Thing #12

I played with PLCMC's family of websites and did a broad search using "stars". I obtained some interesting results from Readersclub.org about books containing the word stars and/or planets in their titles, books about stars and planets, books about celebrities, etc. I also used a health site in which I found an interesting article about a supermarket chain (Hannaford Bros in New England) that uses a gold star rating system that assists food shoppers make healthy food choices. Foods with vitamins, minerals, whole grains earn more stars than foods with high amounts of sodium, trans fats, cholesterol which earn fewer stars or no stars at all. Food Lion is expected to adopt this star system next year. The link for this article is: health.yahoo.com/news/179103

Thing #11

LibraryThing is time consuming. It is interesting to know how many people enjoy the same kind of books you do. I found the author searches fascinating because you are given so much information about the author and his works including a picture. When adding a book to your library, the book covers are so colorful.
