Hey there Quirk fans! Welcome to the Quirk DIY Book Club! This month's selection is The Cookiepedia by Stacy Adimando! 

Same as last month, you can snag one of TEN free copies by entering the Rafflecopter below. Winners will receive a copy of the book, and will be encouraged to send in photos of their finished crafts, which we will post here on the Quirk blog at the end of the month. You'll also be invited to pin along with us on our Pinterest page.

Use leftover cupcake liners and gold glitter to create an easy ornament that will add sparkle to your holidays.

María del Mar Sacasa and Tara Striano, the duo behind Quirk’s Winter Cocktails and the wonderful blog Cookin’ & Shootin’, whipped up a really cute promo video for their upcoming book.

Have a look, and make sure you scope out their blog for more fun food adventures.

For the book fiend who devours novel after novel—with little regard to whether it has pictures in it or not—diving into comics might seem daunting. Heck, even dipping a toe into comics might. There are so many out there—not to mention all the countless spinoffs and reboots. Starting on a whole new medium altogether can feel like drowning, and so the book fiend dismisses it with a wave and goes back to novels, where it’s safe and familiar.

Well. There is no surefire guide out there for getting into comics (except one personally tailored to your interests by a close friend or an amazing comic store employee). But I’ve compiled a list that I think comes really, really close. This list is tailored to the interests of the literary nerd—the rad individual who reads voraciously and is ready for the next cool thing, if only they had a diving board. Cannonball!

Happy November, Quirk fans!

In addition to our fabulous Quirk Perks discounts this month (which include Geek Wisdom and The Cookiepedia), we're launching a month of fabulous giveaways!

That's right. An entire month. 

We debated in the Quirk HQ for hours, trying to come up with the dates and the name for this fantastic giveaway. Would we do it in October? Would it be a single day (Quirkoween) or a month long thing (Quirktober)? What about December? Why not 12 Days of Quirkmas? Maybe something on New Year's Eve? Happy Quirk Year? 

And then it happened. Brett Cohen stood up and shouted "QUIRKSGIVING!" The reaction went something like this:

Okay, maybe not exactly like that (there were only five of us in the conference room), but still. #Quirksgiving is a thing, and we want to give you the chance to win some fun prizes through the month of November. Just follow the directions for each day, and be sure to use the hashtag #Quirksgiving when doing so. We'll pick winners every morning. 

Good luck, and have fun!
