The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2026, held on April 18–19, 2026 at the University of Southern California campus, once again brought together book lovers, authors, publishers, and creatives for a vibrant celebration of literature. Known as one of the largest literary festivals in the United States, the event featured panel discussions, book signings, live performances, and countless booths filled with stories waiting to be discovered. The atmosphere was lively and inspiring, offering something for every kind of reader.
Citi of Books proudly took part in this year’s festival, connecting with attendees from all walks of life. Their booth became a welcoming space where visitors explored a diverse collection of titles and learned more about the company’s publishing and marketing services. Throughout the two-day event, the team engaged in meaningful conversations with aspiring authors, avid readers, and fellow industry professionals, making the experience both productive and memorable.
The participation of Citi of Books in LATFOB 2026 was a valuable opportunity to showcase their growing catalog and strengthen their presence in the global book community. Being surrounded by passionate storytellers and curious readers allowed the team to gain fresh insights into current literary trends while building new relationships. The energy of the festival reflected the shared love for storytelling, reinforcing Citi of Books’ commitment to helping authors bring their work to a wider audience.
Attending book events like the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books continues to play an important role in connecting stories with readers. It opens doors for collaboration, discovery, and inspiration that go beyond the pages of a book. As Citi of Books carries this momentum forward, readers are invited to explore featured titles in their Book Gallery, including “The Person, Poetess, Prayer Warrior and Recipes“ by Joyce A. Bowman.
Faith can move mountains, but sometimes it starts with a single, sincere word.
“The Person, Poetess, Prayer Warrior and Recipes” by Joyce A. Bowman is one of the best heartfelt titles featured at the 2026 LA Times Festival of Books. As part of our book gallery, this inspiring work drew in readers who were looking for something uplifting, something real, and something rooted in faith and everyday life.
Joyce A. Bowman brings more than just words to the page. Her journey, from accepting Christ at a young age to preaching her first sermon in 2006 and later becoming an ordained Reverend, gives this book a deeply personal touch. Every page reflects her mission to keep God first, honor Jesus, and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. What makes this book stand out is how it blends poetry, prayers, and even recipes into one meaningful collection that feels both comforting and genuine.
At Citi of Books, we’re always excited to showcase titles that connect with readers on a deeper level, and this one truly did. Festival-goers were drawn to its message of hope, encouragement, and unwavering faith. If you’re searching for a book that feeds both the heart and the soul, “The Person, Poetess, Prayer Warrior and Recipes” by Joyce A. Bowman is definitely one to add to your reading list.
