At the end of January, on our trip to Disneyland, I took Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief to read if I had some spare time. I managed to start and finish the book on my 3 day trip. Loved it. After we got home, the following week, my sister let me borrow books 2 - 5 of the Percy Jackson series. I finished the fifth book today. LOVED THEM.
What I realized was that I don't know JACK about Greek Mythology, except for what I learned in Disney's animated feature film "Hercules." So now I'd like to read something else on Greek Mythology.
I was excited to go see the movie this weekend. Of course the book is always better than the movie, but the movie was still good and entertaining. AND it has something that the book doesn't.....Logan Lerman. A VISUAL Percy Jackson.
I wonder how he must feel; joining the ranks of Daniel Radcliff = Harry Potter, Robert Pattison = Edward Cullen, Taylor Lautner = Jacob Black, Logan Lerman = Percy Jackson, Zac Efron = I don't care who he is as long as he's in the movie.
I'm not sure he understands!
Which brings me to my next thought: I either like "little" boys (mentioned above) or I like "older" men. I don't ever find myself attracted to the boys my age, or in their 30's. Why is that??? Are you 17, 18, 19, or 20 = Sign Me Up! Are you 45, 50, 60 = Sign Me Up! I mentioned my young crushes. My older crushes = Bob Costas, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Matt Lauer, George Clooney, Pierce Brosnan, and the list goes on!
Anyways.....back to the books. If you haven't read them, I think you will enjoy them!
Oh I also read Hunger Games and Catching Fire and can't wait for the next book!!

I really enjoyed the movie...now I'll have to borrow the books. I've got a list of books I need to borrow from you, including Hunger Games.
I'm a total cougar just like you too(as far as Hollywood is concerned). And I'm a helpless romance so I need GOOD LOOKING people falling in love - in Hollywood there are only teens and 50's that fit that. But Hugh Jackman...you need to add him to your list. ;)
I was going to read that book, but then I found out Percy is in fact not one of the Jackson 5.
Total letdown.
All Great books keep reading them!
I found your blog, just passing by and it's the weirdest thing, you reminded me of my sisters (and your kids remind me of my sisters kids.) So I thought I would read and comment, I hope you don't mind.
I am thinking that maybe having older and younger crushes is a safe way to crush. Whenever I have celebrity crushes that's usually the case.
