What's New: January Releases & Giveaway!!

HOLY COW, where did 2011 go? I can't believe it's already 2012 , and I hope everyone has some great goals and resolutions to reach for this year! I know I do, in life and regarding this blog! So excited for 2012, because it's going to be an incredible one as far as the YA book world is concerned!

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! After the relatively small list of books that were pubbed in December, January is here to pretty much take our breath away!! :D

First off, the winner of December's giveaway was: Chen!! Congrats, Chen!
