Books for Taurus Season: Slow Down & Snuggle Up
Taurus season (April 20 – May 20) is here, and you know what that means—time to slow the heck down, wrap yourself in something soft, light a delicious-smelling candle (hello Taurus Cubans & Brandy candle 👀), and dive into a book that feels like a warm hug or a luxurious escape.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, comfort, and pleasure. These earthy babes are all about sensual experiences, emotional depth, and taking their sweet time. So we’ve put together a list of reads that match the vibe—rich prose, lush settings, slow-burn romances, and stories that are meant to be savoured.
Here’s what to add to your to-be-read pile this season:
🌿 The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
A Taurus loves a hidden sanctuary, and this classic delivers. It’s all about slow transformation, nature’s healing magic, and creating beauty in your own little corner of the world.
🍷 The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
Lush, mysterious, and brimming with beautiful imagery, this is a book for readers who want to melt into a world that feels like a velvet dream. It’s meandering in the best way—perfect for Tauruses who enjoy taking the scenic route.
🧀 Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Smart, stylish, and quietly powerful. Our girl Elizabeth Zott doesn’t just break moulds—she does it while cooking dinner and owning her space. This one’s for the Taurus who’s both stubborn and soft, strong and sensual.
💐 The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles
A heartfelt historical fiction that combines a love of books, quiet strength, and the power of chosen family. Basically: Taurus in novel form.
🫖 The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking
Because no one does comfort like a Taurus. This non-fiction gem is full of cosy rituals, warm lighting tips, and the Danish secrets to living your comfiest life. Bonus points if you read it under a chunky knit blanket.
📚 The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
Soft fantasy, found family, and a gentle story that feels like a cup of tea for your soul. It's whimsical, heartwarming, and full of the kind of emotional richness that Tauruses crave.
✨ Honourable Mention: Anything by Jane Austen
Tauruses appreciate tradition and elegance, and Austen delivers both with a side of sass. Whether it’s Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion, there’s always time for a swoony slow-burn romance and some dry wit.
So, Taurus babes (and anyone vibing with the season), treat yourself to a slow afternoon, a comfy nook, and a book that’s as grounded and indulgent as you are. Don’t forget to light your Taurus candle while you read—because nothing says “I have my life together” like matching your scent to your star sign.
Happy reading, bookworms 🕯️📖✨
