Best movie I watched in 2010: I'd have to go for Avatar, because it was visually so stunning and the fact that they created a whole world with plant and animal species was great. Besides, I love epic movies!

10 favourite books
Best book I read in 2010: The road home by Tommy Tenney, because translating a story from the Bible into a modern day novel can go wrong on so many levels, but this book is just lovely! The story of Naomi and Ruth fits seemingly effortless into this modern tale of finding faith, finding yourself and above all, finding a home.
