(Chit-Chat) New books #31

Okay, I am honest: I was lazy as hell during the last couple of days! But I promise to improve :D
Of course, I got some new books (ARCs and review copies) last week. Well, the ARCs are regular review copies as well by now, since the books are already published. Sometimes it sucks to live in Germany. Our post basically takes years to deliver something that was shipped from the states...
I probably should stop complaining, you guys want to know whats new in my shelf right?
