I love seeing what everybody else got in their mailboxes.

I've been busy this week trying to sort out my bookshelves which are literally overflowing.  I've been attempting to clear enough space to have a spare shelf for all my review books but it's just not happening at the moment!  The main problem I have is that I just can't stop buying more and so here are the awesome books I got this week. 

Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa

(I've seen mixed reviews of this book so I'm looking forward to checking it out for myself.  Not too keen on the cover though)

Deadly Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock

(Love the premise of this one - sounds brilliant)

Insurgent by Veronica Roth

(I was so excited when this book arrived that I wanted to start reading it immediately)

I'll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloan

(A debut novel which looks like it could be a sweet love story with a twist)
