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.

• Everybody likes a good peek under the covers! *wink, wink* This week, we featured an excerpt from Metamorphosis, Selected Children’s Literature by P. K. Page. Don’t miss her charming poems, plays and stories, full of wordplay and wisdom.

• Speaking of literature for the little ones, have you ever wondered if the children’s books you’re reading are perpetuating racist ideas? Here are some questions to ask to help you evaluate your kids’ reading material.

• If you’ve found yourself in a reading slump lately, you’re not alone. This fascinating piece looks at the neuroscience behind this inability to read.

• If you’re a Canada Reads fan, you’ll be happy to know the CBC literary fixture is back, with new books and judges announced to battle it out for our amusement.

• Last, but certainly not least, we’d like to draw your attention to the 49^th Shelf Spring Fiction Preview, which features two upcoming PQL titles: Ross Breithaupt’s debut novel Midland, and Mark Frutkin’s fascinating historical novel The Artist and the Assassin, about the mercurial painter Caravaggio.

Congratulations on making it through another week! Take a break and relax this weekend with a good book or two. (I’m happy to provide suggestions!)

Cheers,
