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.

A very hard look at the family dynamic between family members, not only father and son. I found it very difficult to read, but it was enlightening. A beautiful and often sad look ya divorce and custody. You find yourself feeling for each of the characters for different reasons...

It's ridiculous! It rapidly descends from sort of funny, to out-and-out bizarre. And on and on it goes.....for 400 agonizing pages! Alternating chapters chronicle Allan's life and Allan has had an interesting life, to say the least. He's met with numerous political leaders and...

This book is a collection of short poems, which i personally deem hilarious, but its not really something to be read all at once. This book has a great price and would be great as a stocking stuffer, or a gift for someone who just needs a laugh.

I am kind of disappointed about this book. When I read the book, about 1/3 of it, I knew already what kind of ending I would expect for this book. Not as interesting and as exciting as compare to any other of his work.

I have never read any other Debbie Macomber books but this one was recommended to me, and I know she is a bestseller author so I gave it a try (I was only hesitant because it seems like the kind of drugstore paperback that I would normally avoid). It was a nice light read. The...

I bought the book 200 Projects to Strengthen your art skills by Valerie Colston. It is a good book for experimenting with art by trying a variety of projects.

Love the idea, but I just found this a little bit of a juvenile read for me. I usually enjoy teen or young adult books as well, despite being firmly in the 'adult' category, but I found myself having to force my way through this one. Fairy story retellings or reimaginings...

Received an ARC from NetGalley. I found the first half of the book to be rather slow. good premise, I'm interested in finding out more of what happens, but it didn't grab my attention. About halfway through, the plot finally picks up and we understand more of what the...

I picked this up at Chapter's on a whim, even though I thought the price was slightly high for a paper back. Overall I've been enjoying and learning a lot, although it is kind of slow. I would recommend if you are into history, but not necessarily if you are just looking for an...

I didn't enjoy this book, but the ending itself deserved a star added on. Perhaps I'm used to the way horror is done nowadays, but even then I can't really stand it when a character spends a lot time telling me how much something affected them and how horrible it was. The story...

The premise of the novel is great; it definitely got my interest when I heard of it years ago, but I kept pushing it down my reading list. Maybe I've been tainted by YA, but I feel like it fell flat with its idea. I wanted revolution! Change! And instead I got an interesting and...

This book had a terrible start and I thought I was never going to get through it. Even though it did take me longer than usual to plow through, it did prove to be a sensational read and I enjoyed myself thoroughly with the overdramatic narration. I often got confused with who...

I didn't particularly enjoy this book. The plot didn't interest me enough, even though it was a decent one overall, and I kept forgetting who was who. I also didn't like the formatting; as in, there were places were a quotation mark should end and then the characters thoughts...

This was a decent end to the trilogy. Perhaps it wasn't what I expected, or at least what I wanted, but it was satisfying and it ended on a good note. It reminded me of what happened in the last book without sounding like a retelling (which is good in itself because I couldn't...

As a memoir, it was a good read to see into King's life. There wasn't as much on the craft as I would've liked, but his life as the writer and aspiring author, as well as his life as the prolific writer that he is, was interesting to read. The memories shared were poignant and...

My first experience of this story was through "The Madman's Daughter", a retelling of the story. I think I would've appreciated that story more had I read this first since I found myself being reminded of it often through the names and plot points in the original;...

Despite having easy readability, the book was hard to go through because of the lack of plot buildup in the beginning. I already knew once I started reading that Juliet would end up going to see her father wherever he was, and the romance (love triangle) felt so forced. I also...

The Italian had the typical Gothic horror feel so there wasn't anything disappointing in that regard however I did wish I had a better sense of where things were heading as the plot progressed. It went on quite a bit longer than I felt it should've but at least it mostly kept me...

Disclaimer: I received this book for free as part of a Goodreads Giveaway. Despite how the world got me from the get-go, I found it hard to keep reading. The first chapter had everything it could ever need to grab a reader's interest yet I just couldn't read more than a few...
