I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
To be honest, I am normally not one into almanacs or horoscopes (though I do like to read them sometimes just for fun) but I just couldn’t resist this book. My curiosity was sparked. I was curious to find out if I could find out more about my birthday.
I will be writing this one as I read. So it may be a bit chaotic, it may be a bit messy, but this is how I want to do it.
I starts off with an introduction, to which I could say no to 2 of the 3 things mentioned there. What the everloving cookie is a Celtic Tree sign? You also get a birth flower? Hold on? Planning your birthday based on your zodiac sign (people do that?).
After that book is split up in various chapters starting with All About Me, which explains all about zodiac signs, flowers, birth numbers, and everything else. Next up is Month by Month which tells us about events and activities that happen in the those months. Lastly we have Birthday Trivia which is pretty self-explanatory. Trivia of Birthday things all over the world and fun facts.
Haha, I had such a big laugh at the friend or foe part on the first part. I have been and am best friends with a Pisces (and also dated one), I have been best friends with a Capricorn for years. Both are in the Green aka NOPE NOPE RUN AWAY category. I am currently married to a Virgo (which is pink). So I definitely shook my head at that one. Apparently as an Aquarius there is no zodiac sign that I could be best friends for life with, now that is freaking sad. WOW.

Just about everything you need in one spot! It is really fun to compare your data with that of your family members and friends. The second half of the book is fun and unexpected. The content is broad, so it is a great starting point for people who want to research on their own and dig deeper. This is a wonderful book to have alongside a book of names... Did I mention it is beautifully made?!
