I remember feeling that there were more of them than usual. I think this is part of what coincidences are - they are also created by our attention. things that have a connection between them happen all the time, but the way WE frame them, the way WE look at them - that's what gives them meaning, which we tend to call - coincidence. :)(less)

It's Launch Day

Today is a special day.
Two of my novels that many of you may have already met in Hebrew or Russian—The Unswitchable and In the Blink of an Eye—are finally stepping out into the world in English.

Seeing them launch in English feels both new and familiar, like watching an old friend learn a new language and start speaking to new people.

In the Blink of an Eye

Quotes by Yoav Blum  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The difference is simple: happy people look at their lives and see a series of choices. Miserable people see only a series of sacrifices.”
Yoav Blum, The Coincidence Makers

“Love demands change. Love demands work. Love isn’t a piece of candy you get for being a good boy so you have something that makes you feel good. It’s hard work. The hardest in the world.”
Yoav Blum, The Coincidence Makers

“Love is not a boom, it’s not explosions and effects. It’s not fireworks in the sky or a plane flying by with a large banner. It’s slowly poured under your skin, quietly, without you even noticing, like anointing oil. You just feel a type of warmth, and one day you wake up and discover that under your skin you are wrapped with someone else.”
Yoav Blum, The Coincidence Makers
