If you only read one book this year
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
"Love Warrior" by Glennon Doyle Melton
While Taurus may prefer to read fantasy and YA (we see you), the stars couldn't have picked a better book for this bull sign in 2017. This memoir is all about hitting rock bottom and rebuilding a marriage from the ground up. Sensual Taurus knows all too well about falling in love, but they could use some pointers when it comes to repairing a broken relationship (and a broken heart).
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
"Exit West" by Mohsin Hamid
More than a love story, this novel captures the hope and at times, despair of refugees struggling to reclaim their lives and find peace. Smart, worldly Gemini will love the elements of social and geo-political truth that paint this fictional story of two people escaping through magical doors to find the one place they can finally call home.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
"The Underground Railroad" by Colson Whitehead
When a slave seeks to escape her life in bondage, she discovers an underground railroad that isn't a network of dark tunnels, but a fully intact, secret train-system complete with steel rails, engineers and conductors. This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is the perfect mix of painful truth and imaginative fantasy—something that will resonate deeply with the hard-shelled Cancer who isn't afraid to dream.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
"The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life" by Mark Manson
Leo is a lion and while they are fierce, they also struggle with indecisiveness and insecurity. Enter this unlikely self-help book that aims to help people live their best lives by learning to not give a f*ck about the stuff that clouds their judgment and limits their potential. Full of profanity and humor, this insightful book is the courage every lion needs to reclaim their personal power.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
"Dark Matter" by Blake Crouch
Because Virgo is known to evaluate (and then re-evaluate) their life choices, this sci-fi thriller will strike them at their core. When the protagonist is abducted and knocked unconscious, he awakens to a new reality where life as he knew it no longer exists. The fast-paced story will keep excitement-loving Virgo on their toes as they discover what happens when everything that's real changes in an instant.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
"The History of Wolves" by Emily Fridlund
Not actually about wolves, this coming-of-age story is both dark and exploratory. As the novel follows 14-year-old Linda, a social outcast whose upbringing was anything but traditional, Libra will get lost in the dark turns and satisfying twists that include death, secrets, lust and the need to belong.
