May your days be merry, bright, and filled with cheer- even though, apparently, Mercury is going to be in retrograde until December 15th. Is it just me, or is Mercury <em>always</em> in retrograde???</p> <p>Whether your holiday preferences lean towards the cozy side (hot chocolate by the fire with a movie marathon, anyone?), active side (who doesn’t love a good snowball fight?) or just plain non-stop partying (some people REALLY LIKE NEW YEARS!), we still need time aside for reading. Please. I’m already feeling my social battery dwindling…</p> <p>So, if you’re going to need the comfort of a book (or ten) to get you through the insanity of the holidays, I’m with you!

Sorry bout it!</strong></p> <p>By #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Holly Black, the first book in a stunning new series about a mortal girl who finds herself caught in a web of royal faerie intrigue.</p> <p>Of course I want to be like them. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.</p> <p>And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.</p> <p>Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.</p> <p>To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.</p> <p>In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.thenovl.com/landing-page/novl-series-page-the-folk-of-the-air/">Buy Now</a></div> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39813935-the-cruel-prince" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goodreads</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="450" height="450" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Gemini.png?w=450" alt="NOVL - Illustrated icon depicting the sign for Gemini" class="wp-image-1088520" style="object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Gemini.png 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Gemini.png?resize=150,150 150w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Gemini.png?resize=300,300 300w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Gemini.png?resize=190,190 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Gemini.png?resize=160,160 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Gemini.png?resize=180,180 180w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Gemini.png?resize=200,200 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Gemini.png?resize=113,113 113w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">GEMINI (May 21st- June 21st)</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1733" height="2600" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-1547993" style="width:500px" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg 1733w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=768,1152 768w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=683,1024 683w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=1024,1536 1024w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=1365,2048 1365w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=450,675 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=480,720 480w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=190,285 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=320,480 320w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=160,240 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=120,180 120w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=133,200 133w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/9780316568005.jpg?resize=75,113 75w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1733px) 100vw, 1733px" /></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">I Was Told There Would Be Romance</h2> <p class="has-text-align-center">by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/marie-arnold/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/marie-arnold/">Marie Arnold</a></p> <p><strong>My charismatic friend, you’re another one with a busy holiday schedule.

When Fancy learns her BFF, Tilly, has received a coveted invite and has a secret boyfriend, she is (understandably) devastated and wholeheartedly determined to do whatever it takes to get her own happily ever after.</p> <p>So what if she makes a deal with the devil (Imani) that guarantees her an invite—but only if she can bring a boyfriend? And what’s so bad about letting her crush, Rahim, believe that she can create a voodoo potion for him in exchange for him posing as her boyfriend? And, yeah, maybe she’s destroying her friendship with Tilly and falling hopelessly behind in her schoolwork, but Fancy knows it’ll all be worth it in the end. Plus, it’s not like Fancy’s parents would really make good on their threats of sending her back to Haiti…right?</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.thenovl.com/titles/marie-arnold/i-was-told-there-would-be-romance/9780316568005/">Buy Now</a></div> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/207567789-i-was-told-there-would-be-romance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goodreads</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="450" height="450" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Cancer.png?w=450" alt="NOVL - Illustrated icon depicting the sign for Cancer" class="wp-image-1088522" style="object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Cancer.png 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Cancer.png?resize=150,150 150w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Cancer.png?resize=300,300 300w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Cancer.png?resize=190,190 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Cancer.png?resize=160,160 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Cancer.png?resize=180,180 180w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Cancer.png?resize=200,200 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Cancer.png?resize=113,113 113w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">CANCER (June 21st- July 22nd)</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="499" height="750" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?w=499" alt="" class="wp-image-694405" style="width:500px" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg 499w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=450,675 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=480,720 480w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=190,285 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=319,480 319w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=160,240 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=120,180 120w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=399,600 399w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=133,200 133w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/9780316531313.jpg?resize=75,113 75w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px" /></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Ash</h2> <p class="has-text-align-center">by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/malinda-lo/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/malinda-lo/">Malinda Lo</a></p> <p><strong>My sweet Cancers, I hope your holidays are spent surrounded by loved ones, and that you don’t let the craziness get to you TOO much!

