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 “Psalms of the New Testament” by Beth Marie Hawley.
Beth Marie Hawley is a retired critical care registered nurse whose life journey has been shaped by both hardship and faith. After facing a severe illness that affected her central nervous system, she spent years finding comfort solely in reading the Bible.
Following her recovery, she felt called to write devotional and faith-based works, sharing the strength and hope she discovered through her relationship with Christ. Her writing reflects lived experience—marked by perseverance, healing, and unwavering belief.
“Psalms of the New Testament” by Beth Marie Hawley is a heartfelt devotional work that reimagines the spirit of biblical psalms through the lens of New Testament faith. Rather than replicating the traditional Psalms, the book presents a collection of reflective writings inspired by the life, teachings, and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Written from a deeply personal perspective, the book invites readers into a quiet, contemplative space—one where faith is not academic or distant, but intimate and lived.
This book does not attempt to impress with theological complexity—instead, it speaks with honesty, humility, and devotion. For readers seeking a quiet, reflective devotional, the book offers a space for meditation and spiritual connection. It is especially meaningful for those who want to deepen their relationship with Jesus in a personal and accessible way.
