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.
Attending book events like BookCon remains essential in today’s publishing landscape, offering a unique chance to connect, learn, and grow.

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 “Cherish Your Thoughts and Dreams” by Todd Ellis.
This book is written to help you understand that we all have the potential within for happiness and success. This is your right, but you have to decide and choose for yourself; no one can do it for you.
We can rise, conquer, and achieve happiness and success by lifting and controlling our thoughts. We’re limited only by the thoughts we choose and are made or unmade by these thoughts. Why are some people so happy and successful? They think they are-it’s that simple!-and are willing to put forth the effort to achieve their goals. They’re not working harder; they’re combining thoughts with abilities, which we all have.
Look at the businessmen or the athletes. They’re good businessmen and athletes because they use their abilities and do okay. Now look at the great businessmen and athletes. They combine thought with their abilities and rise to greatness. They always think positively and see themselves doing great things. They won’t let negative people and thoughts bring them down.
Remember, we are what we think we are. The vision and thoughts that you glorify, the ideas that you cherish in your heart-this you must build your life around; this you will become.
In all human affairs, there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the results.
