What's New: June YA Releases & Giveaway!!

Well hello there! It's been a few days of radio silence here at Stories & Sweeties, and this list is getting up a little late! :D Summer vacation has hit and I'm now the proud mama of a high school graduate! My son also surprised our family by not telling us that he was singing the national anthem at the grad ceremony! It was such a great surprise and I teared up just a bit! So how is your summer so far?? Not too hot, I hope? Half the book community is away at BEA and I am so, so jealous! Although I will be attending ALA in Anaheim in just a few short weeks and I am thrilled to be going for the first time! More on that later...

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!

First off, the winner of May's giveaway was: Graceful Lily. Congrats! :D
