What's New? December YA Release List & Giveaway

Aaaand, I'm back :) Wow, I missed this blog during the month of November!  NaNo was a fun experience, but I'm glad to be back to reading and blogging!  And its holiday time again, my dears!! Hope all my state-side friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving and not too many were left with Turkey belly! :D  I love this time of year...hopefully I'll have my Christmas decorations up by today in our yard. I love the lights and sweets and holiday wishes and the music!!! As for the books, the list is always a little shorter as the publishing world slows down for the month, but there are still some great titles I'm looking forward to!

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 November giveaway was: Caroline F.! Congratulations!!
