Hendrix ‘Henny�� Pharma had one plan that didn’t include meeting Tali Saunders . In an instant, he knew things would have to change to include his new addiction. One night wasn’t enough, but life had other plans. Will Henny get the chance to be with Tali? Or will he be left a fiend, craving the high she gave him without her to satiate him?

Lennox ‘Oz�� Anderson met what would become his obsession the night Shandea ‘Dea�� Saunders sat down to play a game of poker. The only problem was that Dea belonged to someone else. Or at least she thought she did. Oz knew what he wanted, and it was Dea. He planned to make sure she understood that it meant forever once he made her his.
Dea counted down the days until her sister Tali would graduate so they could leave Union City behind. Nothing and no one in Union City could keep her there, even her so-called boyfriend, Rodney.
Dea always seemed to have a problem choosing the right man. But what happens when the right man chooses her?

In a single night, soul ties were created that bonded these two couples in ways they’d never planned or imagined. But will betrayal, jealousy, and death make them second guess their connections being destiny or tear them apart?

]]> 58285112 The first novel in a captivating three-book series about modern womanhood, in which a young Black woman must rely on courage, laughter, and love—and the support of her two longtime friends—to overcome an unexpected setback that threatens the most precious thing she’s ever wanted.

Tabitha Walker is a black woman with a plan to “have it all.”�� At 33 years old, the checklist for the life of her dreams is well underway. Education? Check. Good job? Check. Down payment for a nice house? Check. Dating marriage material? Check, check, and check. With a coveted position as a local news reporter, a "paper-perfect" boyfriend, and even a standing Saturday morning appointment with a reliable hairstylist, everything seems to be falling into place.

Then Tabby receives an unexpected diagnosis that brings her picture-perfect life crashing down, jeopardizing the keystone she took for granted: having children. With her dreams at risk of falling through the cracks of her checklist, suddenly she is faced with an impossible choice between her career, her dream home, and a family of her own.

With the help of her best friends, the irreverent and headstrong Laila and Alexis, the mom jeans-wearing former "Sexy Lexi," and the generational wisdom of her grandmother and the nonagenarian firebrand Ms. Gretchen, Tabby explores the reaches of modern medicine and tests the limits of her relationships, hoping to salvage the future she always dreamed of. But the fight is all consuming, demanding a steep price that forces an honest reckoning for nearly everyone in her life. As Tabby soon learns, her grandmother's age-old adage just might still be true: Black girls must die exhausted.]]> 364 Jayne Allen Aone 0 4.14 2018

��𾱲�í����.

My entire life, people have called me this.

Most often, my sister Grace �� hissing it into my ear whenever she thought she could get away with it. Other times it was my classmates, counting on their words to be drowned out by the noise of other children on the playground during recess. Sometimes it would be a little kid at a restaurant, blurting out the truth before a mortified parent could shush them into silence. Occasionally it might be a stranger on the street, not actually saying anything, but glancing away in embarrassment for me, saying it all the same, even without any words.

Throughout the years, many different people have told me in many different ways, and despite my parents�� constant attempts to convince me otherwise, I know exactly what I am . . . what I’ve always been.

I have always known.

