Can't Wait Wednesday, which I have adapted to better suit my blog as "Feed Your TBR" is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight highly anticipated books. It is based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme which used to be hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
FROM GOODREADS: Alex Delmore needs a miracle. She wants out of her dead-end suburban town, but her parents are broke and NYU seems like a distant dream.
Good thing there’s a genie in town—and he’s hiring at the Wellspring Mall.
It’d help if the Jinn-formerly-of-the-Ring-of-Khorad knew even one thing about 21st-century America. It’d help if he weren’t at least as stubborn as Alex. It’d really help if her brother didn’t sell her out to her conspiracy theory-loving, gnome-hating dad.
When Alex and the genie set up their wishing kiosk, they face seemingly-endless setbacks. The mall is failing and management will not stop interfering on behalf of their big-box tenants.
But when the wishing biz might start working, the biggest problem of all remains: People are really terrible at wishing.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I think people are really throwing the "cozy fantasy" label on anything lately. While I don't necessarily seek them out, if one catches my attention, I will definitely give it a go. This one sounds fun but it's only available in paperback so far so I'll have to decide if I want to spend the money on it or wait for a library copy if my local ones obtain one.

WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
I love the cover on this one!!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteI like the cover and title a lot, and I can see myself enjoying this. Great pick, I love that this is new to me!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could surprise you with a pick!
DeleteI'm hoping our library system will get one at the moment. Hope you're enjoying the Lindy Ryan book. Looking forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the Lindy Ryan book. Such a fun time.
DeleteThis sounds weird but kind of fun. I only read e-books, though, so if it's only paperback I probably won't get it. Or I might check the library anyway.
ReplyDeleteI read a bit of every format but I am finding myself liking ebooks more and more.
DeleteThis sounds so funny...I love the whole idea of it. Fingers crossed my library has a copy! :D
ReplyDeleteI am hoping I don't have to break down and buy it either.
DeleteThis sounds like a lot of fun! Love the cover too. I hope your library gets a copy! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley!