I’m giving you one of my favorites, a re-telling of a classic- hopefully it feels comforting amidst the holiday fray.</strong></p> <p>The haunting, romantic lesbian retelling of Cinderella and modern queer classic by award-winning author Malinda Lo–now with an introduction by Holly Black, a letter from the author, a Q&A, and more!<br><br>In the wake of her father’s death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed by grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, rereading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.<br><br>The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King’s Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Their friendship, as delicate as a new bloom, reawakens Ash’s capacity for love–and her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.<br><br>Entrancing and empowering, <em>Ash</em> beautifully unfolds the connections between life and love, and solitude and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-4 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.thenovl.com/titles/malinda-lo/ash/9780316531313/">Buy Now</a></div> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41716963-ash" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goodreads</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="450" height="450" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Leo.png?w=450" alt="NOVL - Illustrated icon depicting the sign for Leo" class="wp-image-1088526" style="object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Leo.png 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Leo.png?resize=150,150 150w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Leo.png?resize=300,300 300w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Leo.png?resize=190,190 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Leo.png?resize=160,160 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Leo.png?resize=180,180 180w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Leo.png?resize=200,200 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Leo.png?resize=113,113 113w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">LEO (July 23rd- August 22nd)</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1650" height="2475" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-1608199" style="width:500px" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg 1650w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=768,1152 768w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=683,1024 683w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=1024,1536 1024w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=1365,2048 1365w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=450,675 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=480,720 480w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=190,285 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=320,480 320w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=160,240 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=120,180 120w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=133,200 133w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/9780316566766.jpg?resize=75,113 75w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1650px) 100vw, 1650px" /></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Heiress Takes All</h2> <p class="has-text-align-center">by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/emily-wibberley/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Emily Wibberley</a> and <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/austin-siegemund-broka/">Austin Siegemund-Broka</a></p> <p><strong>Big personality?

She’s especially not thrilled that he cheated on her mom, kicked them out of their Rhode Island home, and cut Olivia out of her rightful inheritance.<br><br>But this former heiress has a plan for revenge. While hundreds of guests gather on the grounds of the gorgeous estate where she grew up, everyone will be thinking romance—not robbery. She’ll play the part of dutiful daughter, but in reality she’ll be redistributing millions from her father’s online accounts. She only needs the handwritten pass code he keeps in the estate’s safe.<br><br>With the help of an eclectic crew of high school students and one former teacher, Olivia has plotted her mid-nuptial heist down to the second. But she didn’t plan for an obnoxiously nosy wedding guest, an interfering ex-boyfriend intent on winning her back, greedy European cousins with their own agenda, or a vengeful second wife. When everything seems like it’s going wrong, Olivia has to keep her eyes on what really matters: getting rich. And when she’s done, “something borrowed” will be the understatement of the year.<br><br>Amidst competing schemes, nonstop twists, and a romance to root for, one high-heeled mastermind must prove to her father—and herself—that she’s more ruthless than anyone expected.<br></p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.thenovl.com/landing-page/novl-series-page-heiress-takes-all/">Buy Now</a></div> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/180164877-heiress-takes-all" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goodreads</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="450" height="450" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Virgo.png?w=450" alt="NOVL - Illustrated icon depicting the sign for Virgo" class="wp-image-1088529" style="object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Virgo.png 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Virgo.png?resize=150,150 150w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Virgo.png?resize=300,300 300w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Virgo.png?resize=190,190 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Virgo.png?resize=160,160 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Virgo.png?resize=180,180 180w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Virgo.png?resize=200,200 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Virgo.png?resize=113,113 113w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">VIRGO (August 23rd- September 22nd)</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-6 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1650" height="2475" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-1586066" style="width:500px" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg 1650w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=768,1152 768w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=683,1024 683w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=1024,1536 1024w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=1365,2048 1365w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=450,675 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=480,720 480w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=190,285 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=320,480 320w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=160,240 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=120,180 120w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=133,200 133w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/9780316439930_1a3e83.jpg?resize=75,113 75w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1650px) 100vw, 1650px" /></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>Renegade Girls</strong></h2> <p class="has-text-align-center">by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/nora-neus/">Nora Neus</a> and <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/julie-robine/">Julie Robine</a></p> <p><strong>Are you good with holidays, Virgo?

