Sorting the Folk of the Air Characters into their Hogwarts Houses

What fantasy series am I currently/always obsessed with? If you can’t guess, you clearly don’t follow me on social media or read any of my blog posts. Spoiler alert: it’s The Folk of the Air. You know what other fantasy series will forever hold a special place in my heart? You guessed it – Harry Potter! It almost like you already knew from the title of this blog! What better way to spend my time than combine the two by sorting the FotA characters into Hogwarts Houses? So I did it. You’re welcome.

The Signs as Book Covers

Some may say I graduated college with a degree in both English and astrology (note: I definitely did not), so that makes me qualified to write this post on books and zodiac signs. There is a lot to learn in the world of astrology, and here at NOVL HQ, we are fully aboard this train. (If anyone is wondering: I’m a Virgo, Val is a Scorpio, Morgan is an Aquarius, Bill is a Sagittarius, Nat is a Capricorn, and Savannah is a Leo. It all checks out.)

All My Thoughts on The Diviners by Libba Bray

As some of you may know, the fourth book in Libba Bray’s The Diviners series, The King of Crows, is coming in February. What most of you may not know is that I have never read The Diviners. So, I have decided to take this glorious opportunity to rectify this obvious lapse in my reading repertoire and read through the first three books before book four comes in and I get completely and utterly spoiled. Here are my thoughts on book one.

It’s not just Friday and not just summer Friday, but it’s FAN ART FRIDAY. Today, I’m featuring some of the stunning fan art for the Daughter of Smoke & Bone series by Laini Taylor.

The Signs as Twilight Characters

We all love knowing what our favorite characters’ zodiac signs might be. But as we poured through our backlist of articles, we realized that a specific zodiac list was dreadfully missing. TWILIGHT! How on earth could we live without who our zodiac twin from the Twilight saga was!? Have no fear, we have righted this wrong. VOILA! The Twilight characters and their zodiac signs!

I Built a Playlist According to Each Folk of the Air Character

I think a playlist can tell you a lot about a person. Not only do you get a vibe of their music preferences, but I think a personal playlist helps you understand what they connect with and maybe why. So in the interest of helping you get into the mindset of the characters from the Folk of the Air, we bring you these playlists to enjoy!

Places You Must Not Miss in Santa Monica

Yayyy, it’s YALLWEST time again!! I love that this festival is in one of my favorite places in the world—Santa Monica! There is so much to do in this city, but I’m going to focus on places you can walk to from the festival, starting with, of course, the ocean! (Is it really a trip to SoCal if you don’t start at the ocean??)

The Folk of the Air Characters and their Game of Thrones Counterparts

Game of Thrones and the Folk of the Air series are so similar (ie: political trickery, magical mayhem, and assassinations left and right), we thought why return only to Westeros? Let’s throw some Elfhame into it! Here are the Folk of the Air characters and their Game of Thrones counterparts.
