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.

• I never understood why some readers prefer to turn up their noses at genre fiction. So for all my fellow readers who enjoy a good flight of literary fancy, take heart—there are good reasons for reaching for sci-fi and fantasy, especially in times of stress.

• Artists have been undervalued for so long. Has this pandemic made it even worse? On the added stresses of artists during the quarantine.

• If you’re like me, you have a veritable toppling tower of a to-read pile waiting at all times. But how do you decide what to read next?

• We could all use a few literary jokes right now. These will leave you chuckling into the weekend.

• And finally—the latest issue of the Devil’s Artisan—number 86—is hot off the press! Peek inside the pages here (and don’t forget to pick up a copy).

Happy Friday, Quill friends! I hope you got a little enjoyment, enlightenment and/or entertainment out of this week’s roundup. See you back here next week for more!

Have a great weekend,
