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 “Jeremiah’s Journey” by Eileen Kirksey Triplett.
“Jeremiah’s Journey” is a heartfelt tale that follows the life of a young man named Jeremiah as he navigates the tumultuous changes that life throws his way. Set against a backdrop of unrest in a new country, Jeremiah embarks on a quest for answers and the love of his life, demonstrating resilience and determination throughout his journey. As he joins new family members and integrates into a welcoming community, he gradually builds a life for himself, learning to make sense of the challenges he faces.
Eileen’s writing style is approachable and easy to read, making the story accessible to a wide audience and providing a relaxing experience for readers. The narrative captures the essence of personal growth and the importance of community and family support during difficult times.
The author draws inspiration from her own life experiences, residing in a picturesque country home in South Dakota with her husband, Robert Lynn. Surrounded by the beauty of the Black Hills and the lively wildlife, she brings a sense of warmth and authenticity to her storytelling. After retiring from a career in teaching and social services, Eileen now cherishes her time with her family, which includes her children and grandchildren.
Furthermore, “Jeremiah’s Journey” is not just a story of struggle and perseverance; it is also a celebration of love, community, and the enduring human spirit, making it a poignant read for anyone seeking inspiration and hope.
