So, I was way too busy playing games, cooking and eating, eating, eating to even crack a book over Christmas. I'm hoping New Year's will allow some time to catch up.
And we did get a White Christmas!
Note: My sister (who lives overseas and is home for a few weeks) however, borrowed my copy of Catching Fire and managed to read it in less than a day! I think she liked it.

I haven't had time to replenish my book stock recently because I've been so busy with holiday cheer and errands. So, I am sadly bookless. I thought about starting the Harry Potter series again, but I'm not quite ready yet. So I rummaged my book shelf and discovered Brisingr, the third book in the Inheritence Cycle by Christopher Paolini. I've read Eragon and Eldest, but when the third book came out, I just wasn't in the mood for it and well, it's been left forgotten on my shelf. So, for the holidays, I am going to give it a go.
Merry Christmas to everyone! And here's fingers crossed for a little snow....

My account at the library says I still have A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby.
My memory says I returned that book a month ago.
Uh oh.
The Road opens at Southroads AMC today in Tulsa. It's about time!
I have high hopes for this movie. I'm not gonna lie. But it's received good reviews so I'm hopeful.
If you want happy however, this is not the movie for you. Though the good guys do prevail. They always do.
And along this note, The Sage Room is going to be having our very first giveaway soon. You won't want to miss this! So check back :)
PS - read The Road, don't just watch the movie.

When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead.
Just wanted to give the People of the Sage Room a heads up, 'cause this is a newer book.

After a somewhat obligatory viewing of New Moon, in which I was seated between rapt attention and snickers (you know who you are), the People of the Sage Room had a blogging brainstorming session. Ideas and plans for 2010 were hashed. A list was made. And the fun times rolled.
So make sure to check back and find out what new things we have planned!
PS I will say that New Moon (the movie) is a big improvement over Twilight.

Loved that it was narrated by Death, yet Death was compassionate and regretful.
Loved WWII from a child's perspective.
Loved WWII from a non-Nazi German perspective.
Loved the headings and sub-headings---they worked well in my list-making mind.
Did not love the slightly choppy feel to the writing and the abrupt ending.
