We’re halfway through 2025, and you’re still chatting about reading more in the “new year?” One Book One Bronx started the year by closing out a tribute to James Baldwin with The Fire Next Time. That was followed by “Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement” by Angela Y. Davis, “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston, “First in the Family: A Story of Survival, Recovery, and the American Dream” by Jessica Hoppe, and “Breath, Eyes, Memory” by Edwidge Danticat.
Next Saturday, on July 5 (or Tuesday, 7/1 if you’re on Zoom), we begin “Village Weavers” by Myriam J. A. Chancy at the Bronx River Community Garden, 180th St. & Devoe Ave.
Our discussions are free, and participants receive free books, and sometimes we eat cookies, and in the summer, we meet outdoors in community gardens, and if you don’t like it, then don’t come back. No hard feelings.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
