In honor of March 4th being National Grammar Day we thought we’d celebrate with a round-up of products that show we’re not the only lovers of a well dotted i, crossed t's, and the use of the Oxford comma.
Chris Rock is hosting a pretty bookish Oscars: "18 of the 57 movies have bookish origins.” This, along with his ability to make us laugh, got us wondering about his literary roles. (Oh, and it also inspired us to tinker with the Oscars’ promo poster. You’re welcome, Oscars.)
As a comedian who has written and starred in his own movies (Top Five, I Think I Love My Wife) we wondered if Chris Rock would even have any literary roles? If so, would they be many, MANY, like Chloë Moretz? Or a handful like Christian Bale? As we continued to speculate the one thing we could agree on was that the majority of his roles would be funny characters, even if the movie wasn’t a comedy.

We believe there are certain things you never age out. Like toys, for example. And thanks to the collectible craze known as Funko dolls, we don't have to! Our favorite of course are the bookish kind, so here's a round-up of our favorites.
Thanks to our childhoods being filled with Clue and Murder, She Wrote if there’s a mystery to be read we’re all gimme, gimme hands. Here's our list of the 2016 mystery/thriller/suspense books that you’ll want on your TBR list.
We at Quirk love a good board game almost as much as we love a good book. (Okay, maybe not quite as much as a good book.) So naturally, why can't we have both? Each month, we're going to reimagine a classic board game with a literary and pop culture twist! This month, inspired by our childhood Paul Bunyan version, we decided we wanted to re-imagine Pick-Up Sticks: but with a Shakespearen twist!
We at Quirk Books love to share! So for Valentine’s Day we’re sharing bookmarks inspired by the best friend charm necklaces of decades past. Just print, cut down the middle, and there’s one for you and one for your chosen recipient. (Or keep both, we won’t tell.)
