In typical Quirk Books fashion, we're wishing you the happiest of holidays the only way we know how – quirk-ily, geek-ily, and bookish-ly.  Enjoy these free, printable holiday gift tags, on us!  We may have also added a reindeer with book-carrying antlers to the numero uno spot of our holiday wish list.  

It is Hanukkah time again, which means that everyone is struggling to find the best gifts possible for those special people. While it is easy to fall back on the ever famous classics like socks and gift cards, why not spend this year’s celebration giving out hours of entertainment at a low, low cost. No doubt everyone reading this article loves to read, so here is a list of eight books by eight of the best Jewish writers to celebrate the holiday.

Here at Quirk we’ve spent the week searching the internet for the best bookish, geeky, and crafty links. Whether you are looking for lit picks from the First Family, the latest info on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, or the definitive guide to British desserts, we’re sure to have something to make your day a little brighter.

These aren't your average puppies and kittens, no, here are six of the best, most magical animal friends a kid could ask for. And I hope you all appreciate the supreme effort I’m making not to populate this list entirely with unicorns.

No matter how much you love your family the Thanksgiving Day table can easily turn into a scene from The Hunger Games when there’s only one Pillsbury roll left and more than one hand grabbing for it. That’s why along with our fictional-characters-we’d-love-to-picnic-with list we also have 7 fictional characters banned from our turkey dinner. No turkey for you!
