Books to Read for Taurus Season

Taurus is an earth sign, which is fitting considering it begins right around Earth Day. Tauruses can be grounded, loyal, and dependable, which also means they can be stubborn or hard-headed. They revel in the physical and material experiences of the world, seeking enjoyment through all five senses. They take physical comforts and wellness very seriously.

Taurus season runs from April 20th until May 20th. Whether you’re a Taurus or not, we’ve got you covered with a list of YA books to read all season long! With their loyal and earth-loving personalities, these characters would fit right in with fellow Tauruses.
