Birthstone Book Covers - October 2025

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today, I'm back for my October post of Birthstone Book Covers, hosted by Foxes and Fairy Tales.  If you're new to it,  here are the rules - they're pretty simple:

1. Mention the creator (Leslie @ Books Are The New Black). 

2. Pick 5+ book covers that match the current month’s Birthstone.

3. HAVE FUN!

4. Nominate people if you want - if you'd like to do this, consider yourself nominated!

October has two birthstones which are opal (whiteish and iridescent) and tourmaline (comes in many colors including purple, pink, green, blue, red and yellow).  In alphabetical order, here are some covers that fit these that I've really enjoyed that I haven't talked about much recently.

It's Not Like It's a Secret by Misa Sugiura

Seventh Grave and No Body (Charley Davidson #7) by Darynda Jones

A Sorrow Fierce and Falling (Kingdom on Fire #3) by Jessica Cluess

This Shattered World (Starbound #2) by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
