Birthstone Book Covers: April 2025

Hi everyone, hope you’re all having a good week so far! Mine has been really… meh, I suppose. Like, it hasn’t been even close to the worst week I’ve ever had, but my allergies have been acting up the past few days, which has sucked. But other than that, this week’s been fine.

Anyway, Leslie @ Books Are the New Black created a fun monthly post called Birthstone Book Covers. Each month, she features book covers that are either the same color of that month’s birthstone or include the color in the title.

April has one birthstone – Diamond. Which is a precious stone that’s generally colorless on its own (though there are variations). Because of this, the general consensus for book cover color this month is white.

This also tends to be one of the harder months to do, but I honestly haven’t struggled with it yet. Famous last words, I know. So! Book covers that are mostly white, here we go!

Birthstone Book Covers: March 2025

Hey everyone, Happy Spring!! 🌸🌱🌼🌿 It’s official – yesterday was March 21st! (I also meant to post something yesterday on the actual first day of spring, but I completely forgot. And it was a Friday post too, so it’s not gonna happen now, lol.)

March has one birthstone – Aquamarine. So the color is… aquamarine. Or light blue. I actually struggled a little bit with this one for whatever reason, which is why it’s later in the month than I normally post it. But I did it!

Birthstone Book Covers: October 2024

Another month, another post about book covers and birthstones! This time it’s for October, so it’s time for some pink and white cover art.

I had fully intended to post this yesterday, but this weekend ended up getting out of control. Saturday we went to a Renaissance Faire and yesterday was a very special anniversary, so I unfortunately ran out of time. I’ve not deliberately been skipping posting on the weekends, I promise!

October has two birthstones – Opal and Tourmaline.

I ended up going with book covers that were primarily pink this time. Honestly, I struggled a little bit this time, lol. You can tell because there’s a CoHo book on the list this time. (I’m so ashamed. 😭😭 That book does not deserve to be represented here.)

Birthstone Book Covers: August 2024

Ugh. So far August has been a bit… I dunno. Anyway, I always look forward to participating in Birthstone Book Covers, so…

Leslie @ Books Are the New Black is the creator of Birthstone Book Covers. Each month, she features book covers that are either the same color of that month’s birthstone or include the color in the title.

August has one birthstone – Peridot.

Out of May and August, this is the more difficult green birthstone for me. I don’t know why really, but I’m guessing it’s ’cause I want to differentiate the two months somehow. So I usually go for darker and more grassy greens for May, and lighter and lime greens for August, the latter of which I tend to find a bit more difficult.

So this is what I got this year. (Also, somehow Cinda Williams Chima made it on here twice, lol. Mostly ’cause I’m not sure which of the last two books I chose are greener, so I just decided to put them both here.)A

Anyway…
