There's only five weeks to go until Canada Reads is upon us once again!

The great annual Canadian book debate features five books. Each book has a champion, and their job is to convince the other champions to vote for their book as the one Canadians must read this year.

For an idea of what's to come from this year's battle of the books, we'll be featuring a new champion each week leading up to the competition. Today, champion Tasnim Geedi stopped by the studio to talk about her pick: Mexican Gothic, a horror novel by Vancouver's Silvia Moreno Garcia.

Tasnim tells Elamin about her brush with Internet fame as a TikTok creator, her strategy for this year's debate, and who she hopes to form an alliance with.
