"What's New" May Releases & Giveaway!

What the...?? Guys, what happened to April?? I know its a day shorter than most months, but wow did that go by fast.   So May is here, full of birthdays and last days of school and the beginning of heat. We're already hitting the high 80's here and I'm feeling robbed of my Spring.  On the book front, though, we are heading into the Summer releases full force...this month is insane with new YA goodies.

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 April's giveaway was: Afsha! Congratulations!!
