Hello readers and happy August! August is such a joyous month in my family because we have numerous birthdays to celebrate including mine! I’ll be honest, growing up I hated peridot, but I’m beginning to warm to it a little as I age.
Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any peridot colored book covers so I am excited to peruse my collection and see what I find.
If you want to participate in the birthstone book cover tag these are the 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!
