What do You think about Moving Target (2002)?
This book is a half Da Vinci Code and half 007, but lives up to neither. I love the idea of Rarities Unlimited and want to know where to send my resume! Dana and Neal are witty beacons in a sea of otherwise mediocre characters. Unfortunately they are not the main characters. I tried but just couldn't fall in love with Eric and Serena. I'm still not convinced that they loved each other for that matter. The first time they slept together I found myself rewinding my iPod at the next stop light, trying to figure out how it happened. This book only rates a 2 out of 5 on the romance scale. My third star is for the Rarities Unlimited premise and the education on illuminated manuscripts and weaving. I'm tempted to surf Etsy for reproduction medieval manuscripts and finish knitting that afghan I started years ago! I will be reading (or listening) to the next book in this series. Conclusion: Worth reading but don't have high expectations.

This was a book that I picked up and thought that it would be interesting. I did not know the author. I am not sure why I picked it, but sure am glad that I did. A grandmother dies and her grand-daughter is left pages of manuscript that is centuries old. Not sure if they are worth anything, she starts researching them. She would have never even thought of where her journey would take her. Frequently I read books about a subject matter that I am not particularly interented in, but then I get caught up in the story and find that I am learning a lot. This happened in the story of the manuscript. A bit of a love story. A few good guys and tons of bad guys (isn't there always). Kept me on the edge of my seat. Was a great read. Sure am glad that I picked up this book.

Ok. This book was pretty good. I actually listened to the audiobook, but it was read by someone other than the person listed on Goodreads; so, I switched to this version instead.Wow! What a world. What characters. I truly did like the bit of the paranormal-past lives blending into the present and a beautifully described cloth that made you want to reach into the book to see if it was smooth or rough to the touch, and, of course.Gimme more. Now!Can't wait for the next installment. Also audio on loan from my local (www.lapl.org) library.
