I want to pre-order my book, but I don't know if my mom will let me. But where I live, everywhere sells it, even the grocery store! (I live in a small town)

I pre-ordered my book but not off of Amazon. With that amount being pre-ordered off of Amazon alone, goodness knows how many books have been pre-ordered altogether worldwide. Whatever it is it's a lot, thats one thing for sure.

woah baby! That's alot! I tried to pre-order mine from this place called'Crossword' here but they said it'll be given on the 17th so I didn't pre-order it from there. but there is this small-ish bookstore next to my place and I know the owner so I asked him to keep one for me!
