So, I was at Costco, & the book section is my HEAVEN. So I was over there, & found a collection of Mythologies. So like, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Chinese, Celtic (whatever that means), Norse, Egyptian, etc. I carried it around until the furniture section, when my mom told me to put it back. So went to put it back, & saw they had a Riordan Presents collection, but they didn't have Aru Shah in it. So I was digging around, &....
I FOUND AN ARU SHAH COLLECTION!!!!!
I was telling my mom that I WAS NOT LEAVING WITHOUT IT, & she kept refusing & refusing, but I wasn't letting up. Eventually she said...
That she already got it for me for Christmas a few weeks ago.
I swear my mom saw my eyes light up like Aiden's Scimitars when Aru lights 'em up.
So....now I am trying to forget that by Christmas so I can be as surprised as possible.
I asked my mom how she knew I would want it, because it wasn't on my Christmas list, which was my mistake. She said that Aru Shah is all I ever talk about, lol.
