It’s to celebrate the Scorpios in our lives.
Scorpios, the eighth sign on the zodiac calendar, are typically born between Oct. 23 and Nov. 21. This Water sign is known for a variety of traits, including bravery, loyalty and determination.
“Scorpios are emotionally deep,” astrologist Lisa Stardust previously told PEOPLE, adding that, “They like to connect with others in a profound way, but will sting others when they are let down.”
If you’re looking for a book written by a famous Scorpio, a novel that will resonate with you emotionally or an emotionally-stirring read for the moody fall months, look no further.
