19) The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory, finished on 8/8...disappointing, lacks details and descriptions, too much of Margaret Beaufort's stream of consciousness

22) A Murderous Procession by Ariana Franklin, finished on 9/6/10; not sure that I liked the few things that were left hanging at the end, but I do love the character of Adelia.
