robin finished reading Atomic Habits by James Clear
No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, …
The key to developing good habits is four fold: create a cue (making it visual and obvious), create a craving (making it attractive to do the behaviour), create a response (making it easy), and create a reward (making it satisfying upon completion).
A terrific read with some excellent recommendations to live a life compounded by the gains of god habits.

Great crime caper set in 1970s Boston
5 stars
I really enjoyed the interactions between the officers Waters and Foley as Waters runs through each of the possible scenarios with his fellow officer on what to do with Jackie Brown. Great conversation flow there.

This was one I really enjoyed last year

Terrific book; one to re-read again. Bernard mentions Huxley’s "Island", as one of his favourite books, and I will read that, too.
