From NOVL:
“The Grandest Game is finally here, and I have the perfect playlist to accompany your reading (or rereading). This book is as unputdownable as they come. They’re not just players—they’re players with a backstory. And don’t even get me started on the romantic tension. It’s giving there can only be one, but I want you anyway. And if none of that makes sense, just hit play and pick up a copy today. You will not regret it.”
Teen summer reading programs at the Morristown & Morris Twp. Library run from July 1 – August 7. Participants can earn raffle tickets for summer reading prizes by attending book clubs, craft programs, and playing book bingo. For more details, please see the flyer below.
From NOVL:
“These days, different ‘aesthetics’, as Dorothy Gale so famously said, “Come and go so quickly!” From “Barbiecore” to “Tomato Girl Summer” sometimes these micro-trends seem very random, and very fleeting. But it’s all about embracing what feels right… So however you woke up feeling today, pick an aesthetic and we’ll give you a book recommendation.”

From NOVL:
“If you tell me there are different categories of anything in a fantasy book (be it course of study, magic type, companion, or otherwise), I simply must know what I would be/have/do in this world that does not and will never exist. There is nothing I won’t turn into a personality quiz… And if there are dragons?! All bets are off. Please enjoy imagining your fantasy life along with me by finding out which dragon type from So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole you would bond with.”

From Tor/Forge:
“Do not be alarmed, for this is neither good nor bad necessarily, but you have a ghost. It’s there—hovering, haunting, wanting. All ghosts want something, or else they wouldn’t be here.
This one wants you to read a book. Better figure out which one.”

Well, here’s your chance to show off how much you’ve learned!
Turns out there are plenty of real-life places that sound like something out of a fantasy novel, so we wanted to take you on a bit of a knowledge quest. Try our quiz and see which real and fictional places you recognize, or get introduced to some new destinations.”
