It has been awhile...I apologize. I have been to Costco many times since my last post but I have been sick and tired and severely unmotivated. We are expecting adorable little #2 in May/June and it has been a rough haul. I am feeling better and will hopefully be better about keeping up with my obsession.
So what to post about...there are just so many things...But I think I want to talk about books at Costco. Am I the only one who gets all warm and fuzzy inside at the extremely low prices of such great books?? There are several tables FULL of books in our Costco's here in UT. Not only are there books...but there are regional specific books. As many of you know (ok so only one person reads this and she knows) Utah is full of these crazy Mormon folks who just LOVE their Mormon culture...including books. There are books written by the leaders of the LDS Church, there are LDS cook books, LDS art books, scripture aids, LDS artist calendars, LDS childrens books...it is endless...and I...LOVE...IT.!!!!! I bought my Mom this great book that has all these beautiful pictures of Christ and the words to a primary song. It is beautiful.
There are also all the top selling books, from fictional, to biographical, to political, to self-improvement and anything in between. And the childrens books...Oh I don't even know where to begin on the childrens books...I could brows for hours...I have honestly bought all of the Dr. Suess collections, they come in packages of 3...for like $9.99 it is amazing. And at the beginning of the school season there are all sorts of educational helps...there was this one that I was dying to get (litterally) it was a dry erase book...huge...spiral bound...for pre-preschoolers...I was drooling. Still one of my biggest non-buyers remorse purchases I never made...oh well, what can you do when you live on a budget???
Also...they are always hosting authors!! It is great!! So about a month ago I am walking in my Orem Costco and there is this guy sitting at a table with the Tennis Shoes Among the Nephits series on the table (read them as a pre-teen and teen and LOVED them) anywho...so there was this guy sitting there and I was in a hurry but I stopped and asked "Are you Chris Heimerdinger?" And sure enough...it was. So if I was in the mood to buy the whole seriese I could have had them signed...another one of those non-buyers remorse moments...
So grab your purse and your Christmas list and head down to the book section at your local Costco...they are sure to have something for everyone on your list!!!
