I’ve always been a big bookworm, and I’m a fast reader. So one day, my sister told me there were some books about wild cats that hunted and fighted. Honestly I was quite uninterested, but eventually I got to reading The Sight. I loved it, and finished the series, before starting from the start. I’ve re-read all the books multiple times (should probably do it again, I’m really forgetful even though I re-read this year already) and I’m always eagerly awaiting the new books! XD. At first I wasn’t allowed to borrow the books at school, they were in middle fiction, which you weren’t allowed to read until the end of year 5. (I was in year 3) Now it’s been over 2 years and I’m still a big fan! So, how did you find out about warrriors?
(pick what’s closest for the poll)

I was always a huge bookworm growing up, since my dad always took me to the library every week. For my 12th birthday I wanted books as my present, but I had no idea what series I wanted to collect! So I went onto the B&N website and scrolled through books, reading descriptions, and eventually chose Warriors. I kept collecting them ever since and it’s been about 9 years.

It has to have been 7+ years tho I think at one point I stopped reading cuz I couldn't get the books but ik I started in elementary school sometime
I'm pretty sure I either just saw the book in the library and decided to read it OR a teacher "made" me read it (IDK a better word basically I only ever read the same kids books over and over in elementary school so they wanted me to read better books)
I honestly don't remember

6 years ago. When I was in 4th grade, I found into the wild and was hooked.

Less than a year. Like, I knew about them way before, because my sister read like the first book, then she stopped. Anyway, I thought it was just going to be about cats fighting, and that's all, so I wasn't very interested. Then, a few years down the road, I saw some people commenting about it on foster cat videos on youtube, and I thought, hmm, maybe I should give these books a shot.

I was browsing my schools library in elementary school, I believe I was in 5th grade. I was always a bookworm, fast reader and I fell in love instantly with Into the wild. I continued reading the series for another year. When I was entering sixth grade I stopped, because my friends constantly made fun of me for being addicting to books about cats. Yes, I realize how silly I was for stopping. I stopped reading the series for about four years. Finally, here I am an upcoming junior in high school obsessed again 😂I started reading the series again about a week ago from the first book. I’m currently on the new prophecy: Sunset my love rekindled so much for the warrior day series I searched for active chat rooms and forums to talk on with fellow fans.

About 2 or 3 years ago I found a copy of The Fourth Apprentice in the library. I was super confused but intrigued and read Into the Wild, and here I am now on a cat forum because I loved it so much

2011, a walk-by glimpse at it in a bookstore. The theme "cat" soon drew my attention.

Reading commentaries on bad fan fictions and came across Starkit's Prophecy. I was intrigued and looked it up, and ended up finding a thread on the old forums about it. I lurked there a bit and found out more about the books and thought they sounded cool, so I decided to read them for myself

Started actually reading it last year, managed to finish all the books in that time frame too I think (Or at least those I intended to read, which was ITW-TPoT + Some SEs and Novellas).
Basically got a hold of PDFs and never went back. I do the same for every other series as well.

A friend introduced me to it when we were both in middle school. I've always liked stories, but I didn't become that much of a serious reader until Warriors. I stopped reading it after The Sun Trail/Thunder Rising, but then reread the series soon after the original forums closed down. And here I am. xD
The first Warriors book I read was Midnight.

Ten or 11 years ago? I know I was in 6th or 7th grade when I started them. The school librarian recommended them to me and I've loved them ever since. I'm 22 now. Now three of my much younger siblings are reading them now (ages 12, 11, and 7). I'm rereading the books again and compiling a reading order for them. www.goodreads.com/review/show/2141850064?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1It's been fun sharing the books with them. ❤️

