Happy August!

As always, more in depth horoscopes below the cut

Aries: This month you're as active as ever. You're great at communicating your thoughts, feelings, and passions. This also may be a month with plenty of changes and uncertainty, but you push past it and meet it well. The biggest issue for you this month, is that with all this work you may be ignoring your own self care and nurture. Read a book about someone feeling disconnected from their future, and making a decision for themselves.

Taurus: August has you shaken a bit from your more grounded, stubborn nature. You've got more free thought and free spiritedness, and you're good at planning on the fly. However, you're going to find it hard to get too invested or curious about anything, and you're also going to have distance from your mind and heart in ways that make you avoidant of your own pain or vulnerabilities. Try a book about running into a wall before the deed is done.

Gemini: This month you're feeling confident, and meeting each transition with ease and without being dragged back by any bias or past emotions. You find compromises easily right now, and are going to meet some strong emotional growth. However, you'll have issues thinking towards the future. You've got problems with goals and dreams, making plans, and finding something to hold your interest. Pick up a book about someone coming into a leadership role and finding themself running into a block.

Cancer: August finds you looking inward. You're focused on preparation of self, bettering yourself and working on who you are and how you want to be seen. As you find confidence and footing, you'll also find yourself free spirited, and with big ideas and inspirations. Try a story of someone learning to care for themselves the way they’ve cared for others.

Leo: You've got a good ability to deal with new plans and transitions, and to communicate your needs and ideas this month. You're finding strength and your own abilities in what makes you vulnerable, or where you're sensitive. Your biggest hurdle is feeling free, and getting out of rigid ideas/plans. You need to break away! You've got some problems connecting with your own goals and the plans that leads to them. Read something about someone stuck in a mode of action, unable to think of the rest they need.

Virgo: This month is a supercharge to your Virgo energy, with the sun and your ruling planet both in your sign! Your ability to connect to others, and your willingness to transition into something new are going to be strong, and will be used. You're also confident this month, happy to compromise, and the hiccups you do meet will bring emotional growth. However, you're focused on the present tense. You'll find it hard to get invested in anything for long, make goals, or make plans. Try a story about finding where powerlessness can be overturned, and where you need to pull back and trust the universe.

Libra: This month has you spontaneous, thinking outside of the box, and easily going with the flow. You've also got an extra burst of your Libra energy, leaning you closer to harmony and compromise. Mercury in your sign has you doing well with your professional connections, and communication/bargaining. However, this isn't a month of personal growth- you're shying away from things you're more sensitive about, and it'll be hard to get personally interested in anything. Read a book about someone, adrenaline still racing from the past, finding discomfort in the quiet and less active.

Scorpio: August is a month full of ease for you, Scorpio. You're lucky in love- romantic and otherwise- and good with others. Your connections, the ones you make now and the ones you already have, get a focus now, and you can communicate with them well. You need a book with big emotions, and big choices.

Sagittarius: This month sees you struggling a little. This whole month isn't a struggle, but you are going to run into problems with your self image or self esteem, and have issues communicating and connecting with others. Focus inwards to untangle it! Try a book with lower stakes- less epic, more down to Earth. Something about bringing goals or desires together, and finding a place and/or direction for them.

Capricorn: Your usual ambitious nature is going to take a backseat this month, Capricorn. You’re in a much less active state in July, and less connected to others or your own interests/loves. Just let things move in the direction and at the time things are going! You need an epic book full of harmony, strength, love, and change.

Aquarius: While August may have you feeling disconnected from others, you're still lucky in love- supported by those around you, and invested in the things you care about. You have strong emotions leading to out of the box thoughts and inspirations, and are incredibly motivated and passionate. Your greatest hurdle this month is your pride. Right now you need a book about a bad or imbalance relationship, and seeing truly what you can and cannot fix.

Pisces: This month you run into problems communicating, connecting with others, and connecting with love. Your curious nature may prevail, but it might be hard to spark a real interest in anything, or get anyone else involved. Read a book about over exerting one’s power to try to get into a less unsatisfying or stifling situation.

Reading Roundup: January 2020

Favourite > A Constellation of Roses: Miranda Asebedo - A lovely story about family with some magical realism. It was very easy for the characters and setting to become familiar which made it a good story to fall into and want to stay there.

Least Favourite > Dear Heartbreak: Various - The idea for this anthology of advice column-like letters answered by YA authors seemed pretty cool, but it ended up being very repetitive. All of the answers were about loving yourself etc. etc. I probably also should have thought about the fact that I have very little patience when it comes to romance/relationships before picking up this book to be honest.

And we stay that way, the three of us tangled together in my hospital bed, letting the steady beeping of my heart be the only song we need.

Tuesday’s Treats is a weekly blog post dedicated to newly released books that I’m most excited for. (Books are in no particular order.)

