April had one birthstone: Diamond.

This one’s usually a little tougher for me, but this time around I didn’t really have any trouble. Anyway, I always go with white book covers, or at least have a fair amount of white on them.

Birthstone Book Covers: November 2025

Ugh. Here I am, crashing in at the literal eleventh hour with this post. November has not been my month this year, and I’m not sure why. I gotta do better next month. Anyway, here I am in the last few minutes of the last day of November with my Birthstone Book Covers contribution for the month. (Edit: Hnnng, it didn’t post when I told it to again! So here I am, back posting it like an idiot. Ugh, 2025 is just the worst!)

November has two birthstones – Topaz and Citrine. So yellow, gold, and yellow-orange are the colors!

Birthstone Book Covers: October 2025

Hey everyone and Happy Halloween!! 🎃👻

I’m barely making it, but I’m determined not to miss a month for my favorite monthly post. (This month has been very difficult for me, unfortunately.) So here’s Birthstone Book Covers for October 2025.

October has two birthstones – Opal and Tourmaline.

This month is sometimes difficult for me, and so many of the covers I end up picking end up being romance novels. I guess that’s what happens when the birthstones of the month are mostly pink and white (I’m not gonna get into opals – they’re weird and complicated when it comes to this kind of post). So I light pink and bright pink covers again.

Rules:

Birthstone Book Covers: June 2025

It’s a bit later in the month than I usually get to it, but I’m here again participating in another Birthstone Book Covers!

June has three birthstones – Alexandrite, Moonstone, and Pearl.

June is one of the harder ones for me, for whatever reason, even though you can do a lot of different things with June birthstone colors. There’s teal of course, for alexandrite, and there’s also white for moonstone. But pearls are also iridescent, so they’re kind of rainbow. So yeah, lots of options. I’m basically going the pearl route this time around, so it’ll be colorful covers galore.

Rules:

**A Thousand Nights** **by E.K. Johnston**

**The Gilded Mirror** **by K.E. Barden**

**A Letter to the Luminous Deep** **by Sylvie Cathrall**
