Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore

… what to read? So many books, so little time – and sometimes it’s hard to find something just right to fit my mood.

Problem solved – my sister handed me Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, by Robin Sloan.  And it is just the perfect thing to read right now.  I am loving it!

And I am glad that I’ve been recording in a journal the books I read and my notes about those books.  I frequently find odd synchronicities and here is one I just became aware of:  In Penumbra, on page 136 the book talks about a “codex vitae,” which means “book of life.”  And one of the books I just recently read was all about that very thing and, in fact, Book of Life is its title!  I love that kind of thing, how everything can sometimes seem related.  And that is one of the many reasons why I love books.

UPDATE 11/10/14 – I finished this book – and what a fun read!  I loved this book!
