YA Books You Should Read Based On Your Zodiac Sign
From my experience, people have one of two relationships with astrology. There are ones who seek understanding in the cosmetic influence, and then there are the Sheldon Coopers of the world that wholly believe it is arbitrary nonsense. I personally have always found my horoscope highly relatable, if not spot on. (I know, judge if you must.) This doesn’t mean I'll blow my entire savings on lottery tickets if the stars destine me to good fortune, but I will occasionally read my daily horoscope app and screenshot a text over to my BFF with the words “OMG LOOK!!!” whenever I read something that vaguely describes me.
I am also a very enthusiastic book-pusher, especially when it comes to Young Adult literature. There is nothing more relatable than the universal feelings of teenagedom. Add in high stakes, fantastical lands, and love interests for the ultimate arise of conflicts and complications, and BAM, you have yourself a marvelously intriguing read.
So instead of making off-hand recommendations for you, I decided to put together the perfect pairing of YA novels you should read next based on your astrological sign. Unsure of what to read next? LOOK TO THE STARS. Obviously.
