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.

• “Story collections are the country cousins of the American publishing landscape, tolerated with benevolent condescension while their authors are urged to produce that more glamorous product: novels.” But this piece explores why story collections do (and should!) have a place on our shelves.

• Getting one’s book published is a massive undertaking and a career milestone. So why might finally seeing those bookish dreams become a reality be a challenging time? An important read for aspiring authors.

• This article offers a good reminder that a sense of community is one major ingredient required to keep independent bookstores thriving.

• Authors are always told—don’t read your own reviews! Well, of course you will. Here’s how to do it without ruining your life.

• And finally, it’s still Poetry Month! That means poetry eBooks in our eStore are 50% off with coupon code POETRY4ALL at checkout. Browse our poetry eBooks today!

Thank you all for taking a peek at our best book and reading links of the week this fine Friday. Hope you’re enjoying sunny skies and fine books wherever you are.

Cheers,
