I participated in Birthstone Books Covers for the first time in August, and now I’m hooked! Leslie at Books Are the New Black hosts this fun monthly meme — and since I love anything related to spotlighting amazing book covers, I just had to jump in.

The rules are simple:

• Mention the creator (Leslie @ Books Are The New Black ) and link back so she can see your post!
• Pick 5+ book covers that match the current month’s Birthstone.
• HAVE FUN!

September’s birthstone is sapphire. According to the American Gem Society, sapphire gemstones symbolize loyalty, nobility, sincerity, and integrity. Learn more about their history. 

Sapphire is my birthstone (yay, September!), and I’ve always loved the rich color (and love checking out sapphire jewelry of all sorts). But more importantly…

Onward to the books! Here are the sapphire book covers I’ve found on my shelves:

• Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
• The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling
• Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
• Black Woods Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey
• Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon
• The Poisoner’s Ring by Kelley Armstrong
• Fairy Tale by Stephen King

Do you have any favorite sapphire book covers to share?

Next month is Opal for October… seems like it’ll be a tricky one!
