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.

• Another roundup, another great piece about Charlene Elsby’s Affect. This interview really showcases Charlene’s fantastic sense of humour.

• Now that’s some family loyalty! Dante’s decedents are trying to have the poet’s conviction for corruption overturned … 700 years after the fact.

• Why are digital textbooks so expensive? On the trend that has some institutions scrambling to find e-resources that are available—and affordable—rather than books students most need to learn.

• If you’re in need of a spy novel with a badass female lead, look no further.

• Don’t forget to check out our latest newsletter, in which yours truly lets you in on what’s coming up next from the PQL. (Also featuring a curmudgeonly porcupette griping about declining production values, without naming names, of course.)

Thanks for stopping by to see what’s up in on our weekly roundup. We hope you stay warm this snot-freezing-in-your-nose-cold weekend. But you know what doesn’t require venturing out into the unforgiving world? Registering for the virtual launch of Frances Boyle’s Seeking Shade!

Hope to see you there,