It's quite the story. *after writing out this spoiler* Oh jeez, guys, didn't mean to make it that long, sorry. Anyway, story is below if you want to know. (the second spoiler has nothing in it, I just don't know how computers work). When I was 4, my sister returned from summer camp with a terribly beat-up copy of Into the Wild. I saw cats on the cover, and my sister (9) kept talking about "kittypets" and "twolegs" so I wanted to read this book she got. I took it from her room and tried to read it, but couldn't (because I was 4).
A year later, right before I started kindergarten, I tried to read it again, but couldn't understand what was happening. So I skipped the prologue and went right to chapter 1, and to my surprise, I understood it a lot better. That combined with being able to ask my mom words I didn't know allowed me to get through it. For Christmas she got me the box set of the original series, and got my sister the box set of the New Prophecy.
By the time I started first grade, I had finished the whole first series, Firestar's Quest, and was starting on Midnight. I distinctly remember having "reading partners" where the fourth graders would come to our class, pair up with us, and help us read our books. I wanted to read Midnight, and my partner got upset because it "has no pictures, and that's so above your level". Out of spite, I showed her the random cat pictures at the beginning of the chapters, read a couple paragraphs aloud to her, then ran out to the bathroom and spent all of reading time reading Midnight in there. The next reading partner day, my teacher allowed me to not have a partner and just read alone in the corner (did I mention I had and still have social anxiety?) At the end of the year, I won an award for "reading the most words" (they added up the length of all the books every kid read over the course of the year). I was third place, so I got to write my name in any library book I wanted. I chose Starlight because that was the book I was on at the time.
Dark River was the first Warriors book I had to wait for. After I read The Sight, and realized there was nothing (yet) after it, I was really sad, because Jaypaw was my absolute favorite character of all time. While waiting, I realized that ever since I skipped the prologue in Into the Wild, I had been skipping the prologues of every single book, so I went back and reread all of them, prologues included. When Dark River came out, I was absolutely ecstatic, and I carried it around with me absolutely everywhere I went. And I do mean everywhere. Restaurants, church, family member's houses. I read it for the first time in a couple days, and then just kept rereading it everywhere. I once left it at my grandmother's without realizing and I was so beyond upset (I was 7 at the time, guys), that my dad just bought me a new copy. Two years later I found my original on my dad's bookshelf in his room. He had kept it from me because "If you're going to lose a book, better to lose a beat-up paperback than a nice hardcover". Dark River is still my favorite Warriors book. So... yeah. It's been about 15 years? *there's nothing here, I just suck at formatting*

I can't remember a time when I couldn't read. Pretty much as soon as I was born, my mom had "bathtime letters" which were letters of the alphabet that stuck to the bathtub walls, and every night during bath time I would have a reading lesson combined with fun, basically. Also, when I was a toddler, like 2-3, my brother and sister would play Final Fantasy and wouldn't read the character's lines out loud to me, so if I wanted to know what was happening, I had to keep up. FF taught me how to read. XD 2. No idea. Probably a cabinmate who was also 9 and wanted to get rid of it for some reason. Or wanted it back but my sister "forgot" to return it. I still have it. It doesn't look like it was trampled by bulls, but there are torn pages and the cover is bent. 3. The school had awards for reading the most, and for anyone who reads above a certain amount, they get to write their name in the inside cover of their favorite book. (along with a sticker that says why their name is there)

3rd grade, new school, loved cats, huge bookworm, no friends. Picked up Moonrise and read it, had no idea what was going on, went back to Into The Wild and I've been hooked ever since. 7 years of reading about murder cats and I couldn't be happier about it.

Way back when I was in the 4th grade (a whole decade ago...I'm old), I noticed "Rising Storm" on a bookshelf at a bookstore. I was very interested, and when I found the book at the library, I checked it out (I know, I skipped ahead). I fell in love and even taught my little sister about the cats and the clans, and we would play Warriors together. I had never liked reading before, but I had always loved cats, and thus began my Warriors journey!
I stopped reading in the 8th grade, after I had completed The Last Hope. I've tried picking up the series again, but I have forgotten so much of it that it was hard to get invested again. It still has a place in my heart though!

Yikes, it's already been more then 4 years since I started back in July 2015. Time sure flies.
Anyways, my mom basically forced me to read it against my will. I hated it at first, but fell in love after the first few chapters.
