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.

• If you are (like us!) excited about the upcoming publication of Ross Breithaupt’s debut novel Midland, check out this short interview with great insights into the writing process and the characters in the novel.

• Reading just before bed is something many of us have done since childhood. But if you’re finding it difficult to prop up your eyelids at night, consider trying out the pleasures of reading first thing in the morning.

• The Miramichi Reader reviewed Bruce McDougall’s recently published book of short stories, Urban Disturbances, calling it a “satisfying collection” whose “precise, staccato prose is perfectly suited to these tales of discord and struggle”. See what else they had to say about this literary gem.

• Novelists, take note! Poetry has much to teach you about writing. This National Poetry Month, take the time to learn a few new tricks.

• And finally, don’t forget that there’s still time to enter to win the six-book P.K. Page book bundle giveaway. Click here to find out how you can enter.

Thanks for stopping by this week’s roundup. If you find yourself cruising for a new book or two, keep in mind that all poetry eBooks in our eStore are 50% off this month with the coupon code NPM2021. Who can say no to that?

Keep well,
