Your Audiobook Horoscope: Capricorn
Ambitious, determined, and goal-oriented, you’ve most likely encountered a Capricorn in your work career. Typically associated with structure and discipline, they’re filled with wit and wisdom. They can even be a bit mischievous once they let loose of their pragmatic urges. Dolly Parton, a perfect example of a Capricorn idol, would most likely recommend books that touch on career-oriented women such as Confident Women by Tori Telfer, or captivating novels of historical fiction such as Jane and the Year Without a Summer by Stephanie Barron, and then round it out with a humorous take on a serious topic like Michael Arceneaux’s I Don’t Want to Die Poor. Afterall, she might be known for working 9 to 5 but she’s always the light of the party. Find more on the Libro.fm blog!
