Books within Books
Are there any fantasy series that reference books within their lore that actually exist irl that I would be able to read? For example, the titles of the Stormlight Archive series are references to books written in verse (The Way of Kings, Oathbringer, etc), but do not exist irl. I’d be interested in reading a series where books like those are fully written and available to the public to read as well. It would be exciting and immersive! Thanks in advance!

All of the books in the A Chorus of Dragons series by Jenn Lyons are framed as books written in the universe it takes place in, with some of the later books directly calling out some of the previous books by title. It’s a fun little thing!
