Environmental Working Group

I found this website a few weeks back; I think it was their database of cosmetics and ingredients that first got me to their page. But besides that great resource, where you can look up your favorite shampoos, skin lotions and all that other stuff we use on our bodies, they also have lots of other interesting information available.

Mysteries

I found a great website yesterday for those of you who love mysteries like I do. It’s called Stop, You’re Killing Me! It lists over 2,000 authors, all their books with the publication dates so if you want to read a series you can easily figure out the order they were written. Another nice feature are the location, job, historical and diversity indexes, so you can find that book that you read awhile back that was about a woman blacksmith who solves mysteries and has a very crazy family (Meg Langslow, written by Donna Andrews!) Then you can find other books by that author or with similar settings. There is also a “read-alikes” index so if you like, say, Agatha Christie, there are many suggestions of other authors that you might enjoy. Stop, You’re Killing Me!
