Always fun to see what your birth date might represent! My family and I enjoyed reading each others date and remarking about which parts were true.
Thank you NetGalley & Quarto Publishing Group – Wellfleet Press for sending this book for review consideration.
Cute book with detailed explanations about the importance of the day in question, and a bit of history as well. All together was a very nice book and I really enjoyed learning about my own birthday as well as others.
I’m not an astrology person, but I was intrigued on what the book was about. The book is beautiful. It could be that I don’t know much about the subject, because I just wanted to know what my friends and family birthdays had to say. Not many of my friends personality matched the book. I was impressed mine was spot on.
Thank you NetGalley for allowing to read this book.

This was spot on accurate for everyone in my family! We all enjoyed sharing the birth days with each other. I find this type of stuff very interesting and think it would make a fun birthday gift for anyone.
Listen...I am not an astrology girly. I like to look at my sign (Sagittarius) when I see astrology things and have a little chuckle and roll my eyes when it's incorrect but.
After this book, I might be an astrology girly?
Honestly haven't felt this called out in a long time. And then I went through and looked at friends' and family's birthdays and....it was haunting.
Of course, astrology is not an end-all-be-all, and I did find a couple that were just so-so in their observations, but so much of what I read spooked me out and, lowkey, I am considering buying a physical copy of this book.
I immediately flipped to the birthdays of myself and several others I know intimately, and almost none of what was written for each date resonated. Furthermore, even had it been accurate, the “information” included was too general and brief to be of use in understanding oneself or others. For those serious about understanding themselves and their loved ones, I advise doing your birth chart, either with a reputable astrologer or by using an online calculator—the information will be much more detailed and useful.
The Complete Book of Birthdays is a concise and accessible exploration of horoscopes and birthdays. Written by Clare Gibson, the book offers a well-rounded understanding of astrology's role in our lives. While it serves as a great introduction, those seeking advanced techniques may need additional resources. Overall, The Complete Book of Birthdays would be a cute gift for anyone interested in the astrology that goes as personal as into the significance of our birthdays.
This is fun! I don’t know a lot about astrology so I appreciated the history in the book. I think this would be a great gift for those interested in astrology in any way.
This is a beautifully produced book full of interesting information. I liked that I could read a specific horoscope on my birthday.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of “The Complete Book of Birthdays - Gift Edition” by Clare Gibson. All opinions are my own.
I’ll admit I’m not that knowledgeable about astrology. I have always felt a strong connection to my birthday and sun sign though so I am very open to learning. I like that this book had information about the history of astrology. Also the page on my birthday read like a page from my own diary. For comparison, the birthdays before and after were totally opposite of me.
As the title recommends, this would be a great gift for someone who is interested and astrology and wants to learn more.
