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 you haven’t heard already, we’re running a book bundle giveaway on the blog. Check out the “Essential Women of Poetry” and enter to win a pretty awesome poetry prize pack.
• Speaking of poetry, the CBC Poetry Prize is now open! Check out the rules and regs, then submit your work to the CBC. The prize is a pretty impressive $6,000!
• I know it sounds crazy given that there are never enough hours in the day, but you really should dedicate a little time to reading books you think you’ll hate. Here’s why.
• Did you know that Canadian Authors for Indies Day is coming up? Brush up on what this special day is all about and find ways to support your local indies!
• And finally, if you haven’t been following our #PQLPoemADay on Facebook and Twitter, what are you waiting for? We’re celebrating National Poetry Month by providing nuggets of poetry to brighten your day. You’re welcome!

Hope you enjoyed this week’s roundup of bookish links. Fingers crossed for some lovely reading weather this weekend!

Cheers,