We all love nature and its species very much. But we are getting away from our natural habitat world and emerging ourselves into a world made by science and technology. A creation where we can only see skyscraper buildings and heavily rushed roads only. We are living in a polluted atmosphere and putting ourselves into the hands of harmful diseases. But it’s not in our hands to change everything at an instance happening in this world. We are helpless in this case and all we can do is to hope for our good future. But one thing we can do is that we can enjoy the natural scenes inside our home with very little cost by making a fresh water aquarium for ourselves. Aquarium is not only a good investment for us as a hobby, but it can also change our mood and approach towards the nature.
If you are thinking to add a fresh water aquarium inside your home then you have made a best decision buying this book because I have described many techniques and procedures that you must need to create and maintain a fresh water aquarium for your home. Setting up an aquarium is surely not a rocket science but it needs a step by step process to follow for best possible outcomes. I have written this book from the perspective of a beginner and you will be successfully able to create and maintain a good looking aquarium for your home. In general terms a fresh water aquarium is a tank made of glass having many fresh water aquatic plants and organisms for decorative purpose.
An aquarium is a container that can keep aquatic organisms and plants for a longer period of time inside your home for decorative purpose. Creating and maintaining a good fresh water aquarium is not a hard task unless you know some basics before you actually begin to create one for yourself. Acquiring an aquarium is a step by step process and you have to wait for some period before you actually put some fishes into your aquarium. Setting up and fully stocking an aquarium generally take some weeks to a whole month. You must provide some time with basic steps that can save you a lot of time in future.
You have to consider many thoughts inside your mind before you actually begin creating an aquarium for yourself. How much time you can provide to your aquarium? What is your budget for the aquarium? Where should you place your aquarium? What kind of fish do you want to put inside your aquarium? And many more.

]]> 8141503 There is an alternate cover edition for this ASIN here.

When FBI agents knocked on her door to investigate a ten-year-old crime, Piper Kerman barely resembled the reckless young woman she was shortly after graduating Smith College.

Happily ensconced in a New York City apartment, with a promising career and an attentive boyfriend, she was suddenly forced to reckon with the consequences of her very brief, very careless dalliance in the world of drug trafficking a decade earlier.

Following a plea deal, she spent 15 months at "Club Fed", the infamous women's correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, where she not only gained a unique perspective on the criminal justice system, but also met a surprising and varied community of women living under exceptional circumstances.

In "Orange Is the New Black", Piper Kerman tells the dramatic story of those long months under lockdown, in a place with its own codes of behavior and arbitrary hierarchies, where a practical joke is as common as an unprovoked fistfight, and where the uneasy relationship between prisoner and jailer is constantly and unpredictably recalibrated.

Revealing, moving, and enraging, "Orange Is the New Black" is a bold and wholly original entry in the canon of prison literature.]]> 322 Piper Kerman Aone 2 3.82 2010

The racially-charged prejudice of the deep South forces eighteen-year-old Alison Tillman to confront societal norms—and her own beliefs—when she discovers the body of a hate crime victim, and the specter of forbidden love turns her safe, comfortable world upside down.

Alison has called Forrest Town, Arkansas home for the past eighteen years. Her mother’s Blue Bonnet meetings, her father toiling night and day on the family farm, and the division of life between the whites and the blacks are all Alison knows. The winter of 1967, just a few months before marrying her high school sweetheart, Alison finds the body of a black man floating in the river, and she begins to view her existence with new perspective. The oppression and hate of the south, the ugliness she once was able to avert her eyes from, now demands her attention.

When a secretive friendship with a young black man takes an unexpected romantic turn, Alison is forced to choose between her predetermined future, and the dangerous path that her heart yearns for.

HAVE NO SHAME is an emotionally compelling coming of age novel featuring a young woman who cannot reconcile the life she wants with the one she’s been brought up to live.Have No Shame will resonate with anyone who has ever fallen in love, and those who have been forced to choose between what they know in their hearts to be true, and what others would like them to believe.]]> 304 Melissa Foster 098905084X Aone 3 3.81 2013

By turns shocking and lyrical, unblinking and raw, the searingly honest memoirs of Eldridge Cleaver are a testament to his unique place in American history. Cleaver writes in Soul on Ice, "I'm perfectly aware that I'm in prison, that I'm a Negro, that I've been a rapist, and that I have a Higher Uneducation." What Cleaver shows us, on the pages of this now classic autobiography, is how much he was a man.]]> 242 Eldridge Cleaver 038533379X Aone 3 3.98 1968

Speaking of Lamar, he had some shit with him as well. In a crazy twist, he and Kim became close—very close for that matter—when they had sex for the first time. Not only did they have downright fist pumping sex, they were now under the "friends with benefits" clause, which made it a daily routine to sleep with one another. Lamar's only problem was keeping his feelings for Falisha and Kim a secret. He didn't want either woman to know about the other, so he now had to wear two hats and live two lives.

