Cancer
In astrology, Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac, considered as governing the period from about June 22 to about July 22. Its representation as a crab (or lobster or crayfish) is related to the crab in Greek mythology that pinched Heracles while he was fighting the Lernaean hydra. Crushed by Heracles, the crab was rewarded by Heracles’ enemy, Hera, by being placed in the heavens.

I'm having a hard time finding this book. Aeternum - my library doesn't have it in any version, it's not on audible. Looks like I'll have to buy it on Kindle if I want to read it😫

No library in my county has it and the Philadelphia Library doesn't either.
For the August bonus "read a book with royalty", I was going to choose "Spare" by Prince Harry. Just want to make sure that will work since it's more of an autobiography. Obviously has royals in it and the author is a royal too!
Mod
For the "royalty" task. Can it be that they call themselves Queen something or other all the time?

Virgo
In astrology, Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac, considered as governing the period from about August 23 to about September 22. It is represented as a young maiden carrying a sheaf of wheat.

Read a book with a character that is or becomes pregnant.

I just started a book with a pregnant character - yeah!
Mod
Perfect timing!
Oh no that's pretty much one of my most hated tropes xD

Haha! Well, maybe you'll find one that doesn't make the pregnancy a main plot point? There just happens to be a pregnant person hanging around, lol!

Scorpio
In astrology, Scorpius (or Scorpio) is the eighth sign of the zodiac, considered as governing the period from about October 23 to about November 21. Its representation as a scorpion is related to the Greek legend of the scorpion that stung Orion to death (said to be why Orion sets as Scorpius rises in the sky). Another Greek myth relates that a scorpion caused the horses of the Sun to bolt when they were being driven for a day by the inexperienced youth Phaeton.
