If you're like us, you're fighting your way into 2014, trying to get a grip on work and life, inching away from holiday excesses, and hoping that if you tell the New Year enough times that it will be bright and brilliant, it simply will be. A little contest to the rescue: Tell Us How It Was, where your review of a Canadian book you read this holiday (or in 2013 in general) gets you a chance to win five books of your choosing from our Most Anticipated Spring Fiction list.

Until January 31, 2014, every review you post on the site—from a few sentences to a few paragraphs—gets you one chance to win the five-book prize pack. A random draw will determine the winner.

Everyone who's anyone is agreeing that 2014 stands to be one of the most stellar Canadian fiction years this country has ever seen, so this is a great chance to bite right into it! Good luck.
