How Do You Measure the Worth of a Novel?

December 1, 2021 by Margaret Duarte

How do you measure the worth of a novel?

Unless a novel is a leather-bound, signed, limited edition by a well-known author, it holds no significant monetary value. Once read, especially if it’s a paperback, it’s often donated to charity or passed on to a friend. So, is purchasing a novel a waste of money? That depends on how much you value being introduced […]

Family History: choices, not genetics

Interest in ethnic origin searches and genealogical DNA testing has become one of the most popular hobbies in the US. Over-the-counter genetic test kits alone have developed into a billion-dollar industry. Just give your personal information to one or more genetic databases, and, in exchange, sites, such as myheritage.com, genealogy.com, ancestry.com, and genealogybank.com offer easy […]
