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 “Glimpses into Other Worlds” by Kristy Shanahan .
Kristy Shanahan is an author and researcher with an academic background in science and higher education. She has studied and worked in scientific fields while also maintaining a strong personal interest in metaphysics, consciousness studies, and unexplained phenomena. Her work reflects a blend of scientific inquiry and spiritual curiosity.
“Glimpses into Other Worlds” is a science, spirituality, and consciousness-focused nonfiction work that explores the idea that reality may extend far beyond what we can physically observe. Written by Kristy Shanahan, the book blends astronomy, UFO/UAP reports, ancient mythology, and metaphysical thought into a broad investigation of “other worlds”—both external and internal. It moves across topics such as extraterrestrial life, alternate dimensions, and the nature of the human mind.
Rather than offering fixed answers, the book encourages curiosity and interpretation. It invites readers to question how much of reality is understood and how much remains hidden, both in the universe and within human perception. For those interested in thought-provoking, cross-disciplinary exploration, it offers a wide-ranging and reflective reading experience.
