Crime Writers Caught Recommending Crime - Day 25

Today I'm going to wrap up the photos for Crime Writers Caught Reading Crime - For the Holidays. I have two very special shots to share with you and then tomorrow we'll have a final wrap-up for the whole project.

First we'll start off with one of crime fiction's biggest fans and one of my best friends. Judy Bobalik is a former bookstore owner and a crime fiction aficionado. So her recommendation for CHRISTMAS AT THE MYSTERIOUS BOOKSHOP, edited by Otto Penzler, is not only fitting, it's spot on. Judy says,

"Perfect reading for the busy holiday season. You can savor one of the 17 stories between shopping, decorating and attending holiday parties."

And my friend Ginny Tata-Phillips, who writes the haiku books I've talked about here and also co-wrote DUFFY TO THE RESCUE with Tom Schreck sent me this picture. This picture represents how she met Tom, but also the generous spirit that they both exude in spades!

Ginny's husband, Rick, and a couple of his cohorts, who she dubbed "The 3 Stooges" reading the equally funny Duffy Dombroski series by Tom Schreck. Tom's Duffy Dombroski books went overseas to the Colonel while he was serving in Afghanistan.


I can't possibly think of a better way to end this series. Thank you, Ginny, for sharing this!

For those who are interested, you can find both Judy and Ginny on Facebook!

Do something nice for someone today and keep a smile in your heart! Happy Reading!
