#65. A Short History of Bali: Indonesia's Hindu Realm by Robert Pringle. 3. There are surprisingly few histories of Bali available. This one is not always easy to follow (and we learn more about some white artist's dinner guests than we do about most of the significant kings) and contains much foreshadowing that expects the reader to know too much. But I get the impression there are relatively few native primary sources to work from. Better than nothing.
#66. The Lodestar of Ys by Amy Rae Durreson. 4. Very elaborate fantasy world building that's mostly not necessary for this adorably sweet m/m forced marriage romance. (I kinda love the 'we have to get married for REASONS, fall in love later' trope.)
#67. Star Wars: Thrawn: Treason by Timothy Zahn. 4.5. Crammed into a week and a half unaccounted for by Rebels, manages far more entertaining character development than the previous book. Love the adventures of Eli and Krennic's flunky.
#68. Red Hook Road by Ayelet Waldman. 5. Gorgeous and haunting portrait of two families brought together by tragedy, over successive summers in Maine.
#69. Emyr's Smile by Amy Rae Durreson. 3.5. Slight but sweet romance prequel to Lodestar of Ys. Vaguely annoying lead, but cute enough.
