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.

• “Our bookshelves are not curated by us, but first by literary agents, then publishers, then bookshops. Our choices, of what to put in them – and what not to put in them – are our own, and each choice we make will affect, albeit in a tiny way, what publishers will believe is viable commercially in the future.” On the tightrope walk of book publishing and the amplification of concerned voices by social media.

• Congratulations to the winners of the 2020 Governor General’s Literary Awards, revealed this week!

• In other awards news, the International Booker Prize, which honours fiction translated into English, has been announced as well.

• Here’s an interesting initiative that is trying to help authors earn royalties on second-hand book sales.

• And finally, Quill friend Brian Bartlett has a poem featured over at The Walrus. Check it out!

That’s it for this week’s roundup. Check back next week for more book and reading links!

Have a great weekend,
