Here at Quirk we’ve spent the past week scouring the internet for the best bookish, geeky, and crafty links. Whether you are looking for lessons on how to draw Darth Vader or a history of book illustrations, we’re sure to have something to make your day a little brighter.

Twister: the game for the whole family that has been awkwardly twisting bodies, spraining ankles, and bumping heads since 1966. Which means, if we did our math correctly, it’ll be celebrating 50th anniversary this year. In honor of this huge birthday, we’re celebrating by giving it not one, but TWO book-inspired editions. So put on your favorite socks, stretch those muscles, and spin. 

With the popularity of our leggings post and our need for bookish socks, we realized we had to do a bookish socks round-up. We have a need for socks!

He gets us. And these socks get us!

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.

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!

It’s the start of a brand new year, and for most of us, that means it’s time to start making some changes. While the most common resolutions might be to lose weight or save money, why not set some literature-inspired goals for yourself for 2016? Read more, smile more, be more confident or find a little extra kindness in your year. It may not help you fit into those skinny jeans, but it could make you a lot happier.

Here to help are some of the best quotes from fictional characters – even though they live only in our imaginations, that’s no reason not to turn to them for advice when it comes to keeping your resolutions.
