I found this wonderful article idea on Instagram where you find books with the cover colours or titles matching your birthstone. I was born in February, so my birthstone is Amethyst!
I scoured the internet for books with purple covers or titles that relate to Amethyst, and I was surprised that there weren't as many options as I had hoped. However, I found a few interesting choices that I can't wait to read and share with others who have the same birthstone. This was a fun and creative way to discover new books that I might not have encountered otherwise. What is your birthstone? Maybe it's time to go through your shelves and the interent for a birthstone book for your next read.
