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.

It’s Friday, so we all could use a bit of fun bookish content, right? And what could be more fun than (literal) tooth-rotting fluff such as realistic book cakes? Bon appétit!
-
Did you know that early dictionary publishers purposely introduced nonsense words to their tomes to catch out plagiarism? And that, friends, is yet another reason why language and literature are so fun.
-
Did you know that The Elements of Style has been around for 100 years? If it’s been schooling us for that long, perhaps we should pay attention to these writing gems it has taught us.
-
We all need reminding now and again that name recognition is not always synonymous with writing talent. On anonymous literature.
-
And finally, this one really is worth a read: Tim Inkster provides us with some insight into the cover design process of Ed Seaward’s Fair, with his characteristic dry wit. Seriously worth a read (and a chuckle).

Thanks for stopping by to visit the PQ Weekly Roundup–so nice to see you. We hope you found a little entertainment or education in today’s crop of links. Happy weekend!
Cheers
