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.)
Read MoreAs 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.
Read MoreIt’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. How do these artists just completely capture the essence of Karou’s being? BRB, I’m going to practice how to draw a straight line.
Read MoreWe 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.

Read MoreI 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!
Read MoreYayyy, 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??)
Read MoreGame 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.
Read MoreHelllllo flappers! It’s almost the weekend, which means that it’s time to party like it’s the 1920s! If you need some inspiration while you get dolled up, look no further, because these artists have encapsulated the hip to the jive characters in their fan art of The Diviners by Libba Bray.
Read MoreBesides the angst-ridden poems I wrote in my middle school diary and the book-themed limericks I make NOVLers endure, I am NOT a poet.
