What's New: October Releases & Giveaway!!

*Happy Sigh* It's Fall. My favorite time of year has official begun. And while it's still pretty warm where I am, I can feel a little nip in the early morning air that tells me it's autumn and the leaves will soon be turning...and that it's time to pick out Halloween costumes! :D (Hey check back Monday, I'll be announcing my Winking Witch Spooky Reads Challenge!)

So if you're new to Stories & Sweeties, here's a little run-down of this feature: at the start of each month, I do a little thing called the "What's New List & Giveaway" where you'll find a full list of the new releases in YA for the month, and entry to the giveaway. At the end of each month, one lucky winner will get to choose any new release as their prize! We have a great list again this month, so lets get to it!

First off, the winner for September is: Hayley @ The Fable Faerie!! (I love the name of her blog! :D) Congrats, Hayley!!
