• HUGE congratulations to Sajni Patel for joining the Rick Riordan Presents family with A Drop of Venom.
• It’s wins all around as Carlos Hernandez joins the Marvel comics family, too!

• It’s time to meet Dionysus—or, as he might be better known, Bacchus.
• As is the case with a few of the other gods, Bacchus’ birth was…interesting.
• We also discuss the fact that Dionysus was known as Bacchus to both the Greeks AND the Romans.
• Unfortunately for Bacchus’ aunt and uncle, Hera found out where they were, and it did NOT end well.
• Does she have any morals? Any regrets??
• Wouldn’t it be amazing if Dionysus led the meetings for the LGBTQIA+ Club at Camp Half-Blood?
• Also his superpowers are pretty awesome.
• Was Ampelos a friend or, like, a friend?
• Now we’re gonna be sad every time we eat a grape. :(
• At least Bacchus knew how to party—and his followers took it VERY seriously.
• Were any other gods worshipped to the same level as Bacchus?
• His revels were LEGENDARY—and very deadly.
• And those maenads? On another level.
• Do we feel bad for Pentheus?
• Can gods just make up powers when they need them most?
• Ariadne had a relationship glow-up when she went from Theseus to Dionysus.
• Did you know Dionysus invaded India!?
• What about Mr. D from the Percy Jackson books?
• Dionysus is one of the gods we see the most in the series.
• He’s got a lot of pretty interesting powers.
• Do you want to know more about Dionysus too?

• It’s time to jump into The Last Olympian chapter 2!
• Prophecy Count #23!
• We’re definitely curious about these Titans.
• TELL US THE PLAN, RICK.
• Under other circumstances, it would be so exciting that Percy got to visit the underwater palace.
• This is not the same Poseidon we’ve seen before.
• Rick really talks about the complexities of war in this book, and it’s only chapter 2!!
• Is Poseidon sometimes a good father?
• We legit forgot that we didn’t know the whole of the Great Prophecy yet.
• Oh, hey, don’t forget about the spy at Camp.
• Speaking of, we’re so excited to go back to CBH!

• Nicolaas tells us he likes the one chapter approach, and we’re definitely feeling it, too!
