For 2014, Canada Reads asked, "What is the one novel that could change Canada?" to find the book that change readers' hearts, minds and lives, ultimately with the goal of inspiring social change.
Readers responded with thousands of recommendations. Over the last month, they were whittled down to 40, 10 and now the final five.
Last year's champion, Trent McClellan, who won with his defence of Lisa Moore's February, was announced Tuesday as this year's correspondent, and will be blogging on the Canada Reads website through the duration of the competition.
From March 3-6, the panellists will debate the merits of their books during four hour-long live debates in front of audiences.
The debates will air on CBC Radio One, CBC Books, documentary channel and CBC Television.
