Life is too Short to Read a Bad Book

Other than my family, my passions are reading, genealogy, cooking, health (ok, weight loss), travel, and music. I wish I had the money to really travel, but I don't.....and I can't sing. Well technically I can, but not well - the only key I know is "off-key". So that leaves genealogy, reading, cooking, and weight loss. Authors, please don't friend me and then recommend your books to me. Although I appreciate your passion behind the work, I'm not a fan of self-promotion on my account. Thanks for understanding!
