Episode 308 Bespoke Book Horoscopes!

New Year’s Eve! Sara had a cheese party and did diamond art for New Year’s, Nicole watched Gran Turismo and wants to be a race car driver for New Year’s, and Sal ate cheese and cookies and cookies and cheese with some surf and turf. We are movers and shakers, people.

Nicole: In 2024 Nicole will be writing her own book horoscopes but it is quite hard!! And lo and behold Book Riot1 has a book for this! So, people have three signs apparently, the sun, the rising and moon sign. The sun sign is personality, habits and instincts, your all time favorite books and genres. Your moon sign is what guides your internal life when you are alone, your comfort books. And your rising sign is how you portray yourself to others. Each sign is one of 4 elements, air, water, earth or fire. For Aries, fiery of fire signs and sore losers, Nicole picks Killers of a Certain Age2 by Deanna Raybourn for Sal. For the best sign, the Virgo’s, the maidens and hardest workers of the zodiac, Nicole suggests Nothing Ventured3 by Jeffrey Archer.

Sara: The MCPL movie list!!! It’s very short and quick this month: The Holdovers4 with Paul Giametti and Thanksgiving5 by Eli Roth. But we do discuss the Golden Globe nominees and we do have some of the nominated films and shows at the library. One more reminder, anything on Netflix is usually not available on DVD for a while.
