Kindle cover of "If Wishes Were Retail" by Auston Habershaw showing a mall kiosk showing a young woman puzzling over a scroll behind a sign saying "The Jinn is IN!" Behind her is a very genie-looking genie with dark skin, a ponytail and a wiggly mustache. He has his hands on his... hips? and is wearing a polo shirt that barely fits over his enormous torso. The bottom of him is just smoke.

   Book 12: If Wishes Were Retail. No idea where I found this one. It's a fun book about a disaffected young woman, Alex, stuck with her shitty family looking for a job, any job. And she finds one... working for a genie in a retail kiosk at the mall. He's selling wishes which, of course, gets complicated really fast. He doesn't know much about the human world, and she's got big dreams about going away to college and leaving this all behind. Better than it seemed like it would be, and much funnier.
