'The Lightning Thief' Start-Up

Hello!
For my very first 'Books' post, I would like to start with something I love. Yep, you guessed it. One of my favorite book series of all time is the Percy Jackson and The Olympians Series. I started getting hooked to it since August 2011 and I have been following the series ever since.

My very own PJO series

Percy Jackson (commonly abbreviated to 'PJO') is basically about Greek gods and goddesses. The only twist is that they exist in the Modern World. There are times that they 'hook-up' with humans and have a baby. Their baby is called a demigod. Demigods can have extraordinary powers depending on who their god/goddess parent is. In this case, the main character is Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. The book focuses on Percy and his friends; Grover, a satyr (half human, half goat) and Annabeth, daughter of Athena.

The Lightning Thief

You may be wondering, 'Why would you read that book again if you have already read it?'. I wanted to read it because first of all, I wanted to blog about it, and second is so that I can read the next book, The Sea of Monsters, in time for its movie on August 7! Woohoo!! :))

I have read PJO just by borrowing my classmates' books but since the end of March, I have earned the money to buy the whole set at Fully Booked Boni High. So now I can read PJO without having to borrow xD Thanks, by the way, to Khristine Banquil and Japheth Avelino for introducing me to books and to this amazing series XD :bd

The Percy Jackson boxed set

I treasure every book in my collection. REALLY. I mean, if you just crumple or fold one page of my books, you won't ever see the rising sun again. Haha xD  I mean it. Haha just kidding. I just like to take care of my books and I try my best to maintain them in their mint condition.

Okay, so I'll start The Lightning Thief now. I'll probably post again on my blog when I'm already halfway through or if something really cool happens to the story.

So,

The Lightning Thief
