January 2024 Reading Challenge - hosted by bibliomania_express

Has a metafictional element
A metafictional book is aware of itself as a book. It might have a narrator that talks to the reader, mixed media elements that refer to the book itself, or another extra element that adds a layer on top of the fiction. Maybe you want to read a nonfiction book about metafiction. Beware of fourth-wall breaking with this prompt.
