Every year, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books becomes livelier and brighter due to the growing number of attendees. From book lovers, casual readers, and literary collectors to authors and publishers, people gathered to celebrate literacy.
The largest book festival in the US opened its doors last April for a glamorous two-day weekend celebration with the bookworms. Held at the University of Southern California, many book enthusiasts, book lovers, and book collectors, as well as writers, established authors, and many more, attended the free event.
A lot of bookfair-goers went by the Citi of Books booth to check for their next read and potential favorite book. One of the books that were chosen is “Beth’s Book” by Tim Woods. It was displayed on April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
“Beth’s Book” is a novel that is a rollercoaster ride for Beth Shepherd, a mid-life writer struggling to meet her deadline. Facing financial pressure, family issues, and the illness of her long-time supporter, Beth feels lost. But things get even weirder when her fictional detective character, Katie Shields, leaps off the page and into Beth’s life. Somehow, Katie becomes Beth’s unlikely guide, helping her navigate personal challenges and finish the book—perhaps even her own.
