Mystery Stocking Stuffers - Paperback Books

Holiday shopping is in full swing, so I thought I'd take a moment to help you fill the stocking of one of your favorite mystery loving friends with lovely paperback books (or so you can give Santa hints about your own stocking.) Speaking of stockings, check out the book lovers stocking above. You can find those over on Etsy at MeredithMyersDesigns. 

There is also an adorable Christmas ornament design that would fit very well inside. Great gift for your favorite librarian. 

Now let's move onto the books...
