No doubt everyone in the United States is familiar with the Salem Witch Trials. The story has been the inspiration of many a tale, including the newly released horror film, The Witch. And to make the story even stranger, 1692 was a leap year and arrest warrants were issued for Tituba, Sarah Osbourne, and Sarah Good on Feb 29^th. With all this mind, we at Quirk wanted to take a look at the many witches that have cast a spell on our pop culture, and how they would fare in a good old-fashioned cage match.  

Squad Goals seem to be taking over the Internet, thanks to Taylor Swift. While the world may aspire to be best friends with a model, our aspirations don’t run that tall. We turn to books for our squad goals; we just tend to prefer page-turners over paparazzi.

Thanks to our childhoods being filled with Clue and Murder, She Wrote if there’s a mystery to be read we’re all gimme, gimme hands. Here's our list of the 2016 mystery/thriller/suspense books that you’ll want on your TBR list.

If you are like us, this is the time of year where we pull out our Jimmy Buffet albums and dream of boat drinks by the beach. But remember: the beach isn’t all fun and games. The following book characters would certainly envy the snow.

Here at Quirk we’ve spent the week searching the internet for the best bookish, geeky, and crafty links for you to enjoy. Whether you are looking for a new DIY project or some inspirational poetry, we’re sure to have something to make your day amazing.

We at Quirk love a good board game almost as much as we love a good book. (Okay, maybe not quite as much as a good book.) So naturally, why can't we have both? Each month, we're going to reimagine a classic board game with a literary and pop culture twist! This month, inspired by our childhood Paul Bunyan version, we decided we wanted to re-imagine Pick-Up Sticks: but with a Shakespearen twist!
