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.

• Just what is it about Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that makes it so beloved even today? On the power of imagination and visualization in Lewis Carroll’s classic.
• I have to admit that I don’t read them a lot, but lately I’ve been thinking I should give books in translation a fair shake. We really don’t talk enough about book translators.
• In other, completely random news, I am mildly obsessed with this porcupine pencil holder. [Update: We’ve been told that when it’s in stock, the product lives here.]
• It’s only natural, given my profession, that I’m excited to read books on the history of Canadian Literature. Which is why I’m especially intrigued by Nick Mount’s Arrival: The Story of CanLit, featured this week in Partisan Magazine.
• For anyone interested in ebooks and publishing technology, ebookcraft is the place to be. Should you attend? BookNet Canada makes the pitch…

Can you believe this is the last roundup in the month of February? Where does the time go? Hopefully reading good books, am I right?

Happy Friday,
