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.

• Is domesticity the enemy of creativity? To me, this piece speaks to the economic reality of writing, the evolution of the writer from careerist to hobbyist, and changing ideas about interpersonal relationships.

• If you’re in need of a laugh, these terrible book covers for classic books should do the trick.

• The literary journal Riddle Fence is launching a book imprint to help debut authors get published. Sounds like opportunity!

• For anyone fascinated by behind-the-scenes publishing memoirs, John Metcalf’s might be of interest.

• And finally, this bonus content for anyone who has read Daniel Bryant’s Rerouted is sure to inspire a guffaw or two!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the outdoors beckon. It’s going to be a reading-on-the-porch weekend for this porcuette! Hope you enjoy a little bookish escape as well.

Cheers,
