"What's New" May YA Releases & Giveaway

May is here, school is almost out, and the wind...UGH THE WIND.  I don't know about where you are, but here I am barely able to stop myself from being blown away.  May is always hideously windy here. So yet again...another good time of year to stay inside and read :)


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 things first! The winner of March's giveaway was: Saara! Congratulations! :D

  May 2013 Releases:
Just like previous months, I've put a little l♥ve by those books that I am really anticipating---whether I can't wait to read them or I just can't wait to have my own finished copy!
