BookCon (formerly known as Book Expo America) brought together a vibrant mix of authors, publishers, and book lovers under one roof, creating an exciting space where stories and ideas came to life. Held over two dynamic days, the event buzzed with panel discussions, book signings, and creative showcases that celebrated the ever-evolving world of publishing. From emerging writers to established voices, BookCon proved once again to be a hub for inspiration, connection, and discovery.
Citi of Books proudly took part in this year’s event, marking another meaningful step in its journey of supporting authors and sharing stories with a wider audience.

From showcasing select titles to discussing distribution opportunities, the team made the most of every interaction. The energy at the booth reflected a shared passion for storytelling, and it was clear that events like BookCon continue to open doors for both writers and readers alike.

These gatherings remind us that behind every book is a community eager to share and celebrate stories. At Citi of Books’ Book Gallery, this spirit lives on through featured titles that deserve the spotlight—inviting readers to discover their next great read and authors to find their place on the shelf.
Among the standout selections that captivated attendees was “Looking Through the Eyes of a Caregivers” by Sophia Sheppard.
To all the brave and compassionate sons, daughters, husbands, and wives, there is help. Sophia has been a caregiver for over twenty years all over and has long-term experience in caring for dementia patients. Once you have been a caregiver, it is something that sticks with you for the rest of your life. There is no doubt once you meet that sweet man or woman, you then know you are ready to dedicate yourself to that family. Sophia is the first to admit that you must have patience and a heart to want to do it. It’s very hard, but we all know the scripture:
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)
This is how Sophia gets through her days as a caregiver; she knows God is with me every step of the way.
