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.

• It’s that time of year! Writers are invited to submit their best short fiction to the CBC Short Story Prize.

• A lovely memorial of writer and editor Stan Dragland, who passed away last month.

• Once September hits, it feels like many of us have book covers on the brain. Yours truly is no exception. If you haven’t checked it out already, here’s a post about what your humble porcupette thinks might make a good book cover.

• Speaking of book covers, are these the best of August? I wonder how these selections fit into my amateur criteria…

• And finally, here’s a great event to look forward to next week: the Fisher Small and Fine Press Fair. It’s seriously one of my favourites, and it takes place in the most beautiful reading room. If you live in the GTA, don’t miss this one. We hope to see you there!

Thanks for checking out this week’s best bookish links. We hope you enjoy your long weekend with good friends, great food, or even a nice new book!

Cheers,
