About this ebook

A certain college girl who's loved books ever since she was a little girl dies in an accident and is reborn in another world she knows nothing about. She is now Myne, the sickly five-year-old daughter of a poor soldier. To make things worse, the world she's been reborn in has a very low literacy rate and books mostly don't exist. She'd have to pay an enormous amount of money to buy one.

Myne resolves herself: If there aren't any books, she'll just have to make them! Her goal is to become a librarian. This story begins with her quest to make books so she can live surrounded by them!

Dive into this biblio-fantasy written for book lovers and bookworms!

Ratings and reviews

Amazing story carried by equally amazing characters. It is a somewhat long series with 33 volumes, but each page is worth your time. It has a slow start, but it uses it to build up the large and fantastical world. It is a seinen, so it does have dark and mature moments throughout. All in all a must read

A very fun read. There are some grammer mistakes though, i'm not sure if it's intentional since the characters are illiterate. I'm still puzzling over Myne's sickness, is she suffering from consumption?

Started this series to try something different from my usual book tastes. I have found them a fun, fantasy read and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
