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.

I read this book in my early twenties, and it was really good! A light read about how different men and women are from each other, and how to understand and communicate with one another.

I loved this book and have passed it on to other friends! This is one of the best chick-lit books ever. The follow-up "Something Blue" was almost as good.

6 months, 6 main characters, 6 Jane Austen books. Each character is living part of the books that Jane Austen wrote. Witty, heartwarming, and real. I loved this novel I just could not put it down, and if you have never read anything by Jane Austen this book is a beautiful...
