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.

Stephen King made me afraid of vampires and this is one of his best novels that delivered horror and demonic vampires. Anne Rice made me fall in love with vampires and Stephen King made me afraid of them. This is a great novel to read. I Remember watching the original movie...

I recommend this book to every pregnant woman out there. Most books about pregnancy just scare you with all the things that can go wrong. This book is funny and refreshing and makes you realize you should be enjoying pregnancy (and all the crazy things that come with it) instead...

My book club decided to read this book this month after having been sent a copy from one of my favourite blogs. Three girls showed up for our monthly meeting and we were left with so many questions. Even after printing out a suggested book club list of questions we kept coming...

I read the first books in the Sevenwaters Trilogy and loved them. I was delighted when I found a sub-series to go with it. I am over half way through the book and it takes a lot out of me not to just sit down and finish it....books are my passion.

I am the hugest fan of Chantel's first book Stuck in Downward Dog!!! so it was with huge excitement that I dug into Love Struck. I am not disclosing any spoilers that are not already on the back cover. I love the premise of the book - a young "with it" image consultant finds...

This book is of the same author who wrote "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood," which I read last summer and adored. The Ya-Ya characters return in "Little Altars Everywhere," however the book is a compilation of short stories rather than one whole story. Despite this...

To be honest, I've only gotten less than half way through this book and I just can't finish it. It's boring and long even though it's only 401 pages long. I wish I could say that I at least finished the book before writing this review, but it's just going to happen...I'd rather...

My daughter sailed through this book and then promptly bought the full 7-book set 'Shadow Children' by Haddix with her Christmas money. It's a great science fiction adventure for junior readers who don't mind a little predictability. While I have not personally...

Kaleidoscope (Seeing Gods Wit and Wisdom in a Whole New Light) by Patsy Clairmont - When I picked this book up, I couldn’t put it down. The 33 short chapters were so quick and easy to read. I love the way Patsy begins the book by comparing Psalms to the multicolor scenes of a...
