Katherine Center | The Love Haters

What:

We are very excited to welcome Katherine Center to celebrate her new book, The Love Haters.

There are two ticket options:

1. Admission PLUS book
2. Admission ONLY for those who pre-ordered the book for us. You will enter that order number or name/email on the order at checkout.

For both types of ticket, you will pick up your book AT THE EVENT.

All attendees will be entered into a drawing to go through a meet and greet line with Katherine after the event.

About the Author:

BookPage calls Katherine Center “the reigning queen of comfort reads.” She’s the New York Times bestselling author of over half a dozen books, including How to Walk Away, Things You Save in a Fire, and What You Wish For. Katherine writes laugh-and-cry books about how life knocks us down—and how we get back up. She’s been compared to both Jane Austen and Nora Ephron, and the Dallas Morning News calls her stories, “satisfying in the most soul-nourishing way.” Her books have made countless Best-Of lists, including RealSimple’s Best Books of 2020, Amazon's Top 100 Books of 2019, Goodreads' Best Books of the Year, and many more. Bestselling author Emily Henry calls her summer 2022 book, The Bodyguard, “a shot of pure joy.” The movie adaptation of Katherine’s novel The Lost Husband (starring Josh Duhamel) hit #1 on Netflix, and her novel Happiness for Beginners is now a Netflix original starring Ellie Kemper. Katherine lives in her hometown of Houston, Texas, with her husband, two kids, and their fluffy-but-fierce dog.
