Yesterday I was introduced to the latest Book Twitter controversy. Tomi Adeyemi, the author of Children and Blood and Bone, accused Nora Roberts of copying her book title and trying to profit off of her (Tomi’s) success. (Nora Roberts’ response, if you’re interested.) Some people called into question which book had been titled first and pointed out that titles can’t be copyrighted.
Other people posted images showing tons of books with similar titles that had been published in previous years. I learned that Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer was published alongside another book titled Eclipse on the exact same day. This got me thinking about how many other books share titles and how much it really matters. Today I wanted to share a few examples of books with similar or identical titles.
