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.

• Education time! Brush up on these popular literary devices used in poetry and soon you’ll be versifying like a pro.

• I’m a sucker for a good bookish story, so these stories about bookworms are pretty much a must-read for me.

• Quill friend Jason Guriel wrote a piece about the art of literary name-calling and it’s exactly as engrossing as it sounds.

• Want to read more CanLit? Start with these works of Canadian fiction coming this fall.

• And finally, buckle yourselves in for this crazy story about the mysterious person stealing manuscripts before publication. Who is doing this, and for what purpose? This is the type of article that grabs me and doesn’t let go.

   

Congratulations–you’ve made it through another steamy August week. Hope you have a lovely book-filled weekend and plenty of relaxation time.

Cheers,
