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.

• Many thanks to Junction Reads for featuring Frances Boyle and Seeking Shade in one of their recent virtual events. You can check out the reading/talk on YouTube!

• Do you ever feel like you could get so much writing done if only you weren’t distracted? Distraction-free writing devices are here to help. (Maybe?)

• It’s tough to compete with Amazon these days, but it would appear that some booksellers are shooting themselves in the foot. Maybe there’s a reason for this, but I can’t quite grasp it!

• A little seasonal content here: A look at the politics of Charles Dickens’s holiday classic, A Christmas Carol.

• The latest issue of the Devil’s Artisan, our journal of the printing arts, is out! The issue features Will Reuter’s The Aliquando Press, a profile of caricaturist and printmaker John Wilson (Jack) McLaren, a look at the studio of Robert Wu, bookbinder and marbler, and more. You can get your copy in print or digital form on the Devil’s Artisan website.

That’s all for this week’s book links roundup. Thanks for stoping by. Before you go, did you know that you could win the three most recent issues, in print, as part of our PQL Holiday Giveaway? Click here to enter.
