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’re itching to travel again, perhaps these must-visit indie bookstores could be your destination.

• “Dracula, more than a century after it was published, remains relevant and provides a rare view of the enduring terror that mysterious infectious diseases had in the era before science.” I find this fascinating.

• “Words are technologies of power. They are life rafts in the seas of a terrifying, miraculous, complex world. They can be earth-shattering, hilarious, and uncomfortable.” A quotable piece on the power of words.

• Secret and mysterious libraries, you say? Well of course I want to learn more about them—tell me more.

• Last but certainly not least, Susan Glickman’s essay collection Artful Flight is now available! Get your print or digital copy today.

Thanks for stopping by for your weekly dose of book links. We hope you found something to entertain and/or educate you today.

Happy Friday,
