I finished Kate pretty easily last night - there were a lot of commercials during American Idol. I did enjoy the book, and like Kate, I didn't figure out right away where the trouble between her dad and the rest of his family started, even though I should have guessed it. I'm a little disappointed with where the book ended - I'd like to see more of what happens. Oh well.
Having finished that I started the newest collection of Newford tales by Charles de Lint - Muse and Reverie. I have always loved his stories (both in Newford and elsewhere)- he is an amazing writer who I'd recommend to anyone. The first book of his I read was Jack the Giant-Killer (I was making my way through as many of the Fairy Tale Series, all written by different authors) and from there fell in love with his work and haven't stopped reading them since. It's always an exciting (but dangerous, for me) day when I find a new book of his at work. I'm enjoying the first story in this book so far, but I'm pretty sure I've already read it elsewhere - but I don't care - it was a good story, and I'll read it again anyway (won't be the first time I've reread a story of his, or the last, for that matter).
In the middle of this, I'm going to also read Maud Hart Lovelace's book The Valentine Box because it sounds interesting and will be short enough that I can quickly finish it and return it tomorrow.
