Just sharing a weird coincidence this month. I recently reread The Lives of Christopher Chant, and as a child Christopher wanders his way into different worlds in his multiverse. He calls them Anywheres. While listening to the tagged today, I came across another character who calls the worlds she travels to in her own multiverse Anywheres! 😮 #Similarities #Coincidence #Multiverse

Thanks to the 51 of us that voted, the #PemberLittens July/August selections have been made!

Our work by Austen will be The Watsons, another of Jane‘s unfinished works. There is a completed version out there that was finished by her niece.

Our Austen retelling is Longbourn by Jo Baker,

And our novel by another female author is Excellent Women by Barbara Pym.

Comment the books you‘d like to be tagged for, and if you want to lead discussion!

Ink and Bone (The Great Library, #1) | Rachel Caine

Seeing everyone's posts for their #ThingsInCommon challenge has me thinking about similarities between books I'm reading. I thought I'd share this similarity because it seems so unlikely that I would read two books back to back with this: Jewish escape tunnels. #coincidence

Clare-Dragonfly That makes me want to read Ink and Bone! 2y

Kenyazero @Clare-Dragonfly it's been a fun read so far because of its creative reimagining of libraries and books. It hasn't really had a wow factor for me yet, but that's not necessarily a terrible thing. 2y

The Coincidence Authority | John Ironmonger

My new #bookspin: Freedom - Jonathan Franzen & my new #doublespin: The story of Edgar Sawtelle - David Wroblewski.
Huge books and what a coincidence: They both have 562 pages exactly.

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Oh my, that's some serious reading! How funny that they're both the same!! 3y

Incredible Coincidence: The Baffling World of Synchronicity | Alan Vaughan

pick

Very much testimony-driven - which I like - but the analysis, though succinct, is thought-provoking and adds significantly to the book. Life is complex and lots of things happen to us so I suppose we should expect coincidences along the way. Vaughan shows there‘s rather more to it than this, however, and the book is a worthy addition to any bookshelf for the stories alone. Some are, indeed, absolutely incredible.

My mom listed some cute booksleeves on her Etsy store! She‘s got several fabrics and sizes, and they are all lined with soft fleece. I have a HP houses one and one with the sugar skulls. (see them on her site.)

She also has beautiful handmade greeting cards, perfect for #JB or #UKJB #jbuk.

It always freaks me out when one book I'm reading quotes another book I am currently reading (or struggling to read.) I think I unintentionally go through "themes." #coincidence #unexpectedconnections
