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.

• PQL’s Frances Boyle, who’s short story collection Seeking Shade is coming soon, took part in a wonderful reading as part of Brunaby Writers’ Society’s Spoken INK series. You can watch the video (and get a taste of her work) here.

• Speaking of PQL authors doing cool things, Ed Seaward whose debut novel Fair is upcoming as well, was featured as part of the inaugural Words with Writers Podcast. Take a listen to learn about his publication journey.

• All book lovers should know the difference between TBP and MMPB. Learn about the different types of books in this short but informative Book Riot post.

• The famous Globe theatre—yes, that Globe, of Shakespeare fame—could be the next casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

• We’ve all seen those lines of effusive praise on book covers. Why do we call them “blurbs”? Some literary history right here.

You made it through another week. Well done you! Hope your weekend is full of nice weather and … maybe a little literary browsing if you’re so moved?

Cheers,
