This week's Waiting on Wednesday book is...
Title: The Forbidden Wish
Author: Jessica Khoury
Publisher: Razorbill
Publication date: February 23rd 2016
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.

Reasons for why I'm excited for this book:
1) I am seriously cover-lusting so many books now. The original cover of The Forbidden Wish was already gorgeous as heck but the newer one is beautiful too! The play on colors and gradients make the cover so alluring. I 101% approve.

2) Loosely based on "Arabian Nights"??? Yes. Please. I am already so there. (Genies! Wishes! Betrayal! Drama! Romance! And a guy named Aladdin, you can only go right with this combination.) Also, I am super loving Jessica Khoury's Pinterest page for The Forbidden Wish, it is glorious. Check out its prettiness HERE. The aesthetics are just adding to my excitement for the books.
3) One of my mottos in life is: Trust in Maas. So when Sarah J. Maas tells me that a book is "... a rare, glittering jewel", I am definitely going to listen. (Now, gimme.)

Ooh nice! Excited for this one too! Thought this old cover was really pretty with its pastels as well, but the new cover is just as pretty too! Didn't fall deeply in love with this cover like I have with other ARCs in the past!