Ralphy found out about Lisa's spending habits and her "cabin fever" with Dre. Their relationship was pretty much over, but even after getting caught sleeping around, Lisa was hoping that she would be able to fix their marriage. He had other plans though. Ralphy wanted to face the man who ravaged his wife and broke up his happy home, all the while planning for his divorce. What he was going to do or say, only God knows, and hopefully you will too after you read the final installment in the first series of "Single Ladies".]]> 39 Blake Karrington Aone 4 4.57 2013

Tammy found out, that Chris was lying about how much time he was sentenced to when he went to court. The seven year bit hit Tammy hard considering the fact that she had two of Chris's kids to take care of. It was already a struggle for her on a day to day basis and now this. She was so mad and hurt, she ended up breaking up with him, but not before getting the spit smacked out of her mouth for being so flamboyant about her readiness to see other people.
What Tammy thought was the worst, had only turned out to be the beginning. It was more drama to be uncovered. More skeletons in Chris's closet, that was going to put the nail in the coffin and possibly bury their relationship once and for all.

*

Lamar was showing Falisha the true meaning of love and affection. Although she was caught up in a relationship with Big Fox, she couldn't help but to enjoy the way Lamar made her feel. She was opening up slowly, but at the same time, he wasn't going to wait forever. Falisha need to choose asap.

*

It was a war going on in Ralphy and Lisa's home. She made a rookie mistake by calling out Dre's name while Ralphy was giving her some head. That simple incident sparked an all out investigation by Ralphy. He was on the verge of uncovering the truth about what his wife had been doing while he wasn't around. Adultery was a grave sin, in any religion, and Islamically the punishment for it was a stoning, to the death. Ralphy wasn't Muslim, but he sure as hell felt the need to adopt that ruling if in fact he did find out that Lisa was sleeping around. All of the pieces to the puzzle was there, all he had to do was put them together.

Strolling in on Vernon and his mistress one night, Brandi Spencer insists that the new woman in his life come home and earn her keep the honest way—on her feet helping the wife clean the house, keep the children and pay the bills, instead of laying on her back servicing the husband.

Tanya Kaufman has had one shock too many—one minute she's a fiancée, the next she finds out she's been the mistress all along. When Tanya shows up during the surprise anniversary party to take Brandi up on her offer, the women seize the opportunity to teach Vernon that infidelity will no longer come at the expense of the women's time, money, and happiness. Vernon fights back by launching a high-profile court battle that doesn't have a thing to do with splitting the money, keeping the house, or visitation rights.

Well damn...reading all these other reviews about this book, it seems like I'm the only one who liked it. I really liked it in fact. Now I want to see the movie so I can do a comparison. I read it because I kept hearing how good it was, and also because I wanted to see the movie. I've never read anything by this author before and I probably won't read anything else by her. So anyway, I liked the book. It was a nice break from the urban drama that I usually read.

I still don't see when he was able to still her credit card info, but whatever. And she know her grown butt is too old to fighting at the club! Anyway, I liked the book. I hope the author gives each of the ladies their own book.

Okay, so this book was pretty good I guess. It was a quick read. All the characters were cool except I didn't feel like Tina really had an important place in this book. I wish it would have told a little more at the end of the book about what happened with the characters. I was wondering what the problem was between Ann and Carol and why they really broke up. I think Faith, Hope and here mother should all go to a therapist together so they can talk about the past and move on. I didn't figure it out about the surprise wedding until a few pages before the author revealed it. I thought that was cool, I guess. I would not want my boyfriend to surprise me with my own wedding though. But anyway, it was a cool book.
