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.
- There are six days left in our poetry giveaway! That means there’s still time to enter to win a copy of each of the three books in Shane Neilson’s “Affect Trilogy”, including Complete Physical, On Shaving Off His Face and Dysphoria.
- Looking to test your literary knowledge? Take this first lines quiz, which will reveal just how well you know some popular modern bestsellers.
- This is a really great essay that asks, “What are we teaching boys when we discourage them from reading books about girls?”
- Is “up-lit” the new trend in book publishing? On the rise of feel-good fiction.
- And finally, we’d like to take a minute to honour David Helwig, a wonderful and inspiring Canadian writer and PQL friend who passed away this week. Our condolences to his family and friends.
Thanks for stopping by to see what’s new and noteworthy in the bookish world this week. Hope to see you here next week–same time and place.
Cheers,
