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!
April’s birthstone is diamond, and who doesn’t love a little bling?
According to gia.edu:
Diamond forms under high temperature and pressure conditions that exist only about 100 miles beneath the earth’s surface. Diamond’s carbon atoms are bonded in essentially the same way in all directions. Another mineral, graphite, also contains only carbon, but its formation process and crystal structure are very different. Graphite is so soft that you can write with it, while diamond is so hard that you can only scratch it with another diamond.
Also worth noting: Diamond is the April birthstone, but also the gem that marks the 60th and 75th wedding anniversaries.

Onward to the books!
Diamond is a tricky one to find in terms of color covers… so I looked for either diamond-like cover colors or covers with actual diamonds on them!






Do you have any favorite diamond book covers to share?




These selections work really well for diamond – I would never have thought of The Knight and the Moth, but it catches the vibe!
Diamond was surprisingly difficult to figure out!
lovely
Thanks!
Loved Knight and the Moth!
I haven’t read it yet — but I do love the look of it!
Heather Webb is about to release her newest novel, called “The Hope Keeper” which is about THE Hope Diamond. It has a really beautiful cover, that would fit here perfectly.
Oooh, just looked it up — you’re right, it would have been perfect!
Great job finding some covers, and that Jenny Colgan cover is perfect😁
That’s one of her backlist books that I still need to read!
Fun!!!
Thanks!
Love all the diamonds!!
Diamonds were challenging to find!
