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 would say STAY AWAY from any version of Runaways in this 'mini manga' style of book. My sister bought me several of them for christmas and they all fell apart. Upon opening it can clearly be seen that the pages are not attached well and they will fall out. Replacement versions...

How do they get away with charging $20 for a very short story? Seems absolutely ridiculous to me. I wonder how rich Robert Munsch is that he can keep coming up with these pointless stories that deal with stupid children. Such as Seeing Red. There's only one boy in all of the...

The Magnificent Tree written by Nick Bland and Stephen Michael King is a children's book about a father and daughter who build a tree. The father basically likes to overcomplicate things and the girl likes to do things as simple as possible with no real creativity. The artwork...

This has to be the worst book I have ever read. I may not have read Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey, but I'm sure this is comparable to them. The writing is bad, the characters are bad, and the plot is just annoying. I made sure to take notes while I was reading so I could...

This wasn't what I expected at all, and that would've been okay had I received something different to enjoy. Instead, I was confused and bored; I only read to the end because I didn't want to leave it unfinished. I didn't realize until a little bit in that there were multiple...

I started reading this book "the edge of devine" by Sandi Patty earlier this summer. Reading the description of it it was described as a book who inspired wommen to try the life and choices we make. To find our inner peace and a sence of independence. I did not find this to be...

Class Clown by Robert Munsch is a pretty horrible kids book. I can't believe I ever used to like his books. Class Clown basically says it's okay to not take anything seriously and to laugh it up in school instead of learning. I really did not like the message in this book.

Moose! is a children's book written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko. I recalled enjoying Robert Munsch books when I was younger. But reading this as an adult to my kid I am not impressed at all. The artwork is decent and seems like a cartoonist really...

Really poorly written. Weak storyline and it's so obvious what is going to happen. Super cheesy and lame characters. A very easy read as it's very amateurs and adolescent. Not enjoyable.

Atrocious. Words are almost not enough to describe how much I truly hated this book. Upon reading reviews of it (after reading it myself) I have discovered that it is apparently satirical of high fashion New York princesses. Perhaps if I had read it knowing this I would have...

This book was a little tough to get through. The book focuses mostly on Whitney Houston's mom, Cissy and less on their mother-daughter relationship. There's a lot of tragic events way before Whitney was born. I felt Cissy wasn't really that close with her daughter. It seemed...

I was very excited to read this book as I saw it on many a must read book lists, and had read many raving reviews for the book. That being said I was very disappointed with this novel. Without giving too much away about the plot, the story is about a set of siblings who come off...

What a terrible book! This is an insult to YA, to professional writers, and the industry in general. I don't understand why HarperCollins published this. I hate that I bought the entire series and now have to finish it because I couldn't stand this novel at all. It felt like a...

While this book was slightly better than the first of the series, it definitely wasn't worth even a star more. The author really has a stereotypical way of describing people and it's so ridiculous that the characters are pretty one-sided in a 'I'm such a smart nerd no one...

I love James Patterson but I must share that this book was a huge disappointment. The only positive was that I was fortunate to have borrowed this from the library and not to have paid money for it!

Chick 'n' Pug written by Jennifer Satterleigh and published by Bloomsbury. A 28 page young children's book for $8.99. It's about a chick who hates his chicky life and wants to be the wonderful pug he read about in his book. This is apparently part of a series since the back of...

I picked this up thinking it would be fun for a hot summer day spent lazing on the deck. I did finish it in an afternoon, but only due to sheer determination not to put it down. Maybe it's just that I'm no longer a teenager, but the plot seemed a bit laboured, and almost like...

I was disappointed with the sequel to the Masque of the Red Death; I almost rated this three stars as it wasn't too bad throughout (until I really got into writing this review), but the ending itself deserved a star knocked off. I couldn't help but get the feeling that this was...
