As you may or may not know, I don’t live in Singapore but I’m blogging for Singapore. I’ve ordered my Chords of Strength via Amazon and Bookends and they’re not here yet. Gah, the frustration. A couple of months back preorder was available for us via MPH. I was told that the release is unconfirmed but most likely 2nd week of June.
When I enquired many bookstores a couple of months back I was told that they are unable to give me any information about unreleased books. Oh well. I had to email Kino again to remind them that I’m waiting for their reply here. Anyway. Still waiting for Popular’s reply, and this is Kino’s
