About Another Kate

CBR 6
CBR13 participant

I liked the LOST finale and thought THE DARK KNIGHT was just okay. That probably tells you all you need to know about me and my eccentric tastes. Reader, writer, dog and cat lover, old house aficionado, proudly Gen X. My goal in life is to discover a century-old diary filled with romance, tragedy, and mystery.

How to Be a Woman (1915 Edition)

K. by Mary Roberts Rinehart

January 20, 2021 by Another Kate 2 Comments

Mary Roberts Rinehart is best-known today for her influential mystery novels, but K. is basically General Hospital set in 1915, only quieter and more gentle—at least on the surface. What appears to be a rather slow-moving tale of romance and mild intrigue in a small-town hospital is actually a fascinating and even nuanced exploration of what it meant to be an unmarried woman in 1915. As fiction…well, you really need to be in the mood. But as a sociological document, it’s absolutely fascinating. Read all […]

They Fuck You Up, Your Mum and Dad. Return the Favor.

We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver

May 26, 2014 by Another Kate Leave a Comment

We Need to Talk About Kevin is a character study of a very unhappy woman who believes that she deserves to be unhappy, and maybe she does, but maybe she doesn’t, and her hate is a form of love and her love is a form of hatred. Through Eva, Shriver takes you on a powerful, haunting journey. Whether or not it’s a journey you’ll be glad you took is another question entirely. Find out why here.

Well-Hung Angels and the Anxious Investment Bankers Who Love Them

Trinity Stones: The Angelorum Twelve Chronicles by L.G. O'Connor

May 12, 2014 by Another Kate Leave a Comment

“Vampires, succubi, demon kings, and other bad boys of the supernatural realm get a lot of press, but where’s the love for our winged protectors from on high?” …Right here, as it turns out.  Please note: In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I found this to be one of the more inconsistently edited works I’ve read. However, if you’re a fan of the Angels Among Us genre, or urban fantasy more generally, you’ll want to at least give it a […]

Women in Peril and the Lonely Lords Who Swive Them

Gareth, Lord of Rakes and Andrew, Lord of Despair by Grace Burrowes

March 29, 2014 by Another Kate 2 Comments

“Oh, to live in Grace Burrowes’ Regency England. This is a magical world where the aristocracy’s finest specimens of masculinity are, to a man, well over six feet tall, with all their hair and all their teeth. They are careful stewards of their wealth, which is considerable. Despite what the historical record might suggest, they bathe frequently, and instead of smelling of whiskey, the stables, or their own stinky sweat, they rather have about their persons the pleasing scent of bergamot or cedar. In the […]

Pretty Good Taste, Not Very Filling

Everyone Wants to Be Me or Do Me: Tom and Lorenzo's Fabulous and Opinionated Guide to Celebrity Life and Style by Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez

February 17, 2014 by Another Kate 2 Comments

This book retains TLo’s trademark snark but dispenses with the knowledgeable fashion analysis and commentary that lift their site into the stratosphere, far and away above the “WHO WORE IT BEST?” columns in the likes of People and Us. Instead, they train their sights on the celebrity machine, and carefully explain the care and feeding of a typical celeb — how he or she becomes famous, behaves while famous, and tenaciously clings to fame. The result is a fitfully entertaining screed, devoid of the very […]

You, Too, May Strike It Rich

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

February 16, 2014 by Another Kate Leave a Comment

…The group is broken into teams of two unrelated “players,” and at the start each team is provided with an envelope containing several apparently random words and a check for $10,000. And that’s all. As the teams work together to solve the mystery (whatever it is), they must face disasters both natural and unnatural; personal crises — most of them turn out to have some connection with Westing, which they may or may not be willing to disclose, or in fact even realize; the vagaries […]
