BookCon 2026 | STORIES THAT COME TO LIFE IN REAL TIME. WHERE FANS MEET THE MINDS BEHIND THE PAGES. A PLAYGROUND FOR READERS, CREATORS, AND IDEAS. PANELS. SIGNINGS. EXPERIENCES THAT FEEL PERSONAL. WHERE POP CULTURE AND LITERATURE COLLIDE. DISCOVERY, CONNECTION, AND NONSTOP ENERGY. A WEEKEND WHERE STORIES STEP OFF THE PAGE. THE SPACE WHERE READERS BECOME PART OF THE STORY.
BookCon emerged as a response to something readers had been wanting for years: a space where they could engage directly with the stories and the people behind them. Evolving from the industry-focused BookExpo, BookCon opened the doors to a wider audience, transforming into a reader-driven event that celebrates not just books, but the experience of storytelling itself. Over time, it has grown into a major gathering where fans, authors, and creators come together in one shared space.
Unlike traditional book fairs, BookCon thrives on interaction. It’s a place where readers don’t just browse, they participate. Panels, live interviews, book signings, and fan-driven discussions fill the event with energy. It creates an environment where stories are not only read but talked about, questioned, and experienced in real time.
The 2026 edition continues to highlight the evolving relationship between readers and storytelling. It reflects a world where audiences are more engaged than ever, shaping conversations, trends, and the way stories are shared. BookCon stands as a space where creativity meets community, and where every voice has the chance to be heard.
Exhibitors from across the publishing world take part, including major publishers, independent authors, media platforms, and creative brands. The event floor becomes a hub of discovery, where new ideas are introduced, connections are built, and stories find their audience.
Amid the high-energy and interactive setting of BookCon 2026, Kravitz and Sons is proud to be part of a space where ideas are shared, challenged, and explored. This year, we’re excited to exhibit I Believe in Santa Claus And I Believe in God by Lynn Currie, a thought-provoking book that explores belief through both a personal and logical lens. It opens a conversation about faith, reason, and the way people understand the world around them.
What makes this book stand out is how it approaches belief without forcing it. It does not demand agreement but instead invites readers to think, question, and reflect. In a setting like BookCon where discussions matter, this book offers something deeper than just a reading experience. It brings its own identity and perspective, giving readers the chance to explore belief in a way that feels open, honest, and grounded.
A Mind That Balances Faith and Reason
Lynn Currie brings a background that blends philosophy, theology, and psychology. This combination shapes the way he presents his ideas, making them feel both thoughtful and structured. His experience in research and teaching also shows in how he builds his arguments step by step.
His writing style leans toward explanation rather than persuasion. Instead of telling readers what to believe, he walks them through how he thinks. That approach makes the book feel more like a conversation than a lecture.
There is also a sense of openness in his voice. He acknowledges that not everyone will agree, but still encourages readers to consider his perspective. That balance between confidence and respect is what makes his writing approachable.
Exploring Belief from Different Angles
I Believe in Santa Claus And I Believe in God focuses on one central idea. Belief in God can be just as reasonable as disbelief. Instead of relying purely on faith, the book looks at logic, science, and everyday understanding to support this view.
There are no traditional characters or storyline here. The “role” is taken by the author himself, guiding the reader through different arguments and reflections. The setting is more intellectual than physical, moving through ideas about existence, creation, and human understanding.
What stands out is how the book breaks down complex topics into something easier to follow. It talks about things like the origin of life, consciousness, and morality, and questions how these could exist without a higher source. The lesson is not about forcing belief, but about recognizing that belief itself can come from reasoning as much as faith.
A Conversation Worth Having
Some books tell a story, while others start a conversation. I Believe in Santa Claus And I Believe in God leans into that second space. It invites you to think, reflect, and maybe even see things a little differently.
