This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.
This week is the letter ‘C’ and it was a hard one to just choose one book. There are so many good books on my TBR that start with the letter ‘C’ but I think the one that I picked is the one that I am most excited for.
The Chalice of the Gods by Rick Riordan
Publication Date: September 26, 2023
Summary from Goodreads:
The original heroes from The Lightning Thief are reunited for their biggest challenge yet: getting Percy to college when the gods are standing in his way.
After saving the world multiple times, Percy Jackson is hoping to have a normal senior year. Unfortunately, the gods aren’t quite done with him. Percy will have to fulfill three quests in order to get the necessary three letters of recommendation from Mount Olympus for college.
The first quest is to help Zeus’s cup-bearer retrieve his goblet before it falls into the wrong hands. Can Percy, Grover, and Annabeth find it in time?
Readers new to Percy Jackson and fans who have been awaiting this reunion for more than a decade will delight equally in this latest hilarious take on Greek mythology.
Percy is one of my all time favorite characters and I am so glad we are getting a new adventure featuring him, as well as Annabeth and Grover. I also just love that cover. It is so fun and I am really curious about those chickens. At least I think they are chickens? I guess they could be phoenixes, but they look chickenish to me. What do you think?