She dreams of one day writing hard-hitting articles for the <em>New York Chronicle,</em> but so far she’s only managed to land a job as a lowly society reporter. That is, until Alice Austen strolls into her life, an audacious street photographer who encourages Nell to shake up polite society…and maybe also take a chance on love.<br> <br>When her best friend, Lucia, is injured while working in a garment factory, Nell is determined to crack the story wide open. Posing as a seamstress, she reports on the conditions from the inside, making a name for herself as the<em> Chronicle</em>’s first ever stunt girl. But as Nell’s reporting gains momentum, so do the objections of those who oppose her. Will Nell continue to seek justice—even if it hurts her in the end?<br> <br>Based on real-life stunt girl Nell Nelson and photographer Alice Austen, this tenderly drawn narrative is about bringing buried stories to light and the bravery of first love.</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-6 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.thenovl.com/titles/nora-neus/renegade-girls-a-graphic-novel/9780316439930/">Buy Now</a></div> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/217182435-renegade-girls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goodreads</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="450" height="450" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Libra.png?w=450" alt="NOVL - Illustrated icon depicting the sign for Libra" class="wp-image-1088531" style="object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Libra.png 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Libra.png?resize=150,150 150w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Libra.png?resize=300,300 300w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Libra.png?resize=190,190 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Libra.png?resize=160,160 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Libra.png?resize=180,180 180w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Libra.png?resize=200,200 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Libra.png?resize=113,113 113w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">LIBRA (September 23rd- October 22nd)</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1733" height="2600" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-1366748" style="width:500px" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg 1733w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=768,1152 768w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=683,1024 683w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=1024,1536 1024w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=1365,2048 1365w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=450,675 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=480,720 480w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=190,285 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=320,480 320w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=160,240 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=120,180 120w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=133,200 133w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/9780316538725.jpg?resize=75,113 75w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1733px) 100vw, 1733px" /></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich</h2> <p class="has-text-align-center">by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/deya-muniz/">Deya Muniz</a></p> <p><strong>Libras usually hate to be alone, so you’re probably loving the holidays!

Like you, Jackaby has eyes that can look straight into the soul, of beings both natural… and supernatural!</strong></p> <p>This thrilling novel from the author of the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling paranormal mystery Jackaby series pits R.F. Jackaby, an investigator of the unexplainable and his new assistant, Abigail Rook, against a supernatural serial killer.</p> <p>Newly arrived in New Fiddleham, New England, 1892, and in need of a job, Abigail Rook meets R. F. Jackaby, an investigator of the unexplained with a keen eye for the extraordinary–including the ability to see supernatural beings. Abigail has a gift for noticing ordinary but important details, which makes her perfect for the position of Jackaby’s assistant. On her first day, Abigail finds herself in the midst of a thrilling case: A serial killer is on the loose. The police are convinced it’s an ordinary villain, but Jackaby is certain the foul deeds are the work of the kind of creature whose very existence the local police seem adamant to deny.</p> <p>While Abigail finds herself drawn to Jackaby’s keen intelligence and his sensitivity to phenomena others barely perceive, her feelings are confused by the presence of Charlie, a handsome young policeman willing to help Jackaby and Abigail on the case. But is Charlie’s offer a sincere desire to be of service, or is some darker motive at work?</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-8 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.thenovl.com/landing-page/novl-series-page-jackaby/">Buy Now</a></div> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64004637-jackaby" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goodreads</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="450" height="450" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Sagittarius.png?w=450" alt="NOVL - Illustrated icon depicting the sign for Sagittarius" class="wp-image-1088534" style="object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Sagittarius.png 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Sagittarius.png?resize=150,150 150w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Sagittarius.png?resize=300,300 300w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Sagittarius.png?resize=190,190 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Sagittarius.png?resize=160,160 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Sagittarius.png?resize=180,180 180w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Sagittarius.png?resize=200,200 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Sagittarius.png?resize=113,113 113w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">SAGITTARIUS (November 22nd- December 21st)</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1650" height="2475" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-1506551" style="width:500px" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg 1650w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=768,1152 768w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=683,1024 683w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=1024,1536 1024w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=1365,2048 1365w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=450,675 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=480,720 480w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=190,285 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=320,480 320w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=160,240 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=120,180 120w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=133,200 133w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/9780316568142.jpg?resize=75,113 75w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1650px) 100vw, 1650px" /></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">The Wild Huntress</h2> <p class="has-text-align-center">by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/emily-lloyd-jones/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/emily-lloyd-jones/">Emily Lloyd-Jones</a></p> <p><strong>HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARCHERS!!!!!

