Books to Read Based off Your Zodiac Sign

If you’re anything like me and have a deep love for reading, then you’re probably also on the side of Tik Tok known as “Book-Tok”. I like to describe Book Tok as both a blessing and a curse because it graciously provides never-ending titles to your To Be Read (TBR) list. The only problem with that is that you may not know where to begin and just because one person really enjoyed a book, doesn’t mean you will too. Everyone has different interests, styles of writing, genres that they like and/or prefer. To help narrow down the choices for your latest TBR, I’ve provided a non-exhaustive list of books to read based off your zodiac sign. It’s also important to note that you may not identify as strongly to your sun-sign as you do to other placements in your birth chart, so be sure to check out whichever sign you relate to the most.
