As the pages of history turn, we find ourselves reflecting on a remarkable milestone—the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the largest book festival in the United States, held on April 26-27, 2025. Set against the stunning backdrop of the University of Southern California campus, this annual celebration of literature brought together thousands of book lovers, authors, and industry professionals for a weekend brimming with literary magic.
Attracting around 150,000 attendees from Southern California and beyond, the festival was a testament to the enduring appeal of literature and the community it fosters. Each event, each conversation, and each shared moment contributed to a rich tapestry of experiences that celebrated the diverse voices and stories that shape our world.
This year, Citi of Books was thrilled to be part of this vibrant gathering, where the love for literature was palpable in the air. Whether you were a lifelong bibliophile or a curious newcomer exploring the world of books, the festival provided a unique opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share our passion for the written word.
As we look back on this unforgettable weekend, we invite you to join us in reliving the highlights of Citi of Books’ gallery during the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books—a true celebration of the literary arts! A book included in the gallery was “Grandma’s Proverbs: Meditations on The Lord’s Prayer” by Robin Collins.
“Grandma’s Proverbs: Meditations on The Lord’s Prayer” by Robin Collins offers a heartfelt and practical exploration of how the Bible—and particularly The Lord’s Prayer—can be deeply integrated into everyday life. Told from the wise and reflective perspective of a grandmother, the book invites readers on a spiritual journey that connects scripture to real-life experiences. Through gentle meditations and personal stories, she reveals how the timeless words of The Lord’s Prayer have guided her through every season of life.
With warmth and wisdom, the author poses profound questions that resonate with readers of all backgrounds: Who is God? What does His kingdom look like in our daily lives? How can we live out the prayer Jesus taught us—in times of joy and sorrow, in relationships, in raising children, in working for our needs, and in embracing our unique roles and callings?
Each chapter reflects on a line from the prayer, using it as a lens to view the challenges, triumphs, and quiet moments of everyday living. Whether navigating grief, celebrating love, or striving to be a light in the world, the grandmother’s reflections reveal how God’s presence can be felt and His will pursued, right here on earth.
Ultimately, “Grandma’s Proverbs: Meditations on The Lord’s Prayer” by Robin Collins encourages a deeper prayer life and a more personal relationship with God, grounded in faith, humility, and love for others. It’s a touching reminder that spiritual wisdom often comes through lived experience, and that prayer is not just spoken—but lived.
