Chinese New Year Book Match

Chinese New Year Book Match

Your Book Match for Chinese New Year

I loved creating this post to help you find your Chinese New Year Book Match. The Chinese New celebration lasts from January 22, 2023 to the Lantern Festival on February 5, 2023 so we’re right in the middle of the festivities. As I was reading the history of the Zodiac signs and traits from the different years, I thought how fun it would be to match each sign with a character from my books. As I did, I was excited to see revisit all the diverse personalities of my characters. I love them all but they definitely each have their own unique characteristics, just like us.

So find your year and discover which book character is your Chinese New Year Book Match.

Zodiac Sign Traits, Personalities, and Book Character Matches

Year of the Rat – People born in the year of the Rat like saving and collecting (like us book hoarders). They are organized and conservative. They tend to be sensitive to things in their environment and thoughtful in their choices. Amanda from Is This Me? is your character match because she is down to earth, a planner, and sensitive to the needs of others around her.

Year of the Ox – People born in the year of the Ox are hard workers with a strong sense of responsibility. They are patient and tend to be quiet (maybe like some of us introverted book readers). If they have challenges, they work through them with slow perseverance. Jude from Kingdom of Honor is your character match because he makes decisions and follows his goals to completion.

Year of the Tiger – People born in the year of the Tiger are independent and confident. They like leading and tend to be protectors. They love justice and will fight for what they believe is right even if sometimes it is a bit reckless (don’t mess with their books). Jema from Lovelock Ones is your character match because she is always ready to take action for her cause.

Year of the Rabbit – This is your year! People born in the year of the Rabbit are gentle, quiet, and polite. They tend to be intelligent and trendy. They choose love partners wisely and when they find the right person (or book), will love them passionately. Camille from Kingdom of Darkness is your character match because she is a natural healer. She is slow to warm up to you, but once she does, you’ll have a friend forever.

Year of the Dragon – People born in the year of the Dragon are spirited and love adventure and romance. They tend to be creative and pay less attention to everyday worries. If they find their passion (like books), they will pursue it vigorously. Titania from To be a Fae Queen is your character match because she is feisty and all in when she decides on a path.

Year of the Snake – People born in the year of the Snake are idealists. They seem aloof until you get to know them and then they’ll be your best friend for life. They are devoted, determined, and want to understand people and their motivations. And oh, they don’t like sharing, so keep your paws off their books. Alena from Kingdom of Embers is your character match. Her half vampire temperament can seem bristly at first but stick around for the gooey center of her personality.

Year of the Horse – People born in the year of the Horse never give up (yes, they are finishing that book in one sitting). They are positive and energetic. They love their freedom and self-expression. They love doing lots of different things. Chloe from Perfect and Perfect Always is your character match. She is always striving to achieve and forever the optimist.

Year of the Goat – People born in the year of the Goat have a pure, kind heart. They’d rather suffer in silence than bother another. Even in silence, they are steadfast in their beliefs and will do almost anything to achieve their desires. They are skilled at persuasion. Anne from Kingdom of the Damned is your character match. She’s the strong silent type, but you don’t want to be on the wrong side of her judgment.

Year of the Monkey – People born in the year of the Monkey tend to be driven by their interests. If they find a passion project, they’re all in. They are curious and have endless energy. They are natural care takers. Bree from As Close to Perfect is your character match. She gives her all to things she’s passionate about and you can count on her to be the shoulder to cry on.

Year of the Rooster – People born in the year of the Rooster can sense what others are thinking and feeling. They have high emotional intelligence and make great leaders as well as friends. They can be creative but tend to be planners. Hunter from Kingdom of War is your character match. He is very perceptive and assumes his role as leader of the witches without hesitation.

Year of the Dog – People born in the year of the Dog are conservative and just. They are loyal and rule followers, until it comes to someone they love and then they tend to be willing to overlook mistakes. They crave a simple life (of books and more books). Zack form Deepest Scars, Strongest Hearts is your character match. He’s the guy next store, the one who will always be in your corner.

Year of the Pig – People born in the year of the Pig think logically and can solve any problem. They’re good communicators. They are kind and like to provide for loved ones. But don’t touch their books because they can get very passionate about their things. Nina from Drops of Sunshine is your character match. Her campers have a secret, and she is definitely going to figure out what it is.
