I'm currently working on an upcoming exhibition at work called "The Art of Alchemy", and I'm geeking out like a big ol' very excited geek, 'cause DISCOVERY OF WITCHES! And Shadow of Night! And Book of Life! An hour ago I was 2 inches away from an open 12 foot scroll of actual alchemical drawings and symbols and text, and I just wanted to hug it so badly. And make prints from it to hang on my walls. (Also, it smelled so wonderful.)
It was very hard for me to not ask the curator if there would be video of a recreation of the Diana's Tree experiment. (Although apparently there *will* be video of at least some alchemical experiments, so squeeeee!)
Polgara, that sounds amazing!
Sometimes my job is awesome. I kinda want to send a fan letter to Deborah Harkness and be all, because of you I am loving this exhibition!

Awesome, I am geeking out right there with you. You should go ahead and write her. She's really nice and approachable -- good dinner party guest, as it turns out.
Polgara, that's so very cool
That sounds deeply cool, Polgara. If the exhibition has a website, I hope you'll link us up.
Has anyone else read
Where'd You Go, Bernadette?
I just started it and I love it! Really sharply funny and I think about to be sort of heartbreaking, too.
Yes--I have it on my list to re-read soon, because I don't remember it very well. But I do remember how funny and Seattle-y it was
Yes to both! I have so much stuff to do this afternoon, and I resent all of it because I just want to read this book.
