Remember [One Book, One New York ](/one-book-one-new-york-book-club-city/)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](/vote-nyc-film-want-see-free-citywide-screenings/) will launch this September!

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