Crazy Coincidences?!

Have you ever found yourself reading a few books at once (or a few really close together) and find odd similarities between them? I’m not talking about books that are both fantasy, or characters that are both described to look a similar way. I’m talking about really specific things. 

Since I’m usually always reading something with my eyes and something with my ears on any given day, I’m almost always into two or more books at a time. Coincidences have happened plenty of times before, though I can’t remember most of them now. There are two, however, that are still fresh in my mind. 

I’ll Be Gone in the Dark and Dark Matter (other than both having ‘Dark’ in the title) both mention Occam’s Razor, a term I had never heard, but suddenly was in all the books I was reading!

And then there was Slayer and Feed. One is set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the other has a character that nicknamed herself Buffy because of the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Crazy, right??

What is that? And what crazy coincidences have you noticed?

Fun fact about this post: Yes, I have considered that I’m actually the subject of a Truman Show scenario where these kinds of things are arranged for me… but you already knew that, didn’t you?!
