Ripped Bodice in Brooklyn has a very different vibe to other bookstores, possibly because it is genre-focused. I've only been there once so far, and no one at the register commented on my book, but they had a lively conversation with the woman in front of me. I also witnessed a kid of about 19 ask a bookseller for recommendations and get a lot of passionate info. It felt like a very judgement-free zone.
