"Tom Gauld returns with his wittiest and most trenchant collection of literary cartoons to date. Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist's signature brand of humour, hitting high and low. After all, Gauld is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane Eyre and Game of Thrones. Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious procrastinating novelist, the commercial mercenary of the dispassionate editor, the willful obscurantism...

Myne is determined to protect those she cares about most, so she abandons the life she knows to become Rozemyne, the archduke's mana-rich adopted daughter. She charges forward into this strange new world, not letting her new persona change her passion for books! Watch as the setting of this biblio-fantasy by book lovers, for book lovers continues to expand... along with the book-making industry!

The school lunch lady, a secret crime fighter, sets out to stop a group of librarians bent on destroying a shipment of video games, while a group of students known as the Breakfast Bunch provides back-up.

Myne is starting to grow more comfortable with temple life. Things are finally going well-that is, until she learns the truth about the orphanage. The children there are starving and emaciated, living in conditions that shake the apprentice blue shrine maiden to her core. After agonizing over this problem, she resolves to become the orphanage director and improve their lives herself. It's time to open up the temple branch of the Myne Workshop!

As time goes on, Myne slowly gets more and more used to life in the temple. She learns to speak like a noble and is allowed to live in the orphanage director's chambers. She even successfully breaks the ice with Fran! Gil, her once troublesome attendant, cleans her new chambers as ordered and learns to love being rewarded for his hard work. As for Delia, well....

"It has been a year since our hero was reborn into a new world in the body of Myne, a sickly little girl from a poor family. She's been doing her best to fulfill her dream of making books, but her plans have been foiled at every turn. But now Myne has a deal with Benno the merchant: With her friend Lutz's help, she will make a paper prototype that he can sell in his shop. In exchange, he will take her and Lutz on as apprentices. But making the prototype...

Myne throws everything she has at paper-making while helping at the gate and preparing for Tuuli's baptism. She tries weaving faux-papyrus from fibers during winter and forming clay tablets during the spring, but both fail. Still, her love for books isn't so weak that she'd give up that easily. It's time to think up a Plan C!

Her disease is known as "the Devouring," and upon learning that it requires an exorbitant amount of money to cure, she resolves to stay alive by selling her knowledge from her past life. But despite her best efforts, the Devouring heat eats away at her day by day, and she ultimately loses consciousness during a business discussion.

Theo sets out for the city of Aftzaak, and the test that awaits him there is unlike anything he has experienced before.
