We are coming up on this year's Canada Reads, Canada's annual battle of the books. Five Canadian celebrities each choose one book by a Canadian author, then duke it out to determine which book all of Canada should read.

Jael is a Canada Reads superfan, and in this episode of Into the FOLD, she and Lin dive into what makes Canada Reads so special and why you should be a fan too.

Be a part of the Canada Reads fun by joining our Canada Reads reading challenge on Beanstack! Join the challenge, read one of the listed books, and be entered for a chance to win a Kobo Libra eReader! Visit ⁠thefoldcanada.org/foldreads⁠ to learn more.

Jael's Tips for Enjoying Canada Reads:

1. Join FOLD's Canada Reads challenge on Beanstack. Read at least one book (preferably all of them!) so you're familiar with it when watching the show.

2. Block off time in your schedule to watch live. (Airs April 13-16, 10am ET.)

3. Tune into Jael's Instagram Lives after each episode to hear her hot takes. (instagram.com/jaelrichardson)
