This week's pick...

The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury 

Expected publication: February 23rd 2016 by Razorbill 


She is the most powerful Jinni of all. He is a boy from the streets. Their love will shake the world...
When Aladdin discovers Zahra's jinni lamp, Zahra is thrust back into a world she hasn't seen in hundreds of years -- a world where magic is forbidden and Zahra's very existence is illegal. She must disguise herself to stay alive, using ancient shape-shifting magic, until her new master has selected his three wishes. But when the King of the Jinn offers Zahra a chance to be free of her lamp forever, she seizes the opportunity—only to discover she is falling in love with Aladdin. When saving herself means betraying him, Zahra must decide once and for all: is winning her freedom worth losing her heart? As time unravels and her enemies close in, Zahra finds herself suspended between danger and desire in this dazzling retelling of Arabian Nights from acclaimed author Jessica Khoury.

Another fabulous retelling...yes please! So what if the market is a bit saturated right now?!? I am all for it!! Not to mention the fact that Arabian nights is a favorite of mine. I really love the whole jinni troupe. Can't wait for this one!
