Scorpio – The Familiar <\/em>by Leigh Bardugo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This novel is perfect for Scorpios, not only does it feature a scorpion to be wary of, it is dark, intense and sensual. A historical fantasy set in the Golden Age, Luzia Cotado is a scullery maid with magic at her fingertips, a desire for wealth and the King\u2019s inquisitors on her tail. For those of you who love magic, miracles and a romance for the ages, The Familiar<\/em> is for you. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sagittarius \u2013 The Ministry of Time<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Introspective and marching to the beat of their own drum, The Ministry of Time<\/em> is a great read for Sags\u2019. A time-travel romance, a workplace comedy, a thriller? This book is nearly as multifaceted as you are! A civil servant who is offered a great salary and the chance to work with \u2018expats\u2019 from history bites off more than she can chew and has to deal with consequences she never expected.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Capricorn \u2013 The Fury<\/em> by Alex Michaelides<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You winter babies deserve to be transported to a Greek island! Smart, pacey, murderous. The Fury is perfect for the detailed-oriented and witty Capricorn, this is a story that you\u2019ll need to sit down, unpack and follow all the possible threads to the outcome. A murder mystery like Knives Out: Glass Onion<\/em> but breathes a breath of fresh air into the thriller genre.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Aquarius \u2013 Blue Sisters <\/em>by Coco Mellors<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unique and independent, just like the Blue Sisters, this star sign would love this story of estranged sisters reuniting and reconciling with their disappointing childhood and the loss of the one sibling that tied them together. An excellent portrayal of sister dynamics and what it means to care for someone.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Pisces \u2013 Isaac <\/em>by Curtis Garner<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sensitive and introspective, this is a character study for the true yearners or our generation. Struggling with self-worth and identity as a teenager who is just exploring their sexuality, Isaac is thrust into an age-gap relationship he cannot comprehend and at the mercy of an older man. Your heart will bleed not just for Isaac but for all the ways you might relate to him.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Aries \u2013 How Can I Help You<\/em> by Laura Sims<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a fun cat-and-mouse (or cat-and-cat) chase for you guys! Featuring not one, but two ambitious, impatient and passionate women. This thriller follows Margo who now works at a quiet library but unbeknownst to her coworkers, she leaves a string of bodies in her past. Margo is doing well, keeping herself in check and squashing down her darkest desires, that is until failed writer Patricia joins the library and is keen to see what Margo\u2019s hiding. A perfect book for those who love celebrating women\u2019s wrongs!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Taurus \u2013 Funny Story<\/em> by Emily Henry<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a fun one! The dependable and practical main character falling for her exact opposite and doing something wildly out of character? As she should! An exciting and enticing romcom with all the drama and tea that we know you secretly love to hear. This is Emily Henry at her best! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Gemini \u2013 Hera <\/em>by Jennifer Saint<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This sign has a bad rep and because of that, you deserve to read one of the best Greek mythology retellings to date! Hera isn\u2019t the callous, cruel, jealous wife that myths and movies depict her as. Here she is strategic, merciful and growing increasingly concerned with her husband\u2019s lust for power and her role by his side on Olympus. Read this if you love a redemption story about women who have previously been wronged.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Cancer \u2013 Blue Hour<\/em> by Tiffany Clarke Harris<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nothing quite like it. This lyrical prose will have you crying five pages in. Written in second person, the protagonist is intuitive, intelligent and exhausted of living in an America that demonises the Black body. Dealing with fertility issues and struggling to reconcile with potentially bringing a Black child into the world, the main character must decide if love of her husband and future child is stronger than her fear.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Leo \u2013 House of Flame and Shadow<\/em> by Sarah J. Maas<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A flashy book for a flashy sign! The third instalment in the Crescent City series and a long-awaited novel! This book is fun, flirty and ambitious. If you haven\u2019t jumped on the romantasy bandwagon, now\u2019s the time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Virgo \u2013 Good Material<\/em> by Dolly Alderton<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Virgos, you may be organised and graceful but this recommendation is the antithesis of this! It\u2019s a story about growing up, what pushes you together, what pulls you apart and what one can learn from others. Funny, fresh and full of insight into good friendships and relationships, this is an extremely relatable read and a respite from the Virgo that has everything together to see someone else who doesn\u2019t.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Libra \u2013 The Rest of You<\/em> by Maame Blue<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for the diplomatic and balanced sign! This novel is set in 90s Ghana and present-day London, following Whitney who, on the precipice of turning 30, experiences a trauma that sends her reeling back to her past… only there are gaps in her history that she cannot get back. Told from the perspective of Whitney and her family, this is a story that asks can you reconcile your present if you don\u2019t know your past?  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
