It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve had upcoming books to talk about. But I’m finally back with more!
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa @ Wishful Endings (and was previously hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine where it was known as Waiting on Wednesday) to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. They’re usually books that have not yet been released.
This week’s book is:
Wrath of the Triple Goddess by Rick Riordan! 🐾🔥
I’m a long time Percy Jackson fan and seeing the original series continued years after still feels surreal to me. I acknowledge that book six, The Chalice of the Gods, wasn’t the best and most amazing thing ever (and ended up not loving it quite as much a few weeks after I read it), but it was still good. I’m thinking – and hoping – that this one will be the same.
Wrath of the Triple Goddess by Rick Riordan
SERIES: Percy Jackson and the Olympians #7
LENGTH: 288 pages
GENRES: Fantasy, Middle Grade, YA, Fiction
PUBLISHER: Disney Hyperion
RELEASE DATE: 24 September 2024
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
In his continuing quest to earn college recommendation letters from the gods, Percy has to pet sit the goddess Hecate’s polecat and giant mastiff during Halloween week. What could go wrong?
Rick Riordan’s newest Percy Jackson adventure is full of hilarious set pieces, a diverse cast of gods and monsters, and many other delightful tricks and treats.
Percy Jackson, now a high school senior, needs three recommendation letters from the Greek gods in order to get into New Rome University. He earned his first one by retrieving Ganymede’s chalice. Now the goddess Hecate has offered Percy another “opportunity”—all he has to do is pet sit her polecat, Gale, and mastiff, Hecuba, over Halloween week while she is away. Piece of cake, right?
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover settle into Hecate’s seemingly endless mansion and start getting acquainted with the fussy, terrifying animals. The trio has been warned not to touch anything, but while Percy and Annabeth are out at school, Grover can’t resist drinking a strawberry-flavored potion in the laboratory. It turns him into a giant frenzied goat, and after he rampages through the house, damaging everything in sight, and passes out, Gale and Hecuba escape. Now the friends have to find Hecate’s pets and somehow restore the house, all before Hecate gets back on Saturday. It’s going to take luck, demigod wiles, and some old and new friends to hunt down the animals and set things right again.
Are you looking forward to Wrath of the Triple Goddess? What other books are coming out in the next few weeks that you’re looking forward to?
As always, thank you all so much for reading and have a awesome day/night!
See ya ~Mar
