First thing that came to mind with this letter, originally was “C is for Cookie” and a bratty memory of my youth. Dare I share it, maybe? One of the easiest songs to sing at a young age and a great way to annoy one’s way for a cookie. Yes, I was that kind of child who could kill my parents’ patience, when they baked cookies. I’d sing that song over and over and over again until I got one or they’d send me to the corner bakery with allowance money. The record ‘short count’ was six times. The longest, or the day my mother had extreme patience: twenty.
Someone said there’s such a thing as ‘sweet revenge.’ My parents couldn’t possibly find a way to ‘pay me back for the brattiness,’ could they?

Then I thought I better stay with the routine – books. Today’s theme: Crime. Well, Castle:

Reading the books is like watching a bonus episode during summertime – a treat to see the characters maintain their form from screen to page. I have yet to decide if I’ll finish the tie-ins for “Murder, She Wrote.”

How about you? What’s your favorite criminal read?
