Reply with your local bookstore and share why you love them!

And celebrate today with us: http://libro.fm/ibd 

We heard from readers and listeners far and wide, and were so moved by their stories and enthusiasm for bookstores.

“Librofm and my local bookstores mean so much to me because those feel like the places where I can truly, truly escape into a different kind of world.” —Jarett, customer of @TatteredCover
