Pyrotechnics, from George Washington Weingart, 1947, one of the most famous American (but born in Germany, of course ;)) pyrotechnicians.

This Green Bengal was invented by him. It consists of 90 grams of barium chlorate and 10 grams of shellack. I think you might have seen it before, but it's so beautiful that it can't be seen too often.  8)

I've just finished reading, one after the other, the books in the Dark Heavens series by Kylie Chan. First couple chapters I was thinking, "Eh, Twilight in Hong Kong, who needs it." Then the story just kept getting better and better, to the point where I was going, "Never mind that it's 2 in the morning, I've gotta read one more chapter and see what happens next." Book 4 has been published, Book 5 is coming out later this year, and apparently the whole opus will consist of nine volumes. Yesssss....
