Just got my library card! YAY BOOKS!
My local branch is teeny tiny, though, and seems to house All The Books No One Wants. That's okay, though, because we can order books from one library and have it shipped to this one. Within 5 minutes of getting my card, I've ordered:
Madame Curie: A Biography, by Eve Curie
The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements, by Sam Keen
and a Torchwood novel...can't remember which one now
The first one because I am fascinated by Marie Curie's life, especially her dedication to science. I came across a museum about her in Warsaw (I think? Somewhere in Poland, anyways), and have been curious ever since.
The second one because I am a filthy filthy science geek, and someone recommended it to me. Never thought I'd be so geeky about chemistry, but what can you do.
And the last one because the recent Torchwood series has sparked an intense craving for the first 2.5 series of the show. :D
