We’re all home practicing social distancing and self-isolation, so what better time to dig into the movies we completely missed out on last year? We’re so excited to finally see Parasite (we know, we know) which is now on Hulu as of April 8! And because we’re currently craving companion media to go with all the other media we’re consuming, we came up with a list of five novels about class conflict and social inequality to read after – and maybe even in anticipation of – Parasite.
In this time of quarantine and social distancing, it can be easy to lose track of the day of the week – or the last time you called your best friend. Which is why we’re proposing a virtual hangout with purpose. A #Couchella, if you will – but way more literary. Throw a bookish party from the comfort (and safety) of your own home. Because we all know how wonderful it is to make an extrovert’s day.

This past Saturday was School Librarian Appreciation Day, but with most schools closed across the country – and others turning to remote learning – it may have been difficult to appreciate your school librarians from afar. Here at Quirk, we see our librarians as warriors and teachers, purveyors of knowledge and the written word. Which is why we’ve come up with five completely remote ways to say a loud and heartfelt “Thank you!”

It’s the final season of Schitt’s Creek and we’re feeling very peculiar about it. One minute we’re sad to see David and Patrick and everyone else leave us forever, the next we’re telling everyone we know that we’re happy the show is ending on its own terms. What? You haven’t had a thirty-minute conversation with your favorite barista about the many wigs of Moira Rose? And why not? So today, as we both celebrate and hold vigil for our favorite show on television, we’re exploring the five books we’d love to see in Rose Apothecary before the end of the season.
When Pantone announced that the 2020 Color of the Year would be classic blue, a dusky almost-navy filled with anticipation and clear days that slowly turn to night, our first thought was “Hey, that looks familiar.” Because it was the same color as so many of our favorite books. Today, we’re diving into that deep blue – and how the hue impacts our reading experience every single time.

We love high stakes novels full of mystery, suspense, and, inevitably, death. But have you ever noticed that these dark and stormy adventures never include what happens to the bodies? Where are the mourning family members, the funeral processions, the shiva sitting, yes, the funeral directors? Today, we’re examining some of our favorite thrillers – and just how much business their local funeral homes would receive.
