Stuck in YA Books  is so excited to participate in Berkley Bookmas and we’re hosting Chanel Cleeton t oday! Berkley Bookmas is chock full of exclusive content from authors like exclusive excerpts, deleted scenes, author recipes and more! Check out the calendar of events below: One of my favorite holiday traditions is celebrating Noche Buena.

Once the pig is ready and the other food is cooked, the party goes on into late hours of the nigh...
