This includes the fact that when Nana dies, Arsalan will be completely alone in the world, except for his estranged and abusive father. So he turns to Beenish, the step-daughter of a prominent matchmaker, to find him a future life partner. Beenish’s request in return? That Arsalan help her ruin her older sister’s wedding with a spectacular dance she’s been forbidden to perform.<br />Despite knowing as little about dancing as he does about girls, Arsalan wades into Beenish’s chaotic world to discover friends and family he never expected. And though Arsalan’s old-school manners and Beenish’s take-no-prisoners attitude clash every minute, they find themselves getting closer and closer—literally. All that’s left to realize is that the thing they both really want is each other, if only they can get in step.</p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><a href="https://www.thenovl.com/briarheart" target="_blank">Briarheart</a> by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/mercedeslackey" target="_blank">Mercedes Lackey</a></strong></h2></h3><p><p>Miriam may be the daughter of Queen Alethia of Tirendell, but she's not a princess.

After earning a place on the elite Kings Row fencing team, Nicholas must prove himself to his rival, Seiji Katayma, and navigate the clashes, friendships, and relationships between his teammates on the road to state championships–where Nicholas might finally have the chance to spar with his golden-boy half-brother.</p><p>Coach Williams decides to take advantage of the boys’ morale after a recent victory and assigns them a course of team building exercises to further deepen their bonds.

But in addition to the expected ephemera of mixtapes, Walkmans, photographs, letters, toys, and assorted junk, Elayah, Liam, Marcie, and Jorja discover something sinister: a hunting knife stained with blood and wrapped with a note. “<em>I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to kill anyone."</em><br />As the action dramatically alternates between the present day and 1986, the mystery unfolds and the sins of the past echo into today. The teens haven't just unearthed a time capsule: they’ve also dug up pain and secrets that someone—maybe one of their own parents—is willing to kill for.</p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><a href="https://www.thenovl.com/ourwaybacktoalways" target="_blank">Our Way Back to Always</a> by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/ninamoreno" target="_blank">Nina Moreno</a></strong></h2></h3><p><p>Luisa (Lou) Patterson grew up across the street from Sam Alvarez in the small, quirky town of Port Coral. They used to be inseparable--spending every holiday together, shooting silly YouTube videos, and rescuing stray cats. But then middle school happened, including the most disastrous (and embarrassing) serenade <em>ever</em>, and Lou and Sam haven't talked in the four years since. Sam is now the golden boy with plenty of friends, while Lou is an introverted romantic who's happy playing video games and writing fan fiction. But it's also the summer before their senior year, and life is knocking on Lou's door.<br />With her older sister having given up a scholarship to Princeton to have a baby and work at the local botanica, all of their mother's expectations are now riding on Lou's shoulders. She's retaking her SAT's, signed up for <em>way </em>too many AP classes, and her sights set on colleges with fancy names like Duke and Vanderbilt. But when she finds the bucket list she and Sam wrote together as kids, before Sam's father was diagnosed with cancer, she's shocked to see that she hasn't accomplished any of the goals she'd set for herself. Go to a party? Nope. Pull the greatest prank of all time? Still no. Learn how to be a really good kisser? <em>Definitely</em> not.<br />Torn between the future that her mother, sister, and younger self planned for her, Lou sets out to finish the list, and in a stroke of destiny or fate, Sam decides to tag along.</p></p></section><section><h2><h2><strong>Choose your shelves:</strong></h2></h2></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Choose a chair: </strong></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><p><strong>Choose your lighting:</strong></p></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><p><strong>Choose a color theme:</strong></p></h2></h3></section> quizJela LewterSeptember 10, 2021sway with me, syed masood, briarheart, mercedes lackey, fence, sarah rees brennan, time will tell, barry lyga, our way back to always, nina morenoComment Facebook0 Twitter LinkedIn0 Reddit Tumblr Pinterest0 0 Likes
