We second this! Randee Dawn's @randeedawn.com #Brooklyn Books & Booze #readings are a must. They are held at @bklynbooksbooze.bsky.social and treat you to fine readings in a warm atmosphere basking in some fine liquors. The quintessential #NYC author event.
These events are so great and very entertaining. Do yourself a favor and add them to your calendar, plus they’re free!
