Aries: The Bookstrologist Recommends

It's your turn, Aries.

You're the first sign in the zodiac and known for being a fearless trailblazer. We recommend picking up the biography about an intrepid leader you're certain to admire. Celebrate another 'first' with Ida, the life story of the woman who led the first campaign in the country against lynching. 

Often outspoken and opinionated, you're bold enough to share your thoughts on any number of topics. We think you'll appreciate the words of opinion writer and activist Lindy West in her latest book The Witches Are Coming.

You value authenticity, and Brene Brown's Daring Greatly, about how vulnerability can be transformative, will be a good fit for you.

As for fiction recommendations for rams, we think you'll be fond of the fiery and competitive young protagonists, Linu and Lila, in My Brilliant Friend, the first installation in Ferrante's popular Neopolitian novels.

Also, you may recognize yourself in the brave, impatient and daring Achilles in Madeline's Miller The Song of Achilles, a gorgeous retelling of the legend of Achilles, his love affair with Patroclus, and the Trojan war.
