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.

• It’s that time of year again—the Canada Reads 2018 Longlist is here!
• Is the trend of writing fiction with an eye toward potential film or television adaptation damaging the literary endeavour? This article asks, “If [novelists] don’t want to save the novel, why should anyone else?”
• If you’re interested in the evolution of how humans communicate, check out this discussion of the effects of the internet age on the way we speak and write.
• Feeling nostalgia for 2017? We are, too. Here’s a short recap of our year in photographs.
• But don’t worry—we’re not just looking back. We’re also looking forward! We’re proud to see Mark Frutkin’s The Rising Tide featured on 49th Shelf’s Most Anticipated Spring Fiction Preview.

Hope these links whet your appetite for bookish news this week. Be sure to stop by again next week for a fresh helping.

Have a great weekend,
