68. *Stealing the Elf-King's Roses by Diane Duane (401)
My first non-Young Wizards book by DD. Based on the title, I expected it to be more fantasy related, but I should have known better. It's actually an SF book. It was...a pretty good book, but it didn't grab me the way the YW books do. I'm trying the "Door Into" series (same author) but having trouble finding the first two books.
69. Quest for a Maid by Frances Mary Hendry (270)
This is an older book - the bad writing in the cover says I got it in 1994 (not that I have all that much better handwriting now, but I wouldn't write my name in a book in pink highlighter these days). It's historical fantasy, about the kings of the British Isles and what might have happened if magic existed. And it's a good story, about a young girl with more compassion and strength than she realizes - she runs around willy-nilly saving lives and befriending outcasts, not even realizing that she's doing unusual things.
70. Sunshine by Robin McKinley (389)
