The third and final book in Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone series has a title: Dreams of Gods and Monsters.

Daughter of Smoke & Bone blew us away; Days of Blood & Starlight didn’t disappoint; and now we’re anxiously awaiting Laini Taylor’s third and final installment of her celestial epic, which we’ve learned is called Dreams of Gods & Monsters (out Spring 2014). [x]

An Infinite List of Amazing Books: Ask The Passengers by A.S. King

“All those people who are chained here thinking that their reputations matter and this little shit matters are so freaking shortsighted. Dude, what matters is that you’re happy. What matters is your future. What matters is that we get out of here in one piece. What matters is finding the truth of our own lives, not caring about what other people think is the truth of us.”

“I stayed up to till 4am to finish this book,” might be one of the best tags ever. Agreed?

FACT: The term “ice cream” shows up 32 times in Jennifer E. Smith’s This Is What Happy Looks Like.

It makes sense. Ellie does work in an ice cream parlor, after all. Plus, the whole thing is about a summer in Maine, an unexpected match, and HAPPY. What’s happier than ice cream? (Hint: nothing.) So, inspired by Ellie and the wide open summer that is so close we can taste it, Team Novl compiled The Ultimate Ice Cream Road Trip.

Please, go forth, read, road trip, and get happy. Don’t forgot to ask for sprinkles.
