Instant Self-Hypnosis: How to Hypnotize Yourself with Your Eyes Open by Forbes Robbins Blair
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Instant Self-Hypnosis was free when I downloaded it to my Nook.

The author provides some good scripts for autogenic training. It may help break habits that are unhealthy and not useful.

I recommend it to anyone who wants to use the techniques.

The Glass Rainbow by James Lee Burke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My aunt gave me this book when she finished reading it. It is a mystery-thriller.

This is 18th in the series about Dave Robicheaux. I found myself reading aloud some of its prose. I will always remember what the short version of the Serenity Prayer is.

I recommend it to fans of the series.

The Nation's Library: The Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. by Alan Bisbort
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I bought this as a souvenir during a visit to the Library of Congress.
This book serves its purpose for it has many pictures, its text tells the history, and its text describes the many services the Library of Congress provides to our representatives and to the public.
I recommend it as a souvenir.

The Truth about Cruise Ships: A Cruise Ship Officer Survives the Work, Adventure, Alcohol, and Sex of Ship Life by Jay Herring
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was recommended to me by another passenger on a cruise ship.
This starts as an interesting memoir by a 28-year old man who decides an 8-month contract with Carnival Cruises is a better option for someone with an I/S resume than continuing to live with his parents when he loses his job and has not found another on land. The culture of working where you live and being on-call even when you are drunk deteriorates into anecdotes that might begin with, "I was so wasted when..."
I recommend it to people who enjoy reading gossip about people they don't know.

Gap Creek: The Story of a Marriage by Robert Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gap Creek was free when I downloaded it to my Nook.

A reader of romances might be tempted to select this book for its subtitle is "The Story of a Marriage," and that may disappoint for this book is more about tough times and persevering.

Instead of this book, I prefer to recommend books by author Jesse Stuart.
