I have been listening to the Hope series by Jaci Burton, and the couple was watching a football game and reference the quarterback from one of Burton's Play by Play books. I love that!

I mean one thing is in the book Ready Player One, when they had the Easter eggs as so much of a video game thing to go with the theme. But I love when authors either reference their own stories or other pop culture things. I just saw the movie Happy Death Day 2U today, and they mentioned Back the Future, and then had a couple things I'd consider Easter eggs, like a truck with a company name of "Biff's" and then a clock tower scene, all things from Back the Future.
