What's New: April YA Release List & Giveaway

April is here! Please, can we get some April showers?? Please? So dry here and allergies are running rampant--we just need a little rain to settle all the pollen in the air. So, exciting month ahead---I'm heading to Texas in a few weeks for two very happy reasons: to attend TLA (their state library conference) and to visit my bestie, Amy, whom I haven't seen since she moved away in July! Eeeee, so excited! :D  So it's going to be a good month. For that, if nothing else LOL. Hoping to get a garden planted, hoping to get more reading done, hoping to do a bit of spring cleaning...all the fun April-type things. :)

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 giveaway was: Holly! Congratulations!!
