It's a cute story about a girl who is obsessed with books. She gets reincarnated into a world without books and has to make her own.

Such a sweet start to a series! I loved Myne's love of books, and her determination to get some form of books and reading into the new world she's reincarnated into!

This story is so cute. This story is about a 22 year old bookworm from Japan who died and her soul went into a 5 year old who is from another world and is sickly. And because her family is poor they can't afford any books or any stationery so she decided to try and find ways to make paper and books so that she can be a librarian which she had been dreaming all along.
P.S I totally ship Lutz and Myne together they are just so adorable.

(Counting all 7 volumes of Part 1 in this one title on Goodreads instead of adding each individual volume.)
I'm surprised how much I felt addicted to this story.
I didn't read the blurb so I just assumed it'd be a cute booklover story, but instead it had an intense journey of following a girl who has been transported into an alternate, olden-times, fantasy world where she is forced to pursue her dream to read books by first needing to become a paper-maker, then a merchant to sell paper in a world that doesn't have much access to paper/books, then we're tackled with tragic obstacles that are a result of medical & socio-political ramifications of being a commoner (as opposed to a noble) which keep pushing her goal further back - AH!
It was just so good!
Inspirational dream & the protagonist's struggles aside, it was also pretty funny. It had me chuckling out loud a few times.
& just when I thought I finally understood the stakes towards the end (of this Part 1 of the series that I will definitely be continuing), the latest obstacle she faces at the Temple SHOOK me. Just wanted to punch a certain authority figure...
It's not the surface-level cutsey that I thought I was reading it for.
It becomes deeper and more complicated the more you read and delve into the story.
Favourite character? Why, Lutz, the adorable, loyal & sweetheart who will make anything for his friend of course. Get you a bestie like Lutz!

This was boring and the main character got on my nerve.

Maybe the main character will be more likeable in vol. 2...

This starts with a college student who loved books and reading dying and getting reincarnated as a young girl (4 or 5). She's now in a world where books are really expensive and only for nobles. The paper is really expensive as well. Myne, our reincarnated book-lover, has memories of her past life and is determined to find books, and do whatever she can to make them accessible.
This is a great first volume! I thoroughly enjoyed and related to it. Myne's determination is a joy and contagious. Her family isn't the wealthiest, but she's learning to cope and that's where her creativity comes in to play. This is truly a fun read for all bibliophiles!
