Sunday July 10th is National Piña Colada Day and if you’re anything like us, the mention of a piña colada must always be followed up with “getting caught in the rain.” Ah earworm, there you are. Sorry, we couldn’t help it—nor did we want to. Which is why in honor of Piña Colada Day we’re sipping our delicious drinks…

Here at Quirk Books, we have a lot of feelings about the seventh (and final) season of Pretty Little Liars. Before we send the Liars on their final season, we put together a list of book recommendations for our favorite Rosewood residents.

Aria – Single, Carefree, Mellow by Katherine Heiny

Star Trek has been and will always be a cultural phenomenon. The new set of movies has brought a whole new generation of viewers into the fandom and has sparked the imaginations of those who dream of “the final frontier.” While we at Quirk are incredibly excited about the next film, Star Trek: Beyond, we must still think to the future when all of the stars of the will no longer be able to take time out of their busy schedules for a massive ensemble piece. That leaves us with the question of what takes place next. How about a new younger cast for a Next Generation film.

This summer, movie theatres will be filled with big budget blockbusters and The Legend of Tarzan – based on the novel Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs – is no exception. Samuel L. Jackson plays George Washington Williams, a historic American Civil War soldier and the activist responsible for spurring public outcry against King Leopold II’s Congo Free State. In honor of this movie’s bookish origins, we’re celebrating our absolute favorite literary roles of Samuel L. Jackson. 

There’s nothing more delightful than Summer Fridays. They’re fun, they’re unexpected, and it really feels like you’re getting away with something by not going into the office. But what are you going to do with all that extra free time? At Quirk Books, we believe the best Summer Friday is a bookish Summer Friday. Here are four of our favorite books that can (and should) be read in one gorgeous day.

For instance, when your books takes an unexpected turn.