All books featured this week will be released: SEPT. 18th (1 of 2)

1. Unbroken: 13 Stories Starring Disabled Teens: Marieke Nijkamp (goodreads) (book depository)

Own voices anthologies are coming out of the woodwork this year, and this one is going to be great. Disabled characters is one of the least represented voices out there, and I’m glad that this book is just the stepping stone to more stories and novels like this one.

YA Anthology, Short Stories; Farrar, Straus, and Giroux/Macmillan, Hardcover (US)

2. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle: Stuart Turton (goodreads) (book depository)

Evelyn Hardcastle will die every day at the same time until Aiden Bishop figures out who kills — killed — her. But every day Aiden wakes up in a different body of a different witness, and not all of the witnesses are particularly helpful.

This book was published earlier in the UK as The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (I don’t know why the US gets the extra 1/2, but I’ll find out once I read it, I guess), and I’ve heard nothing but great things about this mystery. I’ve been searching for ages for a mystery that will keep me on my toes and always guessing, and I’m hoping I finally found it.

Mystery/Thriller; Sourcebooks, Hardcover (US)

3. The Storm Runner (The Storm Runner: 1): J.C. Cervantes (goodreads) (book depository)

Mayan mythology? Yes please!

The Storm Runner follows Zane, a boy who would rather explore the dormant volcano near his house with his dog, Rosie, than go to middle school where the kids make fun of him because of his one good leg. What Zane doesn’t know is that the volcano is actually a portal to another world, and that he’s actually the central piece to a huge prophecy dealing with the Mayan gods, one of who just so happens to be Zane’s father.

Middle Grade Fantasy; Rick Riordan Presents/Disney, Hardcover (US)

4. Check, Please: #Hockey: Ngozi Ukazu (goodreads) (book depository)

I’ve been reading Check, Please as a webcomic for about a year now, and it’s one of the cutest and relatable comic I’ve ever read. Check, Please: #Hockey follows the first two years of figure skater-turned-hockey player Bitty’s college life at Samwell University both on and off the ice.

YA Graphic Novel, Contemporary Fiction, LGBTQIA+; First Second/Macmillan, Paperback (US)

5. The Deepest Roots: Miranda Asebedo (goodreads) (book depository)

For the past 100 years, every girl born in Cottonwood Hollow, Kansas has been born with a special talent. Best friends Rome, Lux, and Mercy all have talents that, to them, feel more like curses. Even though they’re best friends, they each keep secrets from each other that threaten to tear them apart. But over time, they may just realize that a curse isn’t a curse if you have other people to trust and friends to help you along the way.

YA Magical Realism; HarperTeen/HarperCollins, Hardcover (US)

6. Pride: Ibi Zoboi (goodreads) (book depository)

A diverse retelling of Pride and Prejudice, Zoboi’s latest novel, Pride, follows Zuri Benitez, a girl who has Brooklyn pride, family pride, and Afro-Latino pride. Zuri hates that her neighborhood is gentrifying, turning into a place that is unrecognizable to her, and when the Darcy’s move in across the street, she wants nothing to do with them. But then her sister, Janae, starts to fall for Ainsley, and Zuri is forced to spend time with the judgmental and arrogant Darius. As the two spend more time together, the two realize that they have more in common than they realized, and a strange, different, and unexpected relationship blooms.

This is the type of retelling that we’ve been missing, and I’m so ridiculously hyped for it.

Release: 18 September 2018

Everyone knows the girls of Cottonwood Hollow are peculiar. Generations ago, a wealthy settler named Emmeline Remington cursed them with strange abilities like Fixer, Siren, or Finder. For Rome Galveston and her friends, these abilities have never been anything but a burden, until they realize that their strange talents might be the key to uncovering Emmeline’s long-hidden treasure. Rome and her friends each want Emmeline’s treasure for different reasons—reasons they are keeping secret from each other. Soon, these secrets strain their friendship, and even if they do find what they are looking for, their friendship might never be the same. Contemporary fiction with a hint of magic, this heartwarming story has vivid and memorable characters, gripping drama, and a compelling voice that will keep you racing through the pages until you reach the end.

Heyyy there!! I think I'm being a bit too specific but can I get recs for books that might have the intensity of an evening stroll on a bridge with waves crashing underneath, the smell of November and it's finality thick in the heavy wind heralding a thunderstorm, the taste of the coldness crisp in your throat, the sky transitioning from a marine blue to twilight blue as it teams up with time to fall down and close in on you....??? I think songs like Run by Hozier and Cigar by Tamino instigated this craving I have got for this specific vibe, if that helps.....

The books that come to mind are:

The Gallery of Unfinished Girls

The Deepest Roots

The Love That Split the World

The Midnight Bargain

The Bird King

The Empress of Salt and Fortune
