The latest instalment of CBC’s Canada Reads is being called a” turf war,” and for good reason. As usual, each of the five titles will be defended by a celebrity panelist, but this time they’ll also be representing a region of the country.

The 2013 titles and defenders are:

• B.C. and Yukon: Indian Horse (Douglas & McIntyre) by Richard Wagamese, defended by Olympic wrestler Carol Huyhn
• Prairies and the North: The Age of Hope (HarperCollins Canada) by David Bergen, defended by hockey commentator Ron Maclean
• Ontario: Away (McClelland & Stewart) by Jane Urquhart, defended by author and historian Charlotte Gray
• Quebec: Two Solitudes (Random House Canada) by Hugh MacLennan, defended by actor Jay Baruchel
• Atlantic provinces: February (House of Anansi Press) by Lisa Moore, defended by comedian Trent McClellan

Canada Reads airs Feb. 11“14 on various CBC platforms.
