3. From Maryland: Imitation in Death by J.D. Robb
7. Find a Rainbow Day: Vicious Circle by Linda Robertson











1. April: Read a book which title or author’s name starts with “A”.

Angel time was ok, I just finished the 2nd one
[book:Of Love and Evil and it was a lot better than the first. The first one was basically introducing the main character Tobey and putting him on his first mission to go back in history. Once he was on the mission, it was a lot more interesting. The second one was almost entirely about his mission back in time. It's christian fiction, so there's a lot of talk about faith and god and stuff but it was entertaining. It got a little preachy at times too.
