Monday, February 28, 2011

March is nearly here and that means lots of amazing new Aussie young adult titles. Here is a list of what is coming out with both Australian and international release dates (if available) together with a sentence or two from their goodreads description.

Note: This post was inspired by Waiting on Wednesday over at Breaking the Spine and Books to Pine For by The Story Siren.
