As the pages of history turn, we find ourselves reflecting on a remarkable milestone—the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the largest book festival in the United States, held on April 26-27, 2025. Set against the stunning backdrop of the University of Southern California campus, this annual celebration of literature brought together thousands of book lovers, authors, and industry professionals for a weekend brimming with literary magic.
Attracting around 150,000 attendees from Southern California and beyond, the festival was a testament to the enduring appeal of literature and the community it fosters. Each event, each conversation, and each shared moment contributed to a rich tapestry of experiences that celebrated the diverse voices and stories that shape our world.
This year, Citi of Books was thrilled to be part of this vibrant gathering, where the love for literature was palpable in the air. 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 “UFO Girl: Military Intelligence” by Kenneth Hopkins.
“UFO Girl: Military Intelligence” by Kenneth Hopkins is a gripping exploration of memory, trauma, and the unsettling intersection of human experience and government secrecy. From a young age, Kenneth grappled with gaps in his memory, blackouts, and a series of bizarre medical tests that hinted at a darker truth. As he navigated a childhood marked by abuse and seizures, he ultimately uncovered a harrowing reality: he had been involuntarily drawn into the CIA’s notorious MK-Ultra program. This revelation sets the stage for a narrative that intertwines personal struggle with the shadowy world of military intelligence.
As Kenneth matures, he finds himself ensnared in a complex web of covert operations and extraterrestrial encounters. His relationship with Nancy, affectionately dubbed UFO Girl, deepens the mystery surrounding his life. Nancy’s father, a high-ranking naval intelligence officer, died under suspicious circumstances, leaving her with secrets that could unravel the very fabric of their existence. Together, they confront eerie abductions and unsettling experiences with the Greys—aliens whose intentions remain shrouded in ambiguity. Kenneth’s quest for answers leads him to undergo hypnosis, revealing buried memories that suggest he was not merely a passive observer but an active participant in secret experiments aimed at creating alien-human hybrids.
The narrative intensifies as Kenneth grapples with the implications of his recovered memories. He is thrust into a world where the Department of Defense, enigmatic intelligence agents, and powerful extraterrestrial beings seem to manipulate his life. As he delves deeper into his past, he faces the chilling possibility that his memories may be fabrications designed to obscure an even more sinister reality. The stakes rise as he questions not only his identity but also the fate of Nancy—was she a genuine ally, or merely another pawn in a larger game of manipulation?
“UFO Girl: Military Intelligence” blurs the lines between truth and deception, crafting a chilling journey through the labyrinth of secret government programs and alien experimentation. Kenneth Hopkins invites readers to ponder the nature of reality and the hidden conspiracies that may lie within our own minds. As he races against time to uncover the truth, the story serves as a haunting reminder of the fragility of memory and the lengths to which powerful forces will go to control it. This compelling narrative will leave readers questioning the very nature of their own experiences and the hidden truths that may be lurking just beneath the surface.
