I Have Arrived. Aaaand I Left Again.

When I left school on Friday, I was on top of the world. I had just received official word from the publisher that The Very Last Castle had reached the #1 spot . . .

. . . of my school library.

Suddenly, I noticed I was holding my head a little higher. My chest, somewhat puffier. What could I do? I was the author of the #1 most popular book in the entire elementary school where I worked! The fame and glory went to my head and I came into work Monday morning still riding that highest of highs.

I checked the list again, looking for another little boost of arrogance confidence to put some pep in my step, only to find . . .

. . . that I’d been unceremoniously knocked out of the top slot by some random Minecraft book.

Who cares about lists?
