Sagittarius

Off on another adventure, Sagittarius? Don’t worry, we have all the accessories a reader on the go needs: a tumbler for your caffeinated drink of choice, a tote bag for library and bookstore hauls, and a bookmark to save your place.

Earth Signs

Taurus

Taurus, you’re fiercely loyal to the books and authors you love. This five-star 3D-printed bookshelf decor can give your faves the spotlight they deserve, as can this personalized stamp or embosser. Meanwhile, this bookmark is great for when you want to step outside of your comfort zone and explore a new genre!

Virgo

Analyze, organize, and prioritize—we know what you’re about, Virgo! For you, we have sticky tab bookmarks for all of your annotation needs, genre signs to create the library of your dreams, and a basket to house your TBR.

Capricorn

Once you set your mind to something, there’s nothing you can’t accomplish, Capricorn. To help you hit all of your reading goals this year, try these TBR cards (which can come with prompts or be blank to create your own!), a reading habit tracker bookmark, and this shelf sign to show off how many books you’ve read.

Air Signs

Gemini

Geminis and e-readers are a match made in heaven: E-readers allow Geminis to lean into their spontaneous nature and bounce between reads. To make your mood reading easier, try a grip for holding your e-reader with ease, a sleeve to protect it on the go, and of course, a sticker featuring your favorite genre.
