Girl squads are all the rage these days and here at Quirk we couldn’t be happier. There’s nothing more fulfilling than the intense bond of female friendship. We’ve rounded up a few of the best groups in contemporary literature for all your patriarchy dismantling needs.

In our anticipation of Archer Season 7, we imagined all the awesomeness that their book club would be—and by imagined we mean in our minds this is real:

Archer, finally sick of yelling “read a book” at everyone, made his coworkers get library cards. Given how annoying Archer is when he wants you to do something—plus libraries are awesome—everyone obliged. Except Mallory, she stayed home to finally read the books on her shelf, drink in hand, while ignoring Archer’s calls.

A new week calls for a fresh batch of the best bookish, geeky, and crafty links that the internet has to offer. This week you can take some inspiration from J.K. Rowling’s rejection letters, get ready to party with Beverly Cleary, or keep the post-holiday sugar high going by making your own Darth Vader Easter bunny.

We already know Archer is a reader. He’s even gone so far as to determine himself to be a “Kristy, with maybe like a dash of a Claudia” from The Baby-Sitters Club books. So we’re preparing for the March 31^st Season 7 premiere of this hilarious and smart show with a mash-up of Archer + famous literary quotes.

Here at Quirk, we recently provided you with our favorite team of Ultimate Female Super Heroes in comic books. However, while it’s true that this team kicks absolute and total ass, heroes are nothing without their other half— the villains. So, next up is a look at the greatest female villains in comic books, and we’ve put together a squad that will rival that of our ultimate super women.

Like our Ultimate Female Super Heroes, each and every female villain chosen came from a different comic book publisher. If any of you thought that our hero team was full of some bad-ass ladies, this next group could bring the world to its knees.
