Hello friends, I’m back today with another month’s edition for The Birthstone Book Covers series created by one of my favourites, Leslie. 💜 She began this at the start of 2022 and it was born out of her curiosity about birthstone colours. It’s fun to show different book covers/titles corresponding to that month’s birthstone. 🙂

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


April’s birthstone is the diamond. Last year, I chose books that captured all shades of the diamond but this year I’m doing it a little differently!
I was inspired by Leslie who was inspired by Tessa to pull books off my shelf that could fit this prompt! I decided to keep it simple(r) and picked six white/silver spines as picutred below.
This was fun and I can’t wait to see how I can do it for other months! 😊


On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones
Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar
Book of Night by Holly Black
Becoming by Michelle Obama
The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

And that’s it for the April diamond! I’m so excited to try making a stack from the books already on my shelf for my birthstone month in May!

There’s something really classy about the way the silver/white spines all look together.

I love the subtle contrast as well! I wanted to alternate more silver in there but sadly, I only had these two silvers in hardcovers.

I have read none of these, but that’s one eye-catching picture.

You wouldn’t think white or silver covers would look good, but that is a stunning image, Dini.

Thanks, Leslie! It was super fun to pick out from my physical shelf. I can’t wait to do one for our birthday month but I also think I might struggle cos I don’t think I’ve got a lot of greens 😂

Same!! I’m going to try and pick those out this week. The TTT is random books on your shelf too. So, going to try and do both at the same time so I don’t forget. haha
