New Book Group: Star Signs 🌌

We are thrilled to announce the second gathering of Star Signs, our zodiac-inspired book group. After the bold sparks of Aries, we are settling into the lush, steady rhythm of the Bull. Is your next great read written in the stars? Come join the conversation as we transition from fire to earth. Our Second Season: Taurus We are continuing our journey during Taurus season (April 20th – May 20th). As an Earth sign ruled by Venus, Taurus invites us to slow down and appreciate beauty, stability, and the physical world. This is a time to celebrate patience, luxury, and the quiet persistence of the soul. Our Second Read: Walking on the Ceiling by Ayşegül Savaş (2019) For our second pick, we’ve selected this elegant, atmospheric novel set in Paris and Istanbul. It is a masterclass in Taurus energy, capturing the true spirit of the Bull through its focus on memory, architecture, and the senses. Why it’s a "Taurus" Book: Taurus is an Earth sign, ruled by Venus (the planet of beauty, art, and love). Ayşegül Savaş’s narrative is anchored by that same deliberate, aesthetic, and deeply rooted spirit: Sensory & Atmospheric: Taurus lives through the five senses. Savaş’s prose is incredibly tactile, focusing on the "texture" of cities, the smell of old apartments, and the visual beauty of everyday moments. Deeply Rooted & Nostalgic: While Aries looks forward, Taurus honors what lasts. This story explores the weight of the past and the physical spaces we inhabit, embodying the Taurean desire for permanence and a sense of "home." The Power of Stillness: Just as the Bull is known for its steady, unwavering nature, this novel moves with a graceful, unhurried pace. It values the quiet observation of beauty over the rush of action, perfectly mirroring the patient energy of the season.
