Hey /lit/. I'm a writer, not by trade, and I'm really curious about a lot of things. I'm not well read, nor have I published anything. I do write often, but I'm really looking to do something different and I needed to know if it was even... a thing.

Are there books, not screenplays, that have songs in them? With characters who just break into song during important parts/passages? Thanks.
