People say that your happiness is determined by the people with whom you surround yourself, and that is especially true in a snowstorm. While we have yet to see snow around here in the mid-Atlantic, it's always good to be prepared. Here is our list of the best and worst characters to be snowed in with, so you know what to do when you see the first snowflakes. 

Ah, the strike of midnight. Whether you offer us the promise of a new year with a fresh start or were the curfew set by our parents in high school, you always have a way of marking our lives. We are not the only ones under your influence; many characters in pop culture care about your chimes.

While everyone works on keeping their getting-fit, eating-healthy, saving-the-world resolutions (us too) we're working on our TO BE READ list with our homebrewed Quirk Books Reading Challenge. That's right, 12 months and 12 book challenges. We feel all Rory Gilmore book excited!

Here at Quirk we’ve spent the week scouring the internet for the best bookish, geeky, and crafty links. Whether you’re looking for something new to read in 2016, ways to unclutter your digital life, or a video of The Wizard of Oz in alphabetical order we’re sure to have something to make your day a little brighter.

We have less than a month until Regency era zombies invade your local theaters! Mark your calendars for February 5th (preferably with zombie innards)! In the meantime, we want to get celebrations underway by giving away enormous grab bags of movie-inspired merchandise, including Funko Pop Vinyl Dolls, T-Shirts from Hot Topic, and more!

This year, don’t you think your imagination deserves a new, fresh, beautiful place to hold its creations? We’ve rounded up some of our favorite journals for a fresh start. Let’s get those creative juices flowing!
