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.

• In honour of Black History Month, CBC Books put together a great list of Black Canadian Writers to watch this year. Start adding to your reading lists!

• And if you are looking for additional information related to the Black experience, JSTOR has put together a collection of content for further study.

• For anyone who’s ever been called a bookworm and wondered where that term came from, Book Riot dishes out some literary history.

• For those enamoured with book design, this article on colour and book cover design is a great reminder that designers can visually set up—or subvert—your expectations for a book before you even crack the spine.

• Finally, don’t forget, we have three digital copies of Frances Boyle’s fabulous short story collection Seeking Shade up for grabs on the blog. The winners will be chosen February 17, so get your entries in!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by last night’s Zoom launch for Seeking Shade! It was lovely to see so many literature lovers keen to enjoy the written word.

Have a great weekend,
