Today is another opportunity to play along at the Friday Face Off where you choose a book and compare the covers. Originally created by Books by Proxy). If you’re taking part I would love you to drop me a link so I can check out your cover choices. .
I’ve decided to make a couple of changes to my weekly Friday Face Off – nothing too drastic – at the start of the month, the first Friday Face Off of the month, I’m aiming to take a look at joining in with the Birthstone Book Covers meme created by Leslie @ Books Are The New Black so for the first FFO every month I will search for covers that match that month’s birthstone (from books that I’ve read) and compare them and choose a favourite. For the last Friday of every month I’m going to look at the books I’ve read that month and do the same.

Today I’m taking part in the birthstone meme as mentioned above. The rules and everything you need to know are at the bottom of the post. Now, take a look at my covers to match this month’s birthstones. I’ve chosen three for Citrine/Topaz.
Again, not sure how fitting these are but I’m sticking with them. The top three I’ve gone for mixes of orange/grey/black for Citrine and the bottom three I’ve gone with more yellow tones. Here they are:
