Welcome to Fantastic Top Fives with Wyrd & Wonder!

Wyrd and Wonder have brought back their Top Fives prompts, so every Friday this month, we’ll be tackling the prompts in our 5-Star Books in Five Words feature.

The first prompt was: Your Favourite Magical Systems or Spells.

This week, it’s Your Favorite Songs That You Associate with the Magical. We’ve chosen to interpret this as either books that use songs or music in their magic systems, or books or series with Song in the title!

A big thank you to all our contributors for their excellent recommendations!

Underlined book titles in bold contain links to reviews on this site.
