For now, here are the books I’ve received from publishers and a bit about them (from Amazon): The Real Cost of Living: Making the Best Choices for You, Your Life, and Your Money – Every decision, from buying a home to grabbing a daily latte, has costs and benefits-personal as well as financial. The Real Cost of Living helps you make better decisions, both big and small- decisions that involve money, but aren’t all about money. Well-known personal finance expert Carmen Wong Ulrich makes personal finance personal and takes into account that we all have motivations that go way beyond number crunching. From marriage and family to career, investing, and more, Carmen examines the “real cost” of the choices we all make every day. Your Money Ratios: 8 Simple Tools for Financial Security – A troubled economy calls for answers. Forget complicated, abstract philosophy– people need sound financial advice that’s easy to follow and can be implemented immediately. For the first time, a leading financial adviser has developed a remarkable set of guidelines to give individuals the same kind of objective insight into their personal finances that successful businesses have. Your Money Ratios will help readers effectively manage debt, invest prudently, and develop a realistic and effective savings plan to ensure both financial success and security. Readers need only plug their income and age into Farrell’s ratios in order to get an instant picture of their savings status and overall financial health, as well as a roadmap for the important choices they must make in the future.

The Little Book of Currency Trading: How to Make Big Profits in the World of Forex (Little Books. Big Profits) – The foreign exchange market, or forex, was once dominated by global banks, hedge funds, and multinational corporations, but that has all changed with Internet technology and the advent of online forex brokers. Now, hundreds of thousands of traders and investors around the world can participate in this profitable field. Written by forex expert Kathy Lien, The Little Book of Currency Trading will show you how to effectively invest and trade in today’s biggest market. Page by page, she describes the multitude of opportunities possible in the forex market, from short-term price swings to long-term trends, and details practical products that can help you achieve success, such as currency-based ETFs. Power Spending: Getting More For Less – Power Spending first covers the financial basics of cash management including money psychology, budgeting, emergency preparedness, credit, debt, savings, getting good deals and teaching children about money. Then we quickly get into very specific ideas and resources to save you money on everything from food, entertainment, travel, partying and getting stuff for free. We even talk about frugal charitable giving. How to Sell Anything to Anyone Anytime – How to Sell Anything to Anyone Anytime distills the fundamental sales process into simple, easy-to-understand and easy-to-implement principles, processes and practices, and applies them to a wide variety of sales situations. It is packed with real-world examples and applications to a wide variety of situations – from the corner coffee shop, to the freelance professional, to the sophisticated B2B seller. Julian Block’s Tax Tips for Marriage and Divorce: Savvy Ways for Couples to Trim Their Taxes – To be precise, Julian Block isn’t so much talking with the married and divorce, but sharing explanations of pretty much every sort of issue couples will encounter, beginning with a set of questions and answers that he has constructed to put the issues into realistic contexts. The range of topics and the folksy way in which Julian defuses the anxiety that accompanies tax questions for most people are impressive considering he had a mere 120 pages in which to tackle puzzlers such as joint returns, tax traps for same-sex couples, property settlements, dependency exemptions for children of divorced parents, taxation of social security benefits, withholding, and even the tax consequences of having an affair.
