Ajax Penumbra 1969 by Robin Sloan

5.0

I chanced upon this slim novella when I was perusing the shelves of my favourite bookstore, and I kid you not, I gasped so loud and hugged it, I was that excited. One of the books I always recommend to my friends is Mr Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore, and finding this unexpected gem just made my day. Admittedly, I read it right there and then, and finished it in about 45 minutes. I would have bought it if I weren't broke and living off my mom's allowance, but it was a quick read, and a fascinating glimpse into the charming bookshop's previous customers and owners.
