer and this book puts so much about pop culture in a humorous and satirical perspective. Highly recommended!

You wouldn't think that Steve Martin would be an exceptional writer, but he is! Once I read one of his books, I had to go out and try to find them all. They are all wonderful! Start with this one. He has a writing style all his own, like your best friend is sharing a story...

This show is so good! I read the book, but the show is much more amazing. The characters are very real and has a good storyline. I am very excited for season 2!

Book reviews tend to be very opinionated. I wasn't really a fan of this one, and I am not a real fan of Margaret Atwood's writing style in general. I thought for the majority of the novel it was interesting leading up to a climax, though I found the ending was just...

Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx set this story in a small fishing town in Newfoundland. The protagonist Quoyle, a middle-aged loser, comes home with his daughters to make a new life, but instead discovers a devastating family secret. Along the way, the reader gets a unique...

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...

My friend lend me this book during my New-Book-Drought and it was fantastic!! The synopsis on the back cover was a little weird, so I was hesitant to start the book. But once I started, I couldn't put it down. The story had melted the normal world we live in with a world of...

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.
