Need some fantasy novels full of friendship, hope, and musical numbers?

Or perhaps a collection of retellings, including fairytales, Jewish folklore, Arthuriana, Norse myth, and more?

I can tell when someone talks about my books whether or not they've actually read them.

Names are important in my scifi series. It's a minor theme that runs through my writing, but it is key. Might miss it if you simply look up the name of a character.
