Can’t Wait Wednesday: When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to share upcoming book releases that we’re excited about! This meme is based on Waiting on Wednesday, which was created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

I always have such a great time with John Scalzi’s books, especially the audiobooks which really bring to life the snarky tone of the stories. When the Moon Hits Your Eye is about, you guessed it, if the moon actually turned to cheese. It’s just so… ridiculous. I love it. Anyway, I’ll definitely be picking this up and can’t wait for the March 25, 2025 release date!

From the New York Times bestselling author of Starter Villain comes an entirely serious take on a distinctly unserious subject: what would really happen if suddenly the moon were replaced by a giant wheel of cheese.

It’s a whole new moooooon.

One day soon, suddenly and without explanation, the moon as we know it is replaced with an orb of cheese with the exact same mass. Through the length of an entire lunar cycle, from new moon to a spectacular and possibly final solar eclipse, we follow multiple characters — schoolkids and scientists, billionaires and workers, preachers and politicians — as they confront the strange new world they live in, and the absurd, impossible moon that now hangs above all their lives.
