Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
Katoptris
Katoptris asked Rick Riordan:

Hi, Mr. Riordan! I'm a fan of your books and I'm liking the show. I enjoy the humor in them both. I have a question that I don't think has been answered yet: Have you ever noticed that Rachel Elizabeth Dare's intials spell out the word 'Red'? If so, did you do that on purpose? Is it because she has red hair? Thanks!

Rick Riordan That was actually a total accident. Maybe I did it subconsciously? I don't know!

Hi! I started reading the Percy Jacskon books this year after watching the show and i completed both the olympian and the heroes of olympus series i couldn't keep them down (except maybe the lost hero) so just wanted to say the book are sooo good i love them with all my heart. I'm curious if you could do anything about 'Labyrinth' by taylor swift being played in season 4 of the show?

Isobel Miller asked Rick Riordan:

Some time ago, I heard about alternative versions of some of your later books with any and all LGBTQ+ material removed, for instance, Nico isn't gay and he and Will don't get together. As appalling as the idea is, I'm actually kind of curious about it, and I was wondering, do you know anything about it?

Hello Uncle Rick! I've heard that many people start writing by trying to imitate their favorite authors' writing styles. Did you ever try doing that when you started to write? Who were your favorite authors?
