Every Friday, the PQ Weekly Roundup collects the most shared links in our social media network—bookish articles, reviews, quizzes, recommendations and more—in convenient digest form.

• If there’s one thing we’re asking all the time in the publishing biz, it’s what is the future of reading? Here’s one man’s attempt at an answer.
• Want to read FREE poetry by this year’s RBC Bronwen Wallace Award nominees? Yeah, we thought so. (Follow the iTunes link in the article to download.)
• It’s like a sickness. It is practically impossible not to click these links to articles about stunning bookstores around the world. Just enjoy without shame.
• Books have an amazing power to forever change how we think. Check out this list of thought-provoking—and changing!—books.
• We have been extremely lucky to have so many PQL titles recognized by the 2015 Independent Publisher Book Awards. Congratulations to the following winners:
  • George A. Walker, The Wordless Leonard Cohen Songbook (2015 Outstanding Book of the Year: Most Outstanding Design)
  • Jeet Heer, Sweet Lechery (Bronze medal, Best National Essay / Creative Non-Fiction)
  • Bruce McDougall, Every Minute Is a Suicide (Bronze medal, Best Regional Fiction, Canada-East)
  • Bruce Meyer, The Seasons (Silver medal, Best Regional Non-Fiction, Canada-East)
  • Marika Deliyannides, Bitter Lake (Gold medal, Best Regional Fiction, Canada-West)

Hi everyone! We’re back this week with the PQ Weekly Roundup. Sorry if you missed us last Friday, but with so many rehearsals and so much fetching for the Fabulous Fictions cabaret, this porcupette spent too long away from a keyboard to do a creditable job rounding up the links.  But now that we’re back in action, be sure to send in your best bookish links in the comments below. We’re happy to share!

Cheers,
