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’ve ever thought you’d like to write a memoir, these snippets of advice on writing from life might help you tackle the project.

• I had to share this delightful headline: Publishing Your Debut Book Is Like Baking Croissants—Messy, But Worth It.

• To expand your literary horizons, check out these tips on how to read more diversely.

• How long should you dedicate to a book that doesn’t grab you? There’s the “must finish everything” camp, the “dump it after twenty pages” camp, and everything in between.

Cheers,
