I am a book lover that lives near NYC, and reads a lot, and loves independent bookstores. While I don't live in Brooklyn, knowing how to use #inreallife, I thought I can help my beloved Brooklyn friends enjoy this event and by creating this guide that they can save/update and set email reminders and share.
