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 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...

I read this book on a trip last year and I could barely put it down. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the first few pages take a while to draw you in but then it's so beautiful and riveting you have to finish it. It's one of the few books I've kept after reading because I'd...

I started my keto journey in March of 2017. Just around that time this book was released and I read this book from cover to cover, made a few recipes and have shared to others how amazing this boon is. The author Leanne Vogel is truly passionate about ketogenic way of living and...

This book is a wonderful adventure. A well written tale of nurses and their journey to and through WWII. Soraya created characters that I fell in love with...that I'm a little sad to leave at the of the novel. There were times when i felt the tears hot on my cheeks experiencing...

This book was recommended to me by a fellow chick... (thanks Dana)! I was hooked after the first couple of pages. It is a fast and intense read, I couldn't put it down, I just had to know what was happening next, so I often I found my self reading late into the night. If you...

Oliver Jeffers books are so whimsical - with Lost and Found being no exception. A little boy sets out on an adventure with his penguin friend, with beautiful painted illustrations and a darling storyline. My daughter requests this book over and over again.

This book was recommended to me in the community forums :) I LOVED this book!! It did take a bit to get really drawn in but once I was I couldn't put it down! I found the storyline extremely smart, dark at times and very secretive. I didn't see that ending coming! Worth the read...

I was 100% drawn to James Hayman's writing style after reading his first book in this series. He keeps you drawn in and interested. This book had so many twists and turns I wasn't able to put it down! I love a book where you don't have any idea who the killer is. That was this...

Out of the 5 books in James Hayman's series this is my second favourite! I was completely drawn into the storyline and the writing. I had such a hard time putting this down! Loved the characters and it was really neat to see Maggies side of things, her family, where she grew up...

Story about how someone as small as mouse is able to overcome their obstacles. It's a really great story for kids of all ages and even adults (in my opinion). I didn't learn/hear about this story until my teenage years. Would definitely recommend.

I actually stumbled on Ellen by mistake. I reserved a few E-books and accidentally clicked on one of hers in error. I am thrilled I did as I had never heard of her or any of her novels and she quickly became one of my favorite Authors of all time. Her novels are targeted...

It's one of our favourite Dr Suess Books. Spent tons of family time with my (not so) young one reading this treasure. Teaches children that they can be anything with the craziness of Dr Suess added

I just adore Lauren Graham, when reading this book of hers I could actually picture her reading it out loud. The flow of the book was perfect, starting off with childhood, teen years and adult life which lead her to being cast on Gilmore Girls, which is one of my favorite TV...

Historical fiction, one of my favorite reads. The characters are vivid and bright, just thinking about it now I can picture the story with the description of the clothes they wear, to the tiny details of their shoes. The way their hair was done. The houses, and carriages...

Historical Fiction. This is a prequel to Through A Glass Darkly, the story before Barbara. It still bears the same characeristic writing of Karleen Koen and makes the pages spring to life as you visualize yourself, down to what the characters look like and the clothes they are...

This book is the sequel to Through A Glass Darkly. It continues telling the story of Barbara and draws it all together some more. Barbara has already been through so much, but this story just continues her tale, which I was happy happened! The characters are as rich and...

This novel is based on a true story, and was eventually made into a movie. On September 11, 1999, eight oil workers-seven Canadians and one American-in Ecuador on a routine mission to repair a stretch of corroded pipe for United Pipeline Systems were taken hostage by fifteen...
