    "Let's get this conversation going, New York!" - Danielle Brooks

    We've partnered with Commissioner Julie Menin and the New York City Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment to launch the "One Book, One New York" program, a new initiative to get everyone in NYC to read the same book at the same time. But it wouldn't be New York without a little competition, so we had five celebrities select five books for New Yorkers to choose from over the month of February. Watch the videos below to learn all about their picks.
