Light Reads #11: Book Girls, Vol. 5-6 | UPDATED LOCATION

Post holiday madness, Light Reads is finally returning! Hoping to end out Book Girl with everyone on the 3rd Sunday of this month!

PLEASE READ THE BOOKS BEFORE THE MEETUP!

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! We are reviewing two books this time around from the Book Girl series!

Book Girl and the Wayfarer's Lamentation
Bungaku Shōjo to Dōkoku no Parumiēre ("文学少女"と慟哭の巡礼者【パルミエーレ】)

While Konoha is aware that he will soon be losing his book-eating club president when she ventures off to college, a new relationship blossoms between him and the once standoffish Kotobuki. The two even manage to spend New Year's Day together! However, the dawn of the new year also ushers in the return of a familiar face - a girl whose every line Konoha has memorized and one the heartbroken boy thought he would never see again. Just as she reenters his life, though, Konoha feels the ties he has established with the people around him begin to sever... Can a simple book girl shed some much-needed insight on the situation before it's too late?

Book Girl and the Undine Who Bore a Moonflower
Bungaku Shōjo to Tsuki-hana o Daku Undīne ("文学少女"と月花を孕く水妖【ウンディーネ】)

"I've been kidnapped by a bad person. Bring a change of clothes and your homework and come save me!" Duped by this seemingly earnest summons from Tohko, Konoha finds himself forced to spend his summer break at the Himekura villa, writing snacks for his greedy club president. But the shadow of a tragedy from eighty years past threatens to destroy their otherwise peaceful summer! What is the "secret" that stirs the Book Girl's imagination?
