69. Key of Valor - Nora Roberts

The end of the Key trilogy. Like I said, predictable, and formulaic, but still enjoyable. Knowing how it will play out, overall, didn't really diminish my enjoyment of the series.

70. Auriel Rising - Elizabeth Redfern

A period book, set in the early 1600's - sort of historical fiction, in that the characters were folks like King James and Prince Henry, Sir Walter Raleigh, etc. But they are backdrops to politics and intrigue, as traitors plot to overthrow King James and install Prince Henry, and also to sever the treaty with Spain. Protestants versus Catholics, traitors versus loyalists, criminals and royalty, with sex, love and intrigue as the constant undercurrents.

I didn't think I enjoyed historical fiction, but I was engrossed in this book and had a hard time putting it down.
