Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!

Since we really can't giveaway margaritas here on the Quirk blog (although here is an awesome margarita cheesecake recipe for ya'll), we decided to do the next best thing. Run with a pun. Because that's what we do here at Quirk.

We're celebrating Cinco de Meow, and dishing out a bundle of Quirk cat books on this special day. Go ahead and enter the Rafflecopter below for a chance to win How to Make Your Cat an Internet Celebrity, Crafting with Cat Hair, 100 Cats Who Saved Civilization, and The Meowmorphosis. 

Good luck!

Last week, Nicole De Jackmo and I packed our bags (and a bunch of books) and zipped off to C2E2, to talk to convention goers about Quirk. We had an awesome time meeting fans, introducing people to our authors, and of course, taking in the amazing cosplay at the con. 

From Ian Doescher's awesome book signing to eager Ben H. Winters fans clamouring for World of Trouble ARCs, it was a wonderful experience. Above, you'll find a short video of some of our highlights, and below, a number of photos from the convention floor.

Thanks for having us Chicago! We'll see you next year.

Wow. It seems like just yesterday the entire Quirk Books office was freaking out over Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs being selected as a World Book Night title. We were absolutely thrilled and honored. 

And now, tonight's the night!

Join us and all the other publishers and authors involved in World Book Night! Tweet along and follow the hashtag #WBN2014 to interact with people participating, and celebrate the love of reading. You can also follow World Book Night and Ransom Riggs on Twitter. 

And guess what? We've decided to throw a fun giveaway to celebrate the special day. Check out the Rafflecopter below, and enter for a chance to win one of two bundles of Ransom Riggs books, including Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Hollow City, and his first book with us, The Sherlock Holmes Handbook. Each will have a signed bookplate inside. We'll also include some posters of Miss Peregrine and Hollow City. 

Good luck!
