About Me
My name is Brittany and I'm a 23 year old girl living in Australia. I'm currently studying at University and majoring in writing and literature. I also work as a graphic artist for a local media company. I'll pretty much read anything, but I like Young Adult books the most, especially ones that contain anything supernatural, paranormal or historical. I've been an avid reader all my life and don't plan on changing that any time soon.

Wow, it’s been a while since I did an IMM post. I haven’t done once since early December. Well, I’ve certainly gotten a whole lot of books since then – mainly from publishers – so I thought I’d share them with you before the pile is added to any more! Some of them already have reviews, too!

This post is a little late this week – eek! Anyway, I’m super excited about all the books I got this past week, especially Tiger’s Curse, because I’ve been waiting for that one for YONKS. I finally purchased The Body Finder and Unearthly, too, after so many rave reviews and recs. Jumping on the bandwagon! I’m still yet to read Lament by Maggie Stiefvater, but I’m sure I’ll love them because her Shiver series is one of my absolute favourites. As for the Heist Society series, this is another one I’ve been meaning to check out! I’d like to thank the amazing publishers who sent me books this week – seriously, you make post time SO fun :)
