The Lost Husband: A Novel | Katherine Center
post image
Pickpick

#Read2025 I‘ve been under the impression that Katherine Center is a writer of rom-coms. Of course, I‘ve only read one other book by her and, while it was promoted as a rom-com, it still touched on some very serious topics. This book is not a rom-com. It begins with some sad things, some sad things happen in the middle, and the ending leaves questions about what will happen next. It ends on a hopeful note and I enjoyed this book. Recommended.

TEArificbooks The movie is good too. Might still be on Netflix 6d
wanderinglynn Agree. Of the books I read of hers, I would not call them rom-coms. Contemporary fiction romance, yes because the 3 I read dealt with rather heavy topics. (edited) 6d
CatLass007 @TEArificbooks Oh. I didn‘t know there was a movie. @wanderinglynn Ordinarily I don‘t read books that are labeled strictly as romance or rom-com. But when I read the summary of Hello Stranger it sounded so intriguing. And it was. It was interesting, sweet, intelligent, and yes, romantic. I definitely would read other books she‘s written. The Lost Husband is currently free on Audible. Free is always an excellent incentive. (edited) 6d

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

This was a nonfiction piece that was originally intended to be an expose‘ on the commercialism and corruption of Christmas. Instead, it became a slice of life piece of the suburb of Frisco Texas as it prepares for the Christmas 2006 holiday. The author follows the stories of Tammie, a home decorator; Jeff & Bridgett, homeowners with a ridiculous light display; and Carol, a single mother.

This was a reread/listen for me and I absolutely love it!

Loved it!! Sweet book about two HS boys who are quite opposite; one closed down and the other very open and honest but both very good souls. #MexicanAmerican #Texas

I‘m a bit bummed I didn‘t like this one more. I loved two of her other books. It‘s possible that it‘s because it‘s about a man trying to enact vigilante justice, searching for his sister‘s murderer with plans to kill him. Which sounds like it could be exciting, but I was bored. And I guess I don‘t like the idea of revenge?

Anyway, Venkman is posing for you, wishing you a happy holiday. 🐈‍⬛❤️💚❤️🎄

🎄 Malachi‘s Christmas outfit - that‘s a FABulous Mickey Mouse sweater 😍.

🎄 #LittleChristmasSwap #LCS package received @Jadams89 ! 👏🏼👏🏼 Now just have to wait… 😉
Btw, receipt of package a minor miracle bc our postal carrier decided for no discernible reason that we‘d moved with no forwarding address and forwarded 4 packages and all our mail for a couple days. 😳 They caught this one in time!! 😅

🎄An unfortunately accurate chuckle… 😉

I tried reading this so many times and it was just an uphill battle (I'm the worst at refusing to DNF, but I‘m working on it). I finally made it halfway through, switched to audio and it just came to life for me. A black Texas ranger finds himself in a small town trying to solve multiple murders. I loved her descriptions, but I don't think I'll continue the series.
