February 2, 2017January 10, 2017 Olivia Chanel4 Comments

Hi everyone, and welcome to my fourth week of Zodiac Book Recommendations. Every week I’m recommending books for one of the zodiac signs, starting with Aquarius and ending with Capricorn, after chronological order. This week I have three book recommendations for Taurus.

The earth beneath you is the element of Taurus, and it’s the one you should embrace this week with my book recommendations. Like every other zodiac sign, the Taurus have their strengths and weaknesses, and with these qualities in mind I have tried to find suitable book recommendations. I hope that whoever you are, whether you are a Taurus yourself or someone who knows a Taurus, you’ll enjoy these book recommendations.

For the Zodiac sign Taurus I’m recommending the following books,

Fall Like Rain by Ana Tejano. Buy here or here.
If The Dress Fits by Carla de Guzman. Buy here.
Plastic Wings by C.T. Callahan. Buy here or here.

The books I’ve chosen are ones that I think celebrate Taurus qualities in one way or another. I hope you’ll love these books, and maybe even find a new favorite. Check out my book recommendations for the other zodiac signs too. Next week I’m doing Gemini, see previous recommendations here.

He is a dark angel, one of a race of humanoid beings that feed on humanity and tear Evie’s world down around her. Years later, as humanity mounts a counter-attack against the dark angels, Evie remembers the boy in the forest and finds herself torn between her loyalty to her own people and feelings of compassion for these strange creatures that first captivated her as a child.

It is the quest of one girl to unite two worlds so separated by war, but how can she close the gap between two races so determined to hate each other?

Thank you C.T. Callahan for my copy of Plastic Wings. This book has officially become one of my new favorites and I’m truly grateful I won it in your giveaway.

Plastic Wings is one of my new favorite books, and it even sparked my love for fantasy. I’ve only been reading contemporary books for months now, and it’s so refreshing to be reading fantasy again, and one about angels too. I haven’t done that in ages. There are literally so many amazing things to highlight about Plastic Wings; the strong heroine of color that is the most relatable girl ever, the diverse cast and the epic world C.T. Callahan has created, are just a few.
