Birthstone Book Covers: May 2025

Hey everybody, it’s been a few days. Happy Saturday – I hope everyone’s enjoying their weekend so far! It’s that time of the month again!

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.

May use one birthstone – Emerald. So the color of the month is green!

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!

**The Lightning Thief** **by Rick Riordan**

**The Runaway King** **by Jennifer A. Nielsen**

**The Inheritance Games** **by Jennifer Lynn Barnes**

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

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

See ya ~Mar

Top Ten Tuesday: Books with the Word “Thief” in the Title

Hi everybody! It’s pretty late at night here, but there’s still time for a Top Ten 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 with the Word “[Insert Word Here]” in the Title. Basically, just pick a word and then find ten books with the word you chose in the title. The word I chose – as you can already tell by the title of this post – is “Thief” (or its plural form), a word I see a lot in titles of books. (Can you tell that The Stardust Thief has been on my mind lately because of the sequel?)

So without further ado, here are ten novels with the word “Thief” in their titles!

The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke
The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch
Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick
The Thief Queen’s Daughter by Elizabeth Haydon
Thief’s Covenant by Ari Marmell
The Spirit Thief by Rachel Aaron

What word did you pick for your post? Which words have you noticed tend to be in book titles?

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

See ya ~Mar
