How To Walk Away by Katherine Center. Fiction set in the aftermath of a plane crash that leaves one half of a couple without a scratch and the other partially paralyzed. This has been my least favorite of hers so far. 302 pages, 2018
And a fun picture book too…
I Want to Be a Vase by Julio Torres. This is so colorful it demands to be reads. A delightful book about accepting people for whoever or whatever they want to be.
Which ones have you read?

Stacy, interesting to see that you’ve also recently read The Women. Lots of my book friends seem to have picked that one up. I own it, but haven’t felt the vibe for it quite yet. I am learning that some love it and some do not. Was quite the point of discussion recently at a book group meeting and it wasn’t even the book we were discussing. Ha! I’ve read How To Walk Away (Katherine Center is a local author here) and also the Tana French books. Love those especially. Hope you guys are having a good summer season and we’ll talk again soon!
How lucky for you that Katherine Center is so close. She’s like a ray of sunshine 🙂
