Hey bookworm friends. Happy August 🌞! I’ve been seeing Leslie’s meme of ‘Birthstone Book Covers‘ going around and thought it looked like fun. So I decided it would be the perfect way to kick in my birth month! Happy Birthday to all of my fellow August babies, and let’s take a look at some PERIDOT covers!
Birthstone Book Cover Rules:
- Mention the creator (Leslie @ Books Are The New Black ) and link back to her so she can see your post!
- Pick 5+ book covers that match the current month’s Birthstone.
- HAVE FUN!
- Nominate people if you want!
Peridot is for August

Since I love bright colours, I really like the yellowish green tint of the peridot. It’s vibrant and punchy, perfect for summer if you ask me 😉. But I will say it was kind of hard to find covers that are this shade of green. Plenty of other shades of green though? Easy! Too bad those are not the ones I need 😝. So I included covers that have peridot accents rather than just its main colour but I think it works. Also, I’m listing 7 titles (all tbr) because my birthday is on the 7th ✨.
I didn’t mean to include so much pink but peridot and pink is clearly a winning colour combo! 😍
1. Ordinary Saints by Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin
2. Potions & Prejudice (Moonflower Witches #1) by Tee Harlowe
3. Greenteeth by Molly O’Neill
4. Annihilation (Southern Reach #1) by Jeff VanderMeer
5. I Got Abducted by Aliens And Now I’m Trapped In A Rom-Com (Cosmic Chaos #1) by Kimberly Lemming
6. Graveyard Shift (Lana Harvey, Reapers Inc. #1) by Angela Roquet
7. The Secrets of Underhill by Kali Wallace
Let’s chat in the comments!
Have you read any of these? Or, do you know any other covers with a peridot cover?
Love these! And I wish that photo of the peridot was a necklace, I totally need it😁 Potions and Prejudice is such a great cover.
Oh my gosh, now that you say that I wish too, it would make a gorgeous necklace 😍 You have excellent taste if I may say! 😛 I agree I really like all the small elements and colour palette of Potions & Prejudice too. 🙂
I love how these covers stand out so much with the peridot colour! They’re so very pretty 😍
Thanks, Dini! Collecting these covers really made me appreciate the colour for book covers more 😀 💚
Wow Happy Birthday. What are the chances that I accidentally got to this post on your actual birthday? I hope you have a fantastic day 🥰🥰
I agree that the colours tricky. I still need to do mine and I’m hoping I have some covers that fit. That shade of pink does go wonderfully with pink though. I especially love the Greenteeth cover. I really like the sound of the P&P retelling. I like the colours of the rom com cover but premise wise it sounds a little too strange for me 😅 and I love how the green is worked around the title on Annihilation, very clever and striking.
Once again Happy Birthday and I hope you have a wonderful month 🥰
Thanks so much, Charlotte, I don’t know what the chances are but that’s some luck right there! Sorry for my late replies! I did have a great day. I am curious to see which books you picked for yours! 🙂 That Greenteeth cover always catches my attention whenever I see it! & I like the idea of that retelling too though I should prob read the OG first lol. Aha that’s fair! Some premises do sound a bit out there. Thanks again 🥰!!
I’m glad of the timing anyway as it let me wish you Happy Birthday on Instagram too 🥰 and don’t worry about it, I’m sorry for all of my late replies too. It is a very striking one, I can’t wait to finally check the story out. Oh true, same here. Although I’m really hoping I’ll finally fit that in this month 🤞
I’m not sure how I didn’t see yours!! I’m adding it to my wrap-up now! Charlotte told me about it, lol. I love your choices. Greenteeth was an amazing choice!
Ahah that’s okay, I feel like it’s easy to miss posts/mentions on here sometimes. & Thank you so much 💚. I’m so mad at myself for not having read Greenteeth yet! I almost bought it once but then I didn’t, what was I thinking? 😆
