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.

• Kirkus had some nice things to say about Ed Seaward’s Fair, calling it a “superbly composed story of a tragically lost soul”.

• I’ve always thought I’d read a fair number of the classics over the years, but this little literary classics quiz was a good reminder that I still have a ways to go.

• Do authors actually need social media? Thinking about the benefits and detractions of online promotion through social media platforms.

• This is a nice little piece on the author-editor dynamic. I like that it shows that the relationship and approach can be very, very different depending on those involved.

• And finally, we’ll wrap up with our latest newsletter, in which yours truly rambles about bookish positivity and also lets you in on what we’re working on.

We survived the first full week of 2021! (Barely?) Hope our bookish updates are keeping you entertained and optimistic.

Happy Friday,
