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'm normally a fan of Bertice Small's work. She usually has great plot, characters, action, and romance. And while her novel, Lara, contains all four of those things, I would hesitate to use the word 'great'. I honestly read about half of the book before stopping. I think it was...

The latest Pride and Prejudice fan fiction is a mash up of Goodnight Moon and Pride and Prejudice. The artwork is superior quality and a love letter to the classic Goodnight Moon. However as a Pride & Prejudice fan the story seemed a bit forced but it was funny in parts...

Cool Water is a serendipitous story of different characters and their lives in the small town of Juliet in Saskatchewan Canada. The novel depicts the lively hood of the small town folk and how their lives intertwine. It makes you think about how the people around you deal with...

This simple board book from the folks at Gymboree helps preschoolers learn the alphabet with fun pictures matched to their upper- and lowercase featured letter. It is an extremely basic book without any extra text or learning activities, and it's part of the new Gymboree board...

Anatomy of a Scandal is told through different pov's and jumps between past and present. The husband, a high ranking British minister is accused of rape. The story takes us through the emotional turmoil of the victim and how one tries to cope with a justice system that is not...

This wasn't my favorite Jodi Picoult book. I really disliked Nicholas throughout the whole book. I wasn't sure what I wanted to see happen in the end but definitely felt the ending was abrupt and didn't care for how it went. Definitely lacked the old "plot twist" I expect from...

Not one of Dorothy Koomson's best novels. She tries to tackle too many issues in one book, so it falls a bit short. This book follows the wife of a man who was murdered 18 months ago. She also just found out a devastating secret about her teenage daughter. To top it all off...

I found that a lot of what was in this book helped melt some subconscious resentment. Even with a degree in psychology and a keen interest in the brain and it's functions, when it came to relationships, I found it difficult to deal with some of my boyfriend's ADHD tendencies...

Very introspective read. Quite an intensive look at the relationships you form throughout life, and a very deep look into the end of life and death. Touches briefly and yet very profoundly on "comfort women" used by the Japanese army- a very controversial topic. You come to love...

At the onset of this story I was getting rather bored and debated about just stopping. Thankfully I continued on, as it got better later on. At some parts I literally chuckled, ie. the hot air balloon project hehe. I have read other books of hers as well, and they are all just...

I am a fan of Joshilyn Jackson and really enjoyed reading her other works (Gods in Alabama, Between , Georgia and The Girl Who Stopped Swimming). I am a huge fan of southern literature and southern authors so her work is right up my alley. That being said, I was rather...

It's a really easy book to follow if you are just starting out on making Bento boxes. All the items are pretty common and you will probably be able to find them at your local grocery store. I also like that it gives you tips and suggestions. Another good part is that it gives...

I was very annoyed with the multiple plot lines going on in the beginning. I was less annoyed when I realized it was just two plus the one snippet from the beginning but it was though to keep track of names and threads from the both of them. I eventually got the hang of it and...

I started reading this book because of the speculation that it is the book that Dorian Gray, in Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray", is influenced by. If that is the case I can see why it would've been so influential as the main character lives an extremely decadent...

This is the third and final book in the trilogy by Cornelia Funke. It has also been translated to English from its native German. Though the first book was decent and the second one even better, I found the third to be quite boring. I did make my way through the entire thing...

To be honest, I wasn't really a fan of this book. It was entertaining and an easy read, but I just couldn't relate to the author at all. I was flip-flopping over whether or not to recommend this book or not. As a resilience/you can do anything book, this is great. But I would...

I was really excited to receive this coloring book as it's quiet different from the other ones I own and who doesn't love cats! The paper felt quite cheap, like traditional kids colouring book paper and while the designs were really cute, my real problem with this book was that...
