This made me think I got it. Lol.

Then I see Meredith’s emojis. 😂 I’m dead.

You once set out to help others find their perfect partner. It would be a paw showing if you missed this chance for yourself. Trust your instincts. And if you can't trust those then maybe look to one of three options for a solution to this dilemma.
The stars of Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius shine brightly in your night sky.

Could Scorpio be considered a retelling?

I mean one of the books mentioned was correct, out of the 87 attempts XD

oh that was cold Allison. hahaha

She's covered in congealed spaghetti, what do you expect XD

I'm going to guess then that Leo is Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson?

Since that was the one you pointed out in my personal horoscope and I did indeed give it 5 stars?!

Listen, this is not my fault. I do not function well with the unknown.

I need help people!

I was just about to ask if you've gotten any sleep? :D

(Not a clue.)

yeah i'm on vacation this week. prepare yourselves. haha

Oh noooo, you'll need a vacation *after* this, not during! XD

Okay last one because i'm driving myself crazy. And I'm still not convinced that the *one* book out of 87 attempts is not Between Two Thorns... lol


is Pisces: Shark Heart by Emily Habeck

🌠🌠🌠

If you listened to the nonexistent audiobook more than once.

There are three books listed in the poll now (hover over the astrology name to see them)

I misread Allison’s comment. Lol. I think she meant the one single one I guessed correctly rather than the 86 I guessed wrongly. 😂

So two nights ago I gave you a clue.
You're taking too long! Here's clue number two:

A book's on the shelf, or actually two?
A magical one, and a bender, too.

We're a club of two genres after all.
We cover both sides of the SFF wall.

A choice will decide, will two become three?
Both sides have their ups and downs, that's key.

The two.. maybe three authors that seem to fit this best are:
Jo Walton (Just City for Bender, and Among Others for Magical)

Claire North (Touch for Bender and Fifteen Lives of Harry for magical?)

Cathrynne M. Valente also has two on the shelf (Deathless and In the Night Garden which is branded as Science Fantasy in the genre tags)

Other authors that also have two but don't seem to fit as well: Sheri Tepper, Diana Wynne Jones, Barbara Hambly, and Robin Hobb. T. Kingfisher also has two on the shelf, at a glance both seem pretty firmly in the magical/fantasy category but maybe someone better versed can take this and run with it....

ETA: also Rivers Solomon has two, one in SF and one in Fantasy but i don't think their other book The Deep is long enough for consideration.

Editing again to add: okay there's more than that, but this is what I came up with based on what I know about Anna and also on books eligible for nomination.

Sagittarius
(view spoiler)[ What Moves the Dead (hide spoiler)]
or (view spoiler)[ Nettle & Bone (hide spoiler)]

Is Scorpio (view spoiler)[ Vampires of El Norte (hide spoiler)] (sorry no link I’m on the app)

Taurus (view spoiler)[ The Immortalists (hide spoiler)]

Haha what is it about Immortalists that it comes up every year for mod madness? 😂

Scorpio (view spoiler)[ The Water Outlaws (hide spoiler)]

Water is only legal here

Evidently we should be reading Immortalists

It should just be In every poll until we succumb.

XD

This is an interesting idea!

I`m Virgo so SF guesses:

(view spoiler)[ Hyperion (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[ Leviathan Wakes (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[ The Day of the Triffids (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[ Orphans of the Sky (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[ Pandora's Star (hide spoiler)]

May I have a personalized profile? :D

a guess for Virgo (view spoiler)[ The Tea Master and the Detective (hide spoiler)]

When reaching for the stars, don't forget to consult the constellation. Share your calculations with the world for them to take effect.

I'm back with my official guess for Gemini: My Real Children by Jo Walton

🌟🌟🌟🌟

A couple more guesses:

Scorpio: The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher by E.M. Anderson

Taurus: The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland

Aquarius: Flux by Jinwoo Chong

Are you gonna guess all the books I didn't use last January? :P

Anna wrote: "Are you gonna guess all the books I didn't use last January? :P"

Yes. Before we're done I'll have guessed all the books on goodreads.

Haha

This is driving Sarah bonkers 😂

Michelle wrote: "This is driving Sarah bonkers 😂"

Who me? No, no, this is totally normal behavior. ;)

If we ever need to distract Sarah while we steal her book hoard, all we need to do is give her a book puzzle!

😂😂.

You can’t have my precious though.

Those are great guesses Mihai but 4/5 are already on the shelf and we try not to duplicate

Capricorn: The Salvation Gambit by Emily Skrutskie

Mostly because I want to fit it somewhere. 😂

Well yeah, it has an MC named Hank. Must be good 😃

Water ���, Fire ���, Earth ���, Air ��, all in perfect balance.

Taurus: What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez

I think we must be better guessers in the SF category (3 books) vs the Fantasy category (1 book)

We need more (fantasy centered) cryptic hints...

I’ve asked Allison and Ryan to do clues for their fantasies. As in the fantasy books they picked, not anything unsuitable for delicate sensibilities 😅

(You’ve guessed two of mine.)

Anna! very spicy this week haha

Special Black Friday Horoscope:

Today, with Sagittarius ascendant, Anna's spiciness is understood, given the name of the reigning book of this part of the sky.

Not seasonally appropriate, but it appears that Leo, by some strange alchemy, is presently within reach. it reminds us that we can always make our own way in life, and that people who tell us who they are should be believed.
