What's a good book that has songs in it? Either songs are a big part of the culture, magical system or plot, or characters tell their stories through song, or they just like to sing a lot? Some examples: many of the Redwall books by Brian Jacques, Princess Academy and the Book of 1000 Days by Shannon Hale, and the Books of Bayern had at least 1, the Unicorn Chronicals by Bruce Coville, and the Hobbit. You know, things that a good reader or cast could do justice to. #Bookstodon

A lot of stuff by Mercedes Lackey and friends, for example the Valdemar Series, has a strong emphasis on songs and bard. There's even some recorded music based on the songs that appears in the books, like an album called Oathbound: vows and honour.
