Quick Summary
Because sometimes your reading list needs a little cosmic intervention (chaos included).
Are you having a hard time narrowing down titles? How about letting the stars guide you to your next read? Based on the general characteristics associated with each sign of the zodiac, I created a list of the genres each sign should find interesting, along with the ebooks available on Ebooks Minnesota to match.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): The Emotional Nurturer
As a Cancer, you don’t shy away from your emotions and value connections. Emotionally mature, people come to you for advice and leave with a sense of clarity. Stories rich in storytelling with complex characters that explore relationships or dynamics resonate with you. You judge a book by the number of tear-stained pages you left, either through joy, anger, sadness, or all three.
Genres: Romance, historical fiction, memoirs
Recommendations:
Dancing in the rain (Romance, fiction, loss)
Becoming Michelle Obama (Autobiography/Memoir, history)
Blood, ash, and bone (Mystery and suspense, romance)
Daughters of Arraweelo: stories of Somali women (History, African and women’s studies, social science)
The girl I am, was, and never will be: a speculative memoir of transracial adoption (fiction, prejudice & racism, identity)
La frontera: el viaje con papá / my journey with papa (Fiction, latino)
Where rivers part: a story of my mother's life (Biography/Memoir, Asian and Asian American, women's history)
Edge of the Abyss (Science fiction, adventure, romance)
The color purple (Historical fiction, suspense, African American experience)
Sure, the signs of the zodiac might not be the end-all-be-all of human personality, but they can be fun to consider. So, while you’re absorbing our sun’s rays, consider letting more distant stars lead you to your next book.
