What Book to Read Next, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

The stars have aligned on World Book Day this year, in that your next read has literally been predicted by them.

World Book Day is an annual celebration of books and authors, as well as a charity that sends books to children (and adults) to make sure everyone has something wonderful to read. As a bookworm, this is a national holiday I can get behind. And since I’m constantly overwhelmed about what book to pick next, I am all about having someone just tell me what to do, especially when that Someone is, essentially, The Whole Universe.

For those who live by their sign, consider yourself perfectly paired with a book. For those that don’t, just take this as a curated TBR list for you—every read on here is a good one.

Beagin is an author whose cleverness matches your own, Aquarius. Mona is cleaning houses in New Mexico when we meet her, unable to decide on a concrete path and instead turning to her invisible friend Terry Gross for advice on her bad boyfriend, Mr. Disgusting.

Looking for a novel as deeply layered as you are? Van den Berg’s surreal ”The Third Hotel” is one where nothing is as it seems at first—Clare is at a horror film conference in Havana, only to see the ghost of her dead husband greet her upon arrival. She chases this mysterious figure and gets trapped in memories of their marriage as the lines blur what’s real, what’s imagined, and whether Clare can control any of it.

Toews’ creative, detailed novel takes place over two days. Women in a colony meet in secret to decide if they should flee the community after finding out that several of the men have been drugging and assaulting women in their sleep. What seems like a simple decision (run!) turns into a nuanced, smart, and thought-provoking discussion that weighs the benefits of staying in your comfort zone and protecting tradition, or striking out on your own and forging a new community. Narrated through meeting minutes, the structure and thoughtfulness will appear to a Capricorn’s resourceful, grounded nature.

This slim novel is an unexpected, thrilling historical tale of a boy named Benjamin who is determined to protect his determined sister from a mysterious, murderous panther at all costs—the same panther that killed their mother.

Many bookworms have likely read (or at least read about) Adichie’s Americanah, but Libras will love her earlier novel that takes place before and during the Biafran conflict. Searching for balance and symmetry in your life? This novel’s multiple viewpoints and parallel timelines of before and after the Biafran war ultimately create a complete picture of how people love, fight, grow, and change in times of war and peace. For every tragedy, there is a triumph; where there’s love, there’s also heartbreak. In this book, Libras need for harmony is fulfilled.

You are a sparkling, theatrical force of a human, and you need a book that will entertain you, surprise you, and indulge your wild imagination.

Your tendency towards the interior and inner romantic makes this the perfect read to curl up with over the weekend (or on your commute, or secretly in the bathroom at work, or…). Connell and Marianne meet in high school, where he fits the mold and she does not. Yet, of course, the two are drawn to each other. Over the next several years, throughout high school and into Trinity College, they continue ebb and flow around each other as they try to connect with and understand each other—and themselves.

We see the world through her eyes and through chemistry and science filled with formulas come easy to her and make it simpler to move through her days. But she finds that in order to really move forward, she has to let go of some of the science and accept that not everything in life can be distilled into an equation.

This is the story of Circe, a shunned daughter of Zeus whose witching powers lead to her exile.
