Happy Capricorn Season!! Welcome to our first sign of this series! We’ve picked books inspired by Capricorns’ perseverance, determination, and even moodiness and stubbornness.

Capricorn Booklist:


The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins
Catcher in the Rye-J. D. Salinger
Sherlock Holmes- Arthur Conan Doyle
Poe- Gareth Hines
Buffy the Vampire Slayer- Joss Whedon
The Great Gatsby- F. Scott Fitzgerald
 
We have a mix of YA Graphic Novels and Fiction, and have even included some movies on our display! Be sure to check it out in the Teenship area.
 
Here's some information to help you get to know the hardest working sign of The Zodiac! (Source)
 
Dates: ‎Dec 22-Jan 19
Symbol: Goat
Element: Earth
Colors: Black, brown, indigo, gray
 
Smart, hardworking, and fully in control of their destiny, a Capricorn will always get what they set their mind to, in both personal and professional life—no excuses. Capricorns may get a
reputation as stubborn, but they simply know what they want, and also know how they wish other people would behave.
 
Natural rule-followers, Capricorns thrive on order and love strict rules, hierarchies, and set ways to do things. Can a Capricorn think outside the box? Yes, they can, but they prefer when they have strict boundaries to constrain against—free reign can make them feel paralyzed by choice. Capricorns are great at climbing the corporate ladder, and especially adept at making (and investing) money.
 
Capricorns love family, and put a lot of stock in traditions. A Capricorn might stress themselves out trying to do everything perfectly—a Capricorn may feel like they must present a home-cooked meal every day, and would never admit to doing drive-thru or takeout. Capricorns believe presentation is everything, and their homes are usually Insta-worthy. A Capricorn sometimes is overly focused on what things look like, instead of how things feel, which could cause them to feel stifled and unhappy.
 
Capricorn needs to find a firm sense of self beyond how others perceive them, and recognize that racking up achievements is only one small part of their personality.
Capricorns are loyal friends, and have a funny and sly sense of humor when you get to know them—it is fun drawing them out of their shells. In love, Capricorn is a true partner, who is laser-focused on helping their partner find success and happiness. A Capricorn will dive into a relationship like a job, and believes that hard work can help make a bond as strong as possible. While sometimes a romantic conversation may veer toward feeling a bit like a board meeting, especially with action items and improvement plans, but if you roll with it, they have a point: Your bond will be stronger.

Stay tuned for Aquarius next month!

2019 BOOKLIST SERIES: THE ZODIAC

12/18/2018

T h e  Z o d i a c  S e r i e s
Discover the mystical world of Astrology through books!


What is the Zodiac Series?
This is a yearlong series in which a new booklist will be released each month, inspired by each sign of The Zodiac. Each book in each list is representative of the corresponding zodiac sign in some way. It may be inspired by a main character, or a central theme of the book!


What is Astrology?
Astrology is, simply put, the study of the correlation between the astronomical positions of the planets, and events on earth.

Zodiac signs refer to the 12 constellations that correspond to the different months of the year, based on the sun’s position in the sky.
E
ach different sign of the zodiac is said to have its own corresponding personality traits!


Use your birthday to find your sign from this list:

December 22 - January 19: Capricorn
January 20 - February 18: Aquarius  
February 19 - March 20: Pisces
March 21 - April 19: Aries  
April 20 - May 20: Taurus
May 21 - June 20: Gemini
June 21 - July 22: Cancer 
July 23 - August 22: Leo 
August 23 - September 22: Virgo
September 23 - October 22: Libra
October 23 - November 21: Scorpio
November 22 - December 21: Sagittarius


Sooo…. Is Astrology Fact or Fiction?

Many people dismiss and discredit The Zodiac, but we don’t care! It can be interesting to examine the validity of astrology using the signs of people in our lives! Sometimes personality descriptions can be mysteriously spot on, but other times they can be WAY off.

This series is meant to be fun and lighthearted, and not to be taken too seriously!


Where Can I Find the Zodiac Series?

We will display each sign in the teen area! Head on over to find cool facts and details, and a mood board to really help you get to know the sign!

We have QR Codes to help you find our booklists online, or just check back here for updates, and maybe a few monthly zodiac memes! :)
