Your Bookworm Horoscope

As the year comes to an end, I can’t help myself from reminiscing about all the lives I have lived through the books I have read from January up to now. Books are one of my favorite things, and I guess there are many others out there who enjoy reading as much as I do; nonetheless, I think I have some tendencies to gravitate toward some genres more than others. With this in mind, I was curious if my taste in books is connected to my astrological chart. That’s why I came up with this fun literary horoscope for each zodiac placement, where I considered their dominant traits and associate them with certain book tropes and genres.

  • Book recommendation: As a fellow Virgo, you can trust me when I say that “The Love Hypothesis” written by Ali Hazelwood is a perfect match for us. This quirky, scientific, and addictive romance, also a fake dating trope book, will leave you practically in love with the characters and the whole story.  

​

    7. Libra ( September 23 - October 22)

    8. Scorpio ( October 23- November 21)

  •  Dominant Traits: Stubborn, Resourceful, Brave, and Elusive 

  • Book recommendation: Oh Scorpio, the most mysterious and feared of them all, if astrology isn't real then why do you seem to come out of a chilling storybook? Don't worry I´m here to oblige, “Ninth House” by Leigh Bardugo is perfect for you with its very haunting ghost story featuring secret societies and the most stubborn main character ever. 

​

    9. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

  •  Dominant Traits: Extroverted, Funny, Optimistic, and Intellectual

  • Book recommendation: For my extroverted Sagittarius out there, my book recommendation would be “Hello Girls” written by Emily Henry and Brittany Cavarallo. The book is very thought-provoking and emotionally provoking, since it deals with a ton of interesting topics, yet it also incorporates a very good sense of humor that will get you to burst into laughter while reading it. 

​

    10. Capricorn (December 22- January 19)

  •  Dominant Traits: Independent, Serious, Dedicated, and Persevering

  • Book recommendation: For the dear Capricorns I recommend “A good girl’s guide to murder,” written by Holly Jackson, this book features a strong-willed main character who will go to great lengths to uncover the harsh truth.

​

    11. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

  •  Dominant Traits: Imaginative, Original, Progressive, and Deep

  • Book recommendation: With such imagination and passion to understand the true and valuable meanings of things, you can't go wrong with “The Little Prince'' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Don't let the comments about it being a kid's book fool you, this classical masterpiece brings out some meaningful insights.

​

    12. Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

  •  Dominant Traits: Empathic, Affectionate, Wise, and Sensitive

  • Book recommendation: Oh Pisces, since you can be very sensitive I am confident in saying that you will love Madeline Miller’s “The Song of Achilles.” This modern take on the classical Greek story will get you sobbing while you read about the romance between two of the most important figures in Greek Mythology.
