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.

• We’re steadily chugging through August, and as we approach September, we’re starting to see lots of blog posts featuring new releases to look for this fall. Here’s a nice round-up of Canadian fiction to add to your reading list.
• “This book tackles the truths of mortality, ostracism and grief while laughing in the face of danger….” Quick review of Joe Rosenblatt’s collection of poetry Bite Me!
• “It is comforting to delude ourselves that everything is available online, but there’s a wealth of significant material that remains only in print.” On the life-changing magic of interlibrary loan.
• Pst. Writers in Ontario. Have you heard of CITADEL? Learn more bout this interesting MFA alternative.
• And finally, in what has become known to be the Seinfeld of newsletters, the porcupette (yours truly) fights through a lack of inspiration to deliver your news and events for August.

What a nice mix of links to browse this week. Hope one or two speak to you!

Have a wonderful weekend,
