I am sitting in a van right now listening to John Green talk to one of his best friends about how bad he feels about becoming a #1 best-seller on the New York Times list. 

Need some backstory?

John met Ransom Riggs in college. They did an independent study on Ulsseys together. Randy was one of John’s groomsmen. They worked together at Mental Floss magazine and even collaborated on a book of trivia.

Randy also came out with his first novel quite a while ago. The amazing story of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. That book has been slowly climbing the charts for months now. 

This week would have been the week that it hit #1 if it had not been for one thing…John Green.

Now, I have to note, Randy doesn’t seem upset…John spent a total of like 15 seconds apologizing and has spent another 30 minutes giving Ransom advice and talking about college and asking questions that probably have confidential answers. 

I just think it’s so strange that, 10 years after these two met and went to school together, they’re now battling for the #1 and #2 spot. The question…really…is what happens next week. 

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
