In My Mailbox #51

A bit late this week, but it's IMM time again - as always, hosted by The Story Siren!

I only got two books this week:

REALITY CHECK by Jen Calonita
THE DIAMOND OF DRURY LANE by Julia Golding

They're both YA (one contemporary, the other historical) and another thing they have in common is that they both have GORGEOUS covers - wouldn't you agree? :) I absolutely love them and I know some of you are not too keen on those Bratzy dolls, but I think they're kind of awesome, lol.

That's it from me for this week - what did YOU get? :)
