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?
YES!!! I read this post last week while I was running errands and never got around to commenting. Lol. I also cannot remember the exact examples but at least twice I had that same experience of reading a few books at once and noticing odd commonalities. Now I’ll have to make note if it ever happens again. Lol.
It’s freaky. It’s also like when you learn a new word and suddenly that word is in everything you’re reading.
Yes!!! Lol.
I was just reading Draganshadow and The Wicked King at the same time and they both mentioned Selkies, which are mythical creatures that I didn’t know anything about! I had to go look them up and they are actually pretty cool! But it was super weird and random that both books I was reading mentioned the same mythical creature that I had never heard of before
That’s what I’m talking about! Something fairly specific, and suddenly it’s EVERYWHERE!
