I guess it's my turn?

Rick Riordan came to my elementary school when I was in 5th grade. I vividly remember that he was touring for The Titan's Curse and he gave away CHB shirts. At the time my teacher was reading to us The Lightning Theif and me not being an audio listener (smh tactile, ftw) didn't listen at all, lol. Anyway, even after his visit I still didn't care enough to read the series then. I know that I had bought TLT but hadn't read it yet or read like three chapters and gave up.

Now during a book fair during 7th grade I remember that I saw SoM and was interested in reading that. I bought it and then during spring break I read TLT and SoM. Then I forced my mom to buy me the other two (TCC and BoTL). I remember loving it a lot and one a day for spring break. Then after that I waiting for TLO.

Time skip to August, the stupid movie was announced and I ended up finding this Wikia.
