Building Better Relationships through READING Books!

The one thing I have done all my life is read. I read for pleasure, to learn new things, to keep up on the latest trends, for self improvement and to keep my business approach fresh. I have read and completely fell in love with L.A.Banks and her Vampire Huntress Legends. So far she has graced us with all 12 books and now has werewolves to contend with. If you love dark, sensual reading these books were written just for you! Indulge yourself and spend some quality time reading - just for the sheer pleasure of it!

L.A.Banks "The THIRTEENTH" is the LAST book in the Vampire Huntress Legends. Hated to see the series end. I have on good authority that there is more slaying to be done!
Do your thang Ms.Banks.

Yes, you can build a better relationship through reading books. We will compile a book list that by no means will be complete, just books that offer information to anyone looking to better themselves and their relationships.

I have been reading books on finding, meeting and marrying black men since before I got married (and after). Basic steps are listed in most of these books. These include making a list of required characteristics (not physical qualities) that you seek in another person. Ideally, you should also have these qualities (that is why they are called IDEALS). E-harmony actually does a great job of pinpointing these qualities for you. They can show you upfront what your dealbreakers are.

We will try to select books that will appeal to men and women, though some by their very nature will be sex specific. In addition to "self improvement" books, I welcome reading more books for the sheer enjoyment. Should you have any books you would like to add to our Must Read list, please post on our Book Review! When quoting a book, I will always list the name and author and will start out with books on our Must Read List. So, lets get started!

How to Marry a Black Man- The Real Deal

by: Mrs. Monique Jellerette deJongh
Mrs. Cassandra Marshall Cato-Louis

Excellent book. I read this after I was married and I was and am STILL impressed.

Are you the one for me?
Barbara DeAngleis, Ph.D.

Will take you much longer than the book listed above. Was a pretty good read, lots of exercises to find out your real needs and wants. Covers everthing from "giving in to lust blindness" to "compatibility time bombs".

Leon's Must READ List

The Hidden Lover
William July II

What is a Hidden Lover?

It's men who hide their true feelings. Men who think they are macho, but are really soft touches. They are compassionate, loving, understanding and caring (all the good things a woman wants) but he does not want his friend nor woman to KNOW! This book will really help any man to understand themselves better. There is something for all types of men here. This book teaches how to improve your relationship. Do's and don'ts. Every man should read this book. It has shown me who I really am, not who I thought I was. I always thought I was Superman, hard, but in fact I am a Hidden Lover.

As a Man Thinketh

Man is the sum total of his Thoughts!

A man is what he thinks. His character the sum of his thoughts (As a Man Thinketh). Actions are the blossom of thoughts, joy & suffering are it's fruits. Man is made or unmade by himself. By the armor of thought a man can build or destroy himself.
