Leslie @ Books Are The New Black created a fun monthly post featuring book covers that fit the birthstone of the month.This can be the color of the cover or the color in the title.
Anyone can join, just give credit where it’s due.
The birthstone for August is the beautiful peridot. I had a lot of fun picking out some of these light green or yellow-green covers for you all. There should definitely be more covers that have this gorgeous colour.

You have so many great picks on here! I think my post this month is a flop because I struggled to find this perfect shade of peridot green! But it was still fun coming up with a list!
