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.

• For anyone needing a little bookish good news, this article about the kindness of a stranger in helping a Winnipeg teacher buy books for her students should do it.

• There have been quite a few articles and posts about plagiarism that have popped up recently. This piece asks how and why, in the age of all kinds of technological tools, is plagiarism still possible?

• Imagine how, without access to word processors or whiteout, you’d edit your work. Jane Austen apparently edited with straight pins. I’d end up a pincushion!

• We’ve all seen it when authors have a specific look when it comes to the designs of their standalone books. Why is it that some get the “branded” treatment and what goes into it?

• And finally, Leon Rooke’s new poetry collection, Rank Songbirds is coming soon. You can get a taste of it here on Open Book with an exclusive excerpt!

Another snowy Friday here in Ontario. Hope you’re hunkered down, warmed up, and stocked with books.

Have a great weekend,
