The day everyone has been waiting for!! CBC Books has released the long list for the 2025 Canada Reads debates and Rebecca and Tara offer their predictions for the five books that will compete for the title!

Bailey* • A Two-Spirit Journey by Ma-Nee Chacaby, with Mary Louisa Plummer • What I Know About You by Éric Chacour, translated by Pablo Strauss* • The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue • When the Pine Needles Fall by Katsi’tsakwas Ellen Gabriel, with Sean Carleton* • Etta and Otto and Russell and James by Emma Hooper* • The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard** • Jennie’s Boy by Wayne Johnston • Becoming a Matriarch by Helen Knott • Dandelion by Jamie Chai Yun Liew • However Far Away by Rajinderpal S.
