The Stolen Heir – author Holly Black’s much-anticipated follow-up to her Cruel Prince series – is set for release in January 2023. The book is part of a duology that takes readers back to the opulent world of Elfham and features a runaway queen, a reluctant prince, and a quest that may destroy them both. While we all await publication day, why not listen to some music to set the mood? Below you’ll find a fan playlist courtesy of NOVL as well as Holly Black’s own playlist which she listened to while actually writing the book!
From EpicReads:
“No two book lovers are the same.
Some prefer hardcover, others prefer paperback. Some refuse to read series until all of the books are released, others relish in participating in each release date as they come. And of course, the debate that could be as old as books themselves (don’t fact-check us for this one though): to dog-ear or to not dog-ear?”

From the Tor/Forge Blog:
“Endless night streams soft and silver through the reading room’s wide window. You are surrounded by volumes and tomes, candle and moonlight, and out that window—so many stars. Inside there are so many spirits. If you do not escape the library, you will join them.
FOREVER.”

“Keeping up with the latest K-pop comebacks is very much like trying to keep up with the latest book releases—it’s always happening and it always seems never ending. Which becomes both a blessing and a curse.
In the world of K-pop, there’s always a new song to listen to, a new stage to watch, a new group to stan, and that doesn’t even include wanting to go back in time to listen to old favorites as well. Trying to balance that AND book reading? The book-nerds-who-are-also-K-pop-stans work HARD for the things they love.”

From EpicReads: “Let us set the scene: You just got to book club. You have your book with you, obviously. That’s the most important thing. But what’s the second most important thing, the thing you’re looking for the second you walk through the door?
Book club snacks. That’s right.
We don’t know about you, but we love when books make us hungry. That’s a sign of good writing, and frankly, reading while snacking is one of our favorite pastimes!
Without further ado, check out some books that pair perfectly with book club snacks!”
