Interesting Tidbits on the Web:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gosh I have been reading a lot lately! I love it but I have been sorely lacking in my creativity, instead I have been working on getting my crafting supplies somewhat organized so it isn't always such a disaster. I have also cut myself off on getting anymore supplies until I use at least the most recent ones I have gotten.
We did have a couple of snow days at the end of last week, got blasted with a good blizzard on Thursday and then Friday was a big clean up day. I don't know if we will get another one today, we are expecting another storm but it could be a lot of snow or more rain, we will have to see (but I could totally use another day off). This also explains why I haven't been able to get my pen pal letters out (I have a large stack of them to mail but need to get to the post office) and why I also missed last week's Pen to Paper post, I need to get better about scheduling posts again.
Anyway, have you ever found yourself reading very similar books close together without meaning to? Lately I have found that several of the books I have read are along the line of star-crossed lovers. I don't know why that seems to happen to me a lot but it does (last year I ended up reading a lot of fairy tale re-tellings without meaning to and before that it was a lot of Robin Hood inspired books).
I read similar books a lot. Sometimes I think my subconscious subconscious manages to do that without me noticing. Maybe it's in the mood for something.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is completely subconscious, it is just really odd that it keeps happening, especially when they are sometimes completely different genres of books and publishing years. I know I have purposely been seeking out a lot of Beauty and the Beast books though in anticipation for the movie.
