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.

• A photojournalist faked an entire book in a commentary on how difficult it is to spot misinformation and fake news and the kicker is … nobody noticed.

• We all keep hearing about the supply chain shortage and how it’s affecting delivery of all sorts of products. What’s next? Well, apparently, we are running out of the colour blue.

• For anyone who, like me, has a particular fondness for writing things out by hand, on paper, this little piece will make you feel understood.

• What do old books actually smell like? Have no fear—science has the answer.

• Imagine what it would be like if you couldn’t picture what was happening in your book as you read it? It’s called aphantasia, and while it’s a different way of reading, it’s one with its own pleasures.

Thank you for stopping by to catch up on this week’s book links. We hope you have a safe, happy and fun Halloween weekend!

Wishing you a delightfully spooky Friday,
