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.

• We might consider fake books as décor a thing for the movies, but it’s creeping into everyday life.

• Interesting to see the alternative careers out there for those who have studied Library Science.

• Lots to think about in this piece on what we can learn by reading bad fiction. There’s also a handy checklist of things you might consider eliminating from your own writing.

• We love a good genre-bender! Here are some reading recommendations for those who like books that play with genre.

• And finally, don’t miss Phil Hall’s introduction to The Essential Eugene McNamara over at the Periodicities Journal.

That’s it for this week’s book links round up. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great weekend,
