Top Ten - Looking Ahead

Poor blog, so neglected over the holiday season.

Everyone is doing Top 10s at this time of year, so here are 10 movies and books I'm looking forward to in 2009.

Marley and Me
Even though we know it will end in tears

Milk
Will it play in Saint John??

Doubt
With the amazing Meryl Streep

Champlain's Dream, David Hackett Fischer
New biography, excellent reviews, gift from Harvey

Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell
Another Christmas gift from Harvey

The World in 6 Songs, Daniel J. Levitin

The Great Karoo, Fred Stenson
Author of The Trade, the quintessential fur trade novel, and what could be more Canadian than that.

The Sealed Letter, Emma Donohue
Wonderful reading as part of the Lorenzo series

The Cellist of Sarajevo, Steven Galloway

The Gift of Thanks, Margaret Visser
