The Craving Mind: From Cigarettes to Smartphones to Love--Why We Get Hooked and How We Can Break Bad Habits by Judson Brewer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I purchased this ebook for myself when two different libraries did not have this book to borrow.
We humans make habits with the pattern: trigger, behavior, reward, and we can use positive or negative reinforcement. Mindfulness helps us insert curiosity before behavior to help us become disenchanted and WAKE UP!
I recommend this book to any reader who enjoys reading about neuroscience discoveries about habits.

Odessa Sea by Clive Cussler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read it because I enjoy Dirk Pitt and Al.
I give it 5 stars because Dirk Pitt is swashbuckling even in an age of RPGs and automatic weapons. Of course Dirk can do what did, and he can keep me entertained.
I recommend it only to fans of the series.

The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto: A Novel by Mitch Albom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book will be the November selection for our book club. I look forward to the discussion this book will generate.
"Everyone joins a band in this life" is a repetitive theme. My book club could be a band.
I recommend this book for other members of book clubs.
