The nominees that will duke it out on this year's Canada Reads were announced live on Q this morning. We're thrilled that the NeWest Press title The Bone Cage by Angie Abdou was selected to be defended by Georges Laraque, former NHL-er and current deputy leader of the Green Party.

The debates will be aired on CBC Radio One February 7, 8, and 9 at 11 am. To view the complete list of 2011 nominees visit the CBC Canada Reads website.
