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.

This was yet another enjoyable book in the Protector of the Small series. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book, but it was still a good read and it wasn't boring at any point in the story. I won't talk about the world and the characters because I've already discussed that...

This book would've gotten a higher rating for the writing if it weren't for the main character. I enjoyed the setting and how everything was described, but Eastern Jewel was a woman with little to be respected for. Despite how unfortunate her life was, I couldn't help but feel...

This book veered in a different direction than I had expected, though I wasn't sure I enjoyed where I was taken. A story that revolves entirely around lace risked being boring, and although it didn't reach the great scopes I thought it would it did manage to sustain some of my...

I was hoping for a different story about the female pope, and even though I didn't get what I wanted it was still an interesting read. I didn't enjoy myself too much, though, especially when I knew what was going to happen to Joan once her story ended, but it wasn't a painful...

I decided to try this book out because it was something I had heard about but didn't really know much about. I was expecting a bit more of an adventure, but once I got past the detached narration I was able to cheer for the main characters and follow along without dragging my...

I did not enjoy reading this book but the descriptions and characters kept me going. It was definitely a tough start - I found it very boring - and I really didn't care much for anything about the story, but the descriptions of the things they came across in their journey were...

I can see why many people respect Hobb as a great writer. I really see the skills many other writers try to drill into new authors' heads wonderfully exemplified here and everything fit so well. It kept me going when things were constantly getting heated and nothing was getting...

Disclaimer: I received this signed book as part of a Random House Facebook giveaway. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. The beginning didn't grab me, and it was confusing as it shifted story lines, but once Pi's voyage started it became really fascinating...

This was an enjoyable series, but mostly only because of the humour (which is one that I have never quite encountered before). It took me a while to completely finish this because I never had a burning need to know what happens next, but when I did get around to reading it I did...

This book could've been so much better, but I did enjoy it even though I didn't expect to at the beginning. Yet again I found myself rolling my eyes at the way a story started; the writing, the narration, and the dialogue annoyed me, but soon enough I did get immersed in the...

I was disappointed with this book, and also this series, because of the way things went with the plot and how it ended - and none of it was because of the writing. It was well written, but I felt cheated more than I felt disappointed with how things turned out. It's one thing...

This was much better than I expected. It was a nice peek into WWI through the eyes of a child and the best part was that it didn't dumb down any important aspects. While children wouldn't get everything that this novel manages to show about life in England during that time, as...

I think every one teenager should have a copy of this book. With the way society is, it is nice to have some positive feedback for teenagers from teenagers. Teenagers need to look at life half full not half empty.

This book is intense, I can't put it down. Highly recommend it to any mystery fans out there.

This book is absolutely wonderful and heartbreaking, but most importantly eye-opening. Remini has such an important story to tell, and it's frightening to me that all of the things she's written could happen to one person. It's shocking how restrictive the cult of Scientology...

Sharp Objects is an eerie book about a young reporter who goes back home to write an article about the recent murder of a young girl. Gillian Flynn also wrote Gone Girl, which is another dark and twisted novel. If you like these types of novels check this one out. It's a...

Currently I am on book 19 in this series. They are hilarious. Some of them aren't even worth reading, but that's how it goes with a lengthy series. Stephanie Plum has two love interests Morelli and Ranger. I love Ranger, hes my absolute favorite character and the reason why I...

A very fun and unique cook book from Yotam Ottolenghi. The recipes are not always the easiest, but there is plenty for chefs of any skill range. The flavors are very middle eastern in origin and they are perfect for summer cooking sessions. I would definitely recommend this to...

I have a good number of Jewish cookbooks and vegetarian cookbooks, but this one is probably my favorite in both categories. The text and headnotes before the recipes are interesting, and virtually all of the recipes that I've tried so far have been terrific. I have particularly...
