MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM WILHELM STAEHLE & QUIRK BOOKS!

 

Don't these cards just scream "Merry Christmas"? (Well, the knight, at least. He was probably screaming something before he got stabbed.)

Feel free to right click and "save as" the cards, for the full size image, and share with your friends.

Classic and Young Adult Sci-Fi Novels To Check Out on National Science Fiction Day

January 2nd is unofficial National Science Fiction Day. Ever hear of a guy named Isaac Asimov? He was only one of the most famous science fiction writers of his time, which is why Sci-Fi Day is celebrated on his birthday! He also had some pretty impressive sideburns. Now, no one actually seems to be certain of the exact date he was born, including Asimov himself, but he chose to celebrate it on January 2nd and someone down the line decided to celebrate science fiction on the same day. 

Questionable origins aside, what is one to do on a National Science Fiction Day? Read, of course! What could be better than dedicating a day to reading all those books you got for Christmas? In honor of Mr. Asimov and sci-fi writers and readers everywhere, here’s a list of my favorite sci-fi novels, as well as some sci-fi classics that I plan to pick up and enjoy on January 2nd.
