Asalamu Alekum

Well it depends on what you read, what type of novels do you read?

Assalamualaikum, sister.

Muslims are allowed to read novels, magazines, or other kinds of book. Also, there is no prohibition for Muslims to write books or articles. But of course, not every kind of book or article is halal. Example of haram novel is 'Adult novel'.

You don't need to stop reading novel completely, just select what kind of story that you read.
But if you love reading, I recommend you to read non-fictions, Stories of Sahabah. There are many good lesson in those stories.
