Whether you were a lifelong bibliophile or a curious newcomer exploring the world of books, the festival provided a unique opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share our passion for the written word.
As we look back on this unforgettable weekend, we invite you to join us in reliving the highlights of Citi of Books’ gallery during the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books—a true celebration of the literary arts! A book included in the gallery was “The Struggles of My Life” by Marquez McCrainey.
“The Struggles of My Life” is a heartfelt narrative set in the enchanting town of Everwood, where the readers will meet Lily, a young woman on a quest for love and acceptance. As she navigates the complexities of life, her journey becomes an epic adventure filled with unexpected challenges that test her resilience and determination.
