Birthstone Book Covers: August 2025

It’s that time of the month again! Time for one of my favorite posts.

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 gemstone in the title.

August has one birthstone – Peridot.

Rules:
📚 Mention the creator (Leslie @ Books Are The New Black ) and link back to her so she can check out your post.
📚 Pick 5+ book covers that match the current month’s Birthstone.
📚 HAVE FUN!
📚 Nominate people if you want!

Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
Weyward by Emilia Hart
The Inquisition by Taran Matharu
The Girl With No Reflection by Keshe Chow
A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin

What are your favorite books with green book covers? If you participated in Birthstone Books, which books did you choose this August?

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have the most amazing day/night!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’d Like to Re-Read

Hey, wow, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve participated in this post. Almost three months. Geez. Anyway, Happy Tuesday!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly post currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It celebrates lovely lists, wonderful books and the bookish community. This week’s topic is Books Guaranteed to Put an End to Your Book Slump. But seeing as I am in the midst of my second reading slump this year I’m not really feeling this week’s post, so I decided to go rogue.

I’m going for an easy one since it’s my first time back with this post in a while, a TTT prompt from earlier in the summer: Books I’d Like to Re-Read. Specifically, books that you enjoy re-reading or books that you’d like to re-read again at some point. I’ve decided to split this between the two: so I’ll do five books I like re-reading and five books I’d like to re-read someday.

Anyway, without further ado, let’s get going!

Book Series and Novels That I’ve Read More Than Twice

I read basically all of these back when I was a teenager. I re-read stuff a lot more back then, not only because I had more time, but also because I unfortunately kind of feel out of the habit as an adult.

  1. The Warrior Cats Series by Erin Hunter
  2. The Caster Chronicles by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
  3. Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan
  4. The Other by Thomas Tryon
  5. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Books Series and Novels That I’d Like to Re-Read in the Future

I’d like to get back into re-reading stuff again eventually. Because there are a decent amount of books and series that I would love to revisit again sometime. Here are five of them.

  1. The Seven Realms Series by Cinda Williams Chima
  2. The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells
  3. This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzi Lee
  4. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
  5. Among the Beasts and Briars by Ashley Poston

What are your favorite books/series to re-read? What books/series would you like to re-read but haven’t yet?

As always, thanks so much for reading, and I hope that you have an amazing day/night!

See ya ~Mar
