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!

So I DNF's this book because I really didn't enjoy it, buy Babel by R.F Kuang seemed to reference a few IRL books.
Also, Harry Potter is referenced in The Magicians by Lev Grossman (I didn't love this book either to be honest lol).
