Remember One Book, One New York that was launched by the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment in February to bring book-lovin’ New Yorkers together? It was basically a book club for about 8 million people, where we all chose the one book to read together at the same time — Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was the winner — and we all read it everywhere?
For all film lovers, One Film, One New York will launch this September!

P.S. – we did ask Community Bookstore, and will add if we hear back from them.
