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.

The Food Lab - J. Kenji Alt Lopez

1 review

I was SO excited to hear that Kenji Lopez was publishing a book - I follow him on Serious Eats and take his cooking advice seriously. He has a scientific background and this marries so well with his love of cooking. The cookbook is 1000 pages and is more writing than recipes -...

Dictionnaire médical Larousse

1 review

J'ai reçu ce livre suite à la naissance de ma fille. C'est un bon livre qui explique les maladies, leur cause, leur traitement dans un langage vulgarisé. C'est un bon moyen de s'informer, et expliquer aux enfants les maladies qui nous entourent.

Maybe it's the asian in me but all three books are great. This is the ending of the trilogy and after reading the first two, you didn't think they could go crazier but they did and it's hilarious!
The Thirst

1 review

The Thirst was my first Jo Nesbo book and it blew me away. The suspense, grit, violence, and fast pace kept me up all night reading. Harry Hole has fast become one of my favourite characters. He is enduring, broken, and real. Although The Thirst is technically a standalone I...

Words do not do this amazing book justice. I took it out from the library because it seemed interesting and had some hype surrounding it, but nothing could have prepared me for the powerhouse that is this book. I have recommended it to everyone I know and will continue to do so...
Betty Crocker Classic Cookbook

1 review

So I bought my daughter the Betty Crocker Classic Cookbook for Christmas. I got out mine to compare them. The one recipe she loves in my cookbook is not in the new ones. I found this very disappointing.
Joyland By Stephen King

1 review

I've always loved Stephen King and this book did not disappoint! It wasn't a horror book, it more had the same feel as the Green Mile or Shawshank Redemption. It had a bit of everything, coming of age, adventure, love... For a nice easy read I would recommend this to anyone.

I buy these every year for my Louis Vuitton wallet agenda. It fits perfectly and is way cheaper than the original Louis Vuitton's. It's a small stack of papers with 6 holes. You have 2-3 different options. I buy it on their website.

What We Lose- A Novel

1 review

This likely is not the book you expect. It defies many conventions and definitions by choice and by nature. The novel is raw and ragged in places. It's linear, but allows for shifts in memory and projection that flow as naturally in the text as they do through the mind. There is...
