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.

• Happy post-Canada Day! In case you missed it, check out this cross-country road trip highlighting great PQL books from British Columbia to the Maritimes and everywhere in between.

• The NYPL lions are now wearing masks, to “set a good example” during the pandemic, so of course we need photographic evidence.

• Awards news! Check out the winners of the Atlantic Book Awards.

• More awards news! I see some very familiar names in The Miramichi Reader’s “The Very Best” Poetry shortlist. Congrats to Shane Neilson and D. A. Lockhart!

• And this one’s just a good read: On the pitfalls of current “Black reading lists” and the need for recommendations that focus on “Black excellence and joy”.

Hope you had a wonderful Canada Day this week–perhaps your celebration has extended into the weekend? Be safe, keep cool and keep reading!

All the best!
