Please note the comment from Michael Covington from ECPA: "We recognized pre-sales activity for Karen Kingsbury's new title "Take Three", however at Zondervan's request we have excluded pre-sales (this book releases 3/23) for purposes of bestseller rankings."

Hi Brandilyn ~

Quick note. We recognized pre-sales activity for Karen Kingsbury's new title "Take Three", however at Zondervan's request we have excluded pre-sales (this book releases 3/23) for purposes of bestseller rankings.
