Books about books; one of my favorite categories of
fiction. I don’t know what it is, but I
cannot resist a story about books or bookstores, particularly when there is a
secret hidden in the shelves or between the covers. Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour
Bookstore is a fun, modern romp through a mysterious bookstore as seen through
the eyes of a young man who, while a little directionless in general, finds his
place in the unusual realm of the unique store. With everything from tech
solutions to obstacles that arise (via Google no less) to a secret society and
a special set of books that only certain unusual characters can access, this is
a fun story set in a colorful world grounded in books. Highly recommended for
anyone who can’t spend enough time lost in books or bookstores.
