Publisher's summary

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.

Can’t wait for more

I liked that the reader sounds like the voice actor for the anime. I’ve been wanting to read the light novel so this was a great find!

Amazing Story!

I have watched the anime. Have read all the light novels and now am starting to be able to listen to the actual book version come to life. I love this story and can't wait to get to hear the rest in audible format.

amazing

Thank you so much for putting this series on audible. I may big fan of the light novel and Manga and I have all them. I tried to read the light novel but didn't have time to finish it. So I'm really excited to get to read the audible version of the light novel. They picked an amazing voice actor for this series. I know her from a couple other of our titles and was very surprised to see her doing it. They did an excellent job. The amount of hours for the first volume is very appropriate for the price. I am very looking forward to more

A dream come true

I've been longing for an audio book of this series for years! The narrator absolutely delivers. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the listen. Thank you so much!

Amazing voice work.

It's a wonderful series and the performance is stellar. the only issue is that it's a long series and it may take time to get all the audiobooks in the series.

My Favorite Series now Has an Audiobook

This is one of my favorite series, if not my most favorite. I love reading/hearing Myne struggle to survive in and learn about her new world as she tries to make books. Reba Buhr’s performance brilliantly adds a new dimension to the story and characters.

this is one of my favorite stories

i have enjoyed the anime, the manga, and especially the light novels. i did not know if getting the audio was worth it, but of course it was. the narrator is really good.
now the MC is whiny in this story, but she is also a child. As the storyline unfolds she grows up. the whining goes away. looks like im going to have to get them all. again.
