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.

• How’s this for some PQL author love? Susan Johnston interviewed Frances Boyle, the author of the short story collection Seeking Shade, over at Apr613.ca.

• It seems to be the default social media site for book lovers—at least when it comes to recording what they read—but many are arguing that Goodreads hasn’t done enough to get with the times and keep readers happy.

• This one’s for the design buffs—and for readers like yours truly who just enjoy looking at pretty things. Check out these samples from Joseph-Balthazar Sylvestre’s 1843 “alphabet album”, featuring lovely typographic examples that put me in mind of the Devil’s Artisan’s dingbats resource.

• Read something new and awesome today! Here are 35 Canadian writers, longlisted for CBC’s Nonfiction Prize, for you to discover.

• Speaking of writers, don’t forget—if you’re an Ontario writer, you may be eligible to apply for the Ontario Art’s Council’s Recommender Grants for Writers to help fund your next writing project. Submissions are now open!

Thanks for stopping by to see what’s new and exciting in the book world this week. We hope you’re keeping safe and happy and well stocked with books wherever you are!

Cheers,
