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.

Mouth-Watering Monday is a new weekly meme started by myself (Brittany) at Nice Girls Read Books. As book bloggers, we love to admire pretty covers, old and new. This meme takes the guilt out of judging a book by its cover, instead embracing it and showing off our favourite finds of the week!

You can show off one or more of your most mouth-watering covers!


Legacy by Molly Cochran
Dearly Departed by Lia Habel
Still Waters by Emma Carlson Byrne
Perfect by Ellen Hopkins

For some reason I really love the dark atmosphere and the well-placed models in Molly Cochran’s Legacy cover. The colours are quite gorgeous and unique, too. Although I don’t think I’m quite ready for another ‘boarding school magic’ book, I adore the cover. Dearly Departed and Still Waters also have gorgeous models with beautiful and dynamic colours. Lia Habel’s and Emma Carlson Byrne’s novels are on my to-read list and I can hardly wait! As for Perfect by Ellen Hopkins, I just love the smudged ink look. They’re such simple covers but somehow they’re also eye-catching. Just love them!
