Sneak Peek: The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury

Hey guys! So a little while ago, I got the chance to read a sneak peak of new novel The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury. I was super excited about this one because I’d read another book by that author a few years ago, and it was fantastic. And so, without further ado. Description: When Aladdin discovers Zahra’s

Dissonance by Mariella Hunt: Cover Reveal: The Second

Hey! So you guys might recall a time a few months ago when I particpated in a cover reveal for this lovely fantasy novel entitled Dissonance. Ringin’ a bell? Awesome.

How to Have Patience with People

Between you and me, people suck. With registration for spring classes opening up, I’ve needed some extra money for tuition fees and I picked up a temporary job at a costume shop. One thing that I’ve learned from working in retail during a holiday season is that you have to have a LOT of patience
