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.

• This week, there was a lot of discussion about the decision to change some wording in Roald Dahl’s classic children’s books. Some saw it as “absurd censorship” while others insisted it is “cultural sensitivity”.

• It’s been a while since we talked about Penguin Random House’s attempted merger with Simon & Schuster. This is a great piece that looks back on what we learned about book publishing in the process.

• This week is Freedom to Read week, the perfect time to feature the Toronto Public Library’s sanctuary for banned or challenged books in North America.

• Who’s driving book sales? It might not be who you think.

• Want to infuse your home library with a certain aesthetic? Here are some different looks—and how you can achieve them in your home.

   

After all that nasty weather this week here in Ontario, what could be better than spending a weekend in a cozy chair with a good book? Hope you find some time to bask in that literary pleasure.

Happy Friday,
