✅ 2. (8) Read a book having to do with your sign's "ruling celestial body"-- Wuthering Heights

[oshizu]

Update to msg 4

♑2. Read a book published in one of the Chinese Zodiac years of your sign.
The Mad Ship (1999, Year of the Rabbit)

I personally believe that no other fantasy author comes even close to Robin Hobb! The characters are so engaging and magical, their struggles so real, the landscapes so vivid, and the various threads of the storyline--sentient "liveships," a slumbering dragon, political intrigue, a ruler manipulated by pleasure hers, pirates who punish slaveships, and -at its core- a girl/woman who turns her back on traditional womanhood to pursue her dreams of life at sea.
5 glorious stars, and I can't wait to read Book 3 of this trilogy next month!

Progress: 7/8
Thank you for the encouragement, Trisha! I do believe I will successfully complete this challenge by November end! :D
