unsettled: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt: A review in Two parts
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-goldfinch-by-danna-tartt-review-in.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Friday, November 15, 2013. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt: A review in Two parts. Part One is here. I read Donna Tartt's The Secret History. A few years ago and loved it. It's a favorite. So I was super excited to hear that she was finally publishing something new. The Goldfinch. Propels you through the hard stuff. It's life. And it's pretty stunning. Oh, and there's also a painting. Every fucking post.get out of my life! I think the power of the Vegas bit of Goldfinch. Does to m...

unsettled: Battleborn...No, not THAT Battle Born
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013/08/battlebornno-not-that-battle-born.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Friday, August 23, 2013. Battleborn.No, not THAT Battle Born. If you were one of my former Goodreads friends, you may have read this review already. Well, here's a spruced up version I wrote for my monthly staff pick at the store in an attempt to actually sell the damn thing. I agonized over this review the first time.and I agonized over it again the second time. Anyways, here it is. By Claire Vaye Watkins. Just hear me out, okay? For some phenomenal writing. Bonus: if you watc...

unsettled: The Killers: Update
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-killers-update.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Friday, September 27, 2013. In order to avoid all the endless Killers posts that seem to be happening, I'm consolidating them into one GIANT post. It's totally convenient because you can easily find all the super important news about the world's greatest band, or you can easily skip the entire post if you are (more than likely) not interested. They released a new song earlier this month. Some of you may. I made a chart about how I feel about the song. I mean, COME ON! Last week...

unsettled: Have you guys heard of this cat... Bob Dylan? I think he's going places.
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013/11/have-you-guys-heard-of-this-cat-bob.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Saturday, November 30, 2013. Have you guys heard of this cat. Bob Dylan? I think he's going places. I'm on a musical odyssey. Some of you have witnessed this. Why it's happening now, I don't know. I'm sure it has a bit to do with my unholy and ridiculous obsession with The Killers, and a lot to do with feeling unmoored and lost, but mainly it's because I've never really done this before.and it's fun. What sparked this earnest and sappy post is this. View my complete profile.

unsettled: How adorable was Brandon Flowers this week?
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-adorable-was-brandon-flowers-this.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Friday, November 8, 2013. How adorable was Brandon Flowers this week? I'm glad you asked. Here he is being adorable on some sort of mass transit. This is him being an adorable groupie. Talking about the new Morrissey Autobiography given to him by an interviewer (it's currently only available in the UK.come on Penguin! 8220;It's gotta be pretty good, huh? Says the 32-year-old with something like awe. “It's big. Damn. It's cool…. 8230; His mom was pretty…”. Here he is being adora-.

unsettled: December 2013
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. To Sonic Boom. Because, after all, I do still buy music.in cd form, if you can believe it. I still don't buy anything from the iTunes or any other interwebs place, but I will lay down some hard earned cash at my local record store. Also, my new vinyl obsession sort of leaves me no choice but to patronize Sonic Boom. And why not? So, back to New Music Tuesday. Here's some of the stuff I picked up from the library today and am loving:. A Shelf of One's...

unsettled: September 2013
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Monday, September 30, 2013. I Told You SO! The other day, I was walking to the bus stop, rather briskly as I was running late (natch). While walking, I was digging through my bag for my mp3 player, becoming more desperate by the moment because I couldn't find it, and imagining the interminable 30 minute bus ride that would ensue minus tunes. Luckily I had it, because I was ready to turn back, damn the lateness! Library cds.that creeper in the background. Currently addicted to t...

unsettled: May 2015
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. What I've Been Reading. I never, ever thought I would care about Mixed Martial Arts fighting (cage fighting if you need a visual) let alone read an entire book about it. It's violent, and dangerous, and just so stupid. But then I found this book; a world-expanding and wonderfully weird read about philosophy and obsession, failure and hope, and yes- cage fighting. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

unsettled: October 2013
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Thursday, October 31, 2013. Everything is the worst. Nothing will ever be awesome again. Not even Halloween, my favorite holiday, can make me feel better. Seattle sucks. I want to be in Las Vegas! I need Las Vegas! I am Las Vegas! Okthat may be overdoing it a bit. But just a little. Let me clarify: I want to relive this last weekend forever. Forever. Oh, and I would like to relive meeting Brandon Flowers over and over and over and over and over again. But what can I do? Once in...

unsettled: On favorite Books & FAVORITE Books: A review of The Goldfinch in two parts
http://unsettledseattle.blogspot.com/2013/11/on-favorite-books-favorite-books-review.html
Books, and cats, and naps. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. On favorite Books and FAVORITE Books: A review of The Goldfinch in two parts. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. A Short History of Nearly Everything. And more recently, Amor and Psycho. I have a lot of favorite books. And these FAVORITES are the books that make me believe, just a little bit, in magic. FAVORITE books are perfect and painful. And the list is much shorter, and doesn't seem to fluctuate much. The Shipping News. By Donna Tartt to the list.
