"It's like geek heaven, you gotta check it out!" — anonymous guy on his phone at our BEA/Bookcon booth, who basically gave us the best endorsement ever.

Come on out for another amazing round of bookish events. This week offers the opportunity to hear from award-winning authors, as well as future award-winning debut novelists. Emma Straub launches the paperback edition of last summer’s hit The Vacationers, and Judy Blume will give a talk at the 92Y. Sounds like a great week, for sure! Make sure you tweet at us @QuirkBooks to let us know where you went.

Somebody–I think it was Aquaman–once noted that criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot. Which is why so many superheroes prey upon crooks’ apparent fear of the mysterious and supernatural. And let's face it, when shopping for frightening guises, a hero could do worse than flip through Mother Goose and the Brothers Grimm for inspiration, what with all those wolves and bears and diabetes-inducing candy houses. Here are a few crimefighters from The League of Regrettable Superheroes who apparantly drew on fairy tales and other fantastic literature for their personas…to varying degrees of success.

It's BEA & BookCon week, folks! And we couldn't be more honored to share the show floor with you! Come by our booth (#3250) this week, so we can hang out with our totes out!
