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.

• The financial realities of authorship are pretty harsh. This is why writers call their work a labour of love…

• The Writers’ Trust has announced the winners of this year’s literary prizes. Here are the books you might want to check out.

• Have you been wanting to read more non-fiction? According to readers, these books are essential non-fiction reading.

• “Personification, wit, adornment and adjournment, the oxymoron of ineffable splendour, and the fallen floozie join forces in Rooke’s decentred ventriloquism of eye-catching et cetera.” What a review of Leon Rooke’s Rank Songbirds!

• And finally, if you’re interested in visual art, particularly printmaking and wood engraving, don’t miss this weekend’s open studio event in Clifford. Out of the Dark artist Wesley W. Bates will be throwing open the doors and welcoming interested art fans Saturday and Sunday.

Thanks for joining us for another scintillating edition of the PQ Weekly Roundup. We hope you’ll enjoy an extra hour of sleep this weekend–and perhaps a trip out to Clifford?

Happy Friday,
