Canada Reads 2019 longlist

Thursday, Jan 10, 2019 at 2:22pm

The longlist for this year's Canada Reads challenge have been revealed.

Organized by the CBC, Canada Reads is an annual "battle of the books" that strives to determine which is "the one book Canadians should read right now" based on current events. This year's particular theme is "One Book To Move You" — thus the debates will consider which of the finalists is the most thought-provoking, the most inspiring, and the most emotionally gripping.

The 2019 longlist can be found after the jump...


The shortist will be announced January 31, 2019. Each finalist will be defended by a celebrity judge during live debates on CBC Radio and television, which take place March 25-28, 2019. For more information on this year's longlisted books and authors, as well as the debates themselves, please visit CBC's website.