The holidays were MADE for you, darlings. We all know you are the hardest workers around, but this season gives you and excuse to let that hair down and party—the other signs tend to forget how FUN you are. It’s called work hard, play HARDER! Anyways, the gals in <em>Everything Glittered </em>definitely know about that life. Throw on your sparkliest outfit, and let’s DANCE!</strong></p> <p>In this queer historical thriller from a New York Times bestselling author, society girls try to find a murderer in a city filled with secrets and stunted by shame. Perfect for fans of Last Night at the Telegraph Club.</p> <p>It’s 1927 and the strict laws of prohibition have done little to temper the roaring 20s nightlife, even in the nation’s capitol. Everyone knows the booze has never stopped flowing, especially amongst the rich and powerful, and seventeen-year-old Gertrude and her best friends Clara and Milly are determined to get a taste of freedom and liquor, propriety be damned.<br> <br>But after sneaking out of the Washington Female Seminary to visit a speakeasy, they return to discover that their controversial young headmistress, Mrs. Rose, has been murdered. <br> <br>Reeling from the death of her beloved mentor, Gertrude enlists her friends in her quest to clear Mrs. Rose’s reputation, while trying to keep her own intact. But in Prohibition Washington, it’s difficult to sidestep grifters, bootleggers, and shady federal agents when investigating a murder. And with all the secrets being uncovered, Gertrude is finding it harder and harder to keep her attraction to her best friends hidden.  <br> <br>A proper, upscale life is all Gertrude has ever known, but murder sure makes a gal wonder: is all that glitters really gold?</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-10 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.thenovl.com/titles/robin-talley/everything-glittered/9780316565318/">Buy Now</a></div> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/204593537-everything-glittered" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goodreads</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="450" height="450" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Aquarius.png?w=450" alt="NOVL - Illustrated icon depicting the sign for Aquarius" class="wp-image-1088544" style="object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Aquarius.png 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Aquarius.png?resize=150,150 150w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Aquarius.png?resize=300,300 300w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Aquarius.png?resize=190,190 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Aquarius.png?resize=160,160 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Aquarius.png?resize=180,180 180w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Aquarius.png?resize=200,200 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Aquarius.png?resize=113,113 113w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">AQUARIUS (January 20th- February 18th)</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-11 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="499" height="750" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?w=499" alt="" class="wp-image-1051958" style="width:500px" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg 499w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=450,675 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=480,720 480w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=190,285 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=319,480 319w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=160,240 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=120,180 120w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=399,600 399w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=133,200 133w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9780759556041.jpg?resize=75,113 75w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px" /></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Incendiary</h2> <p class="has-text-align-center">by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/zoraida-cordova/">Zoraida Córdova</a></p> <p><strong>The holidays may get a bit… <em>predictable…</em> for an Aquarian’s rebellious and innovative personality.

But as Renata grows more deeply embedded in the politics of the royal court, she uncovers a secret in her past that could change the fate of the entire kingdom—and end the war that has cost her everything.</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-11 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.thenovl.com/landing-page/novl-series-page-incendiary/">Buy Now</a></div> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54872435-incendiary" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goodreads</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="450" height="450" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Pieces.png?w=450" alt="NOVL - Illustrated icon depicting the sign for Pisces" class="wp-image-1088548" style="object-fit:cover;width:200px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Pieces.png 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Pieces.png?resize=150,150 150w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Pieces.png?resize=300,300 300w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Pieces.png?resize=190,190 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Pieces.png?resize=160,160 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Pieces.png?resize=180,180 180w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Pieces.png?resize=200,200 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/HBGSites_NOVL_Astrology_Pieces.png?resize=113,113 113w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">PISCES (February 19th- March 20th)</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-12 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="500" height="750" src="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?w=500" alt="" class="wp-image-1037737" style="width:500px" srcset="https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg 500w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=450,675 450w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=480,720 480w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=190,285 190w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=320,480 320w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=160,240 160w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=120,180 120w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=133,200 133w, https://www.thenovl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/9780316492416-1.jpg?resize=75,113 75w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure></div></div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Sway With Me</h2> <p class="has-text-align-center">by <a href="https://www.thenovl.com/contributor/syed-m-masood/">Syed M. Masood</a></p> <p><strong>Pisces, I know you’re out here eyeing the mistletoe, you romantic!!! Or are there visions of sugar plums dancing in your head, per chance?? The holidays speak to your childlike nature that coincides so interestingly next to your age-old wisdom. Kind of like sweet Arsalan and his wise Nana in this book (one of my all time faves):<em> Sway With Me! </em>Arsalan and Beenish’s love story will warm your heart on the COLDEST of winter days!</strong></p> <p><em>She’s All That</em> goes desi in this hilarious, affecting, and sweetly romantic comedy by the author of <em>More Than Just a Pretty Face</em>.</p> <p>Arsalan has learned everything he knows from Nana, his 100-year-old great-grandfather. 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.</p> <p>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>At turns laugh-out-loud funny, poignant, and sincerely heartfelt, <em>Sway With Me</em> is a coming-of-age story for anyone trying to find their place in the world.</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex
