The Suddenly Kate Show

Are you on goodreads? If so, lets be friends :D You can find me here. 
If you are wondering why I am asking its because this is where I have a list of all the books I am currently reading or want to be reading. I have to confess that for every book I read I do start one that is as of now in progress. The majority tend to be non-fiction books that have suitable places to stop and pick up again but on occasion I have a fiction book that I just am not compelled to finish but still want to try to. One of my failings is not reading enough. I blame the fact that I can read relatively swiftly (4hrs per novel) and that in itself means the story has been and gone before I am invested. The very best books tend to lead me on a merry chase of reading books similar to it, set in the same environment, written with the same themes and if there is a film version, yes, you guessed it, I will watch it. Below is a list of books I am reading and that I want to read....and please please recommend your fa…

So...the self-saboteur that lives in my brain informed me yesterday that as it was a Saturday that I didnt need to post....yeah right! Mother nature was kicking my butt so i'm adding that to my excuse pile. So here I am, sat in my garden, sun shining, bee harassing me and poised to post not once but twice today. 
So...lets kick it all off with the simplest list on my list of lists...or at least I thought it would be until I realised that I have an aversion to unwanted items in my handbag.
1. Purse I have a purse but all I keep in it is small change, bank card and ID. It is a nice pink leather Radley purse and my iphone fits in that if I just want to use that instead of the large bag. 
2. Iphone I do keep this in my bag whenever it is not tucked in my bra strap...heheh....ladies with larger boobies might relate more to this extra storage space.
3.Other cards Other cards are kept here and by other its mainly loyalty cards...you can't seem to go anywhere without being given one,…

There are some rules as to what can be considered worthy of going on this list…


It has to be cheesy/crazy/happy/empowering.Has to evoke spontaneous booty shaking or over acting out of the lyrics or singing at the top of your lungs. A friend and I created a playlist of the same name as this post only we weren’t limited to 10 and we came to rest at 49!! So, as you can imagine it was a bit tricky to select a mere 10, so I pressed play random and these were the first 10 that were played.  If you are on Spotify you can find the full list here:  Songs to sing whilst dancing around your bedroom in your underwear

1. Cheerleader – Felix Jaehn Remix


A relatively recent release that made the list, it’s a nice summery happy-ish sounding song.
2. Poker Face – Lady Gaga



Yes, the old Lady Gaga and not the new Jazz singing version.      
3. Womanizer – Britney Spears



Love her or hate her, she was given some great songs (or wrote them herself, who knows? Anyone?) I also really love the video!
4. Mickey – Ton…

10 most popular pieces of writing from the lifetime of my blog(in order of popularity)

1. Conquer
In the mad rush to bear arms and stand firm, young Michael had found himself pushed to the front of the army, he would be one of the first to battle.
He glanced behind to see if he could find a way to move further back, but the one thousand men and boys were staying close together, as they anticipated the Commanders signal.
It was not his first battle, he had been trained to fight for twelve of his sixteen years, but there would be no tomorrow if they were to lose today.
He couldn't let his fear defeat him, he was here to defend the lives of those he loved and he was prepared to do so to the death.
As the Commander gave the battle cry Michael and the others returned it in unison and moving as one they ran forward, weapons cocked, eyes wide, blood searing through their veins, the enemy in sight.
2. Whisper

An empty room can be so full your body is crushed into a ball. 
A dark room can be so bri…

10 Superhero powers people wish they had (in no particular order)1. Fly Is this the most popular of powers? I am not a fan of heights so flying around doesn't appeal to me. I would imagine that I would get distracted and fly into something, a plane, a helicopter, a building or a tree. Also, when you arrived anywhere your hair would be a total mess! The speed of flight is never specified and a single power of only flight wouldn't be so great, now flight and super strength or flight and super speed and we have Superman, but just being able to fly...meh!
2. Morph This is definitely one I would consider, if I had the choice, I would be Mystique! lol! You could be anything, a fly on the wall (so I wouldn't need invisibility powers), a bird (so I wouldn't need flight powers)...and so on. Its decided, I'm sending my application into Marvel...right now...Oh I can't wait!

3.Speak to animals
My niece would LOVE this one. She is fascinated with animals, and is great with them,…

Welcome, welcome to the first day of my self-imposed 30 days of lists challenge! First up is a topic that I have chosen because my aunt is celebrating 25 years of marriage and I feel like I should mark the occasion in my own small way :) So, drum roll please.......

10 Things people might do to celebrate a big anniversary1. Have a party.  I know some people prefer a quiet intimate affair - well not actually an affair - we are celebrating marriage after all! I think that celebrating events such as birthdays and the like is great, life is so short so why not celebrate every chance you get, admittedly I am not a big fan of parties every weekend but once a year is fine with me. 

I think you could probably make it more fun by having people wear something from the decade that you were married in, or have couples come dressed as you and your husband, or (seeing as 25 years is the Silver wedding anniversary) why not have your hubby dress as Long John Silver and you as someone from the Silver scre…
