What's Your PJO Story?

Just curious ~ how did you guys get into Percy Jackson and the Olympians?

My story? It's a tale of villainy and deceit... Well, not really. But kind of. My mum bought the first book mainly for my younger brother - he's not a big reader, but when we were little my mum used to read us books at bedtime and then I'd spend an hour before I went to sleep daydreaming about the stories that were still ringing in my ears. Blame my mum for love of fanfiction, I suppose.

Anyway, mum wanted to bring back the whole bedtime reading thing, so she bought Percy Jackson because it looked fun and there were Converses on the cover, which my brothers were obsessed with. So she read us the first chapter.

Intriguing, thought I.

So I did what any other book lover would do.

I stole the book from her bedside cabinet and read it in two evenings.

My brother didn't get it back for like two years.

I bought the second book about a week later and took it to a friend's sleepover - she literally had to wrench it from my hands in order to stop me reading it; I don't think I made very good company that night! And I dragged my dad into town to buy the Titan's Curse and read it as we pushed a trolley around Tesco. Titan's Curse had only just come out in the UK when I bought it, so it was all jolly exciting.

So go on - spill. What's your PJO story?

Love,
