KB Book of the Day
The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

I got pics, and they are uploading! But I am slow today since I hava cold. I will get them up as soon as I can! As of right now everything is claimed except the jade necklace with matching earrings, and the dark green bangle. The bangle is very small and measures only 2 1/8" on the inner diameter. I am going to dig in my collection right now to see what kind of surprise I can offer! Be back when the pictures load!
Thanks,
Mary Ann

OK so I came up with three surprises!


Item #1 will be $45, it consists of jade, silver, agate, and pearls. There are necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and 1 non-jewelery item! I will NOT be posting pictures of the contents, but I assure you they are lovely and well worth it! Some of the pieces come out of my own boxes. There are a total of 8 items in this lot!

Item #2 is a jade bangle from my own collection. It is as close to a medium as I have at just over 2 1/2" on the inner diameter. It is three colors on one bangle! It has yellow, green, and white jade! I have enjoyed wearing it several times myself, but since I have another similar one, I will let this one go! I paid $65 for it, but since I have already enjoyed it, I will let it go for $45 including shipping.  In the states these go for over $300!

Item #3 will be my bargin bit...$7 including shipping and you will get two jade pendants on silk rope necklaces! One is a small green heart, and the second is a jade disk.

I am so glad happy Buddha has an intended home, or....a bidding war for him could break out!     Cheesy

I hope you feel better soon, Mary Ann.

I agree about the teapot.  If that was posted in the tea thread, our fellow tea lovers would go crazy.

I have been introduced to so many new things.
I tell myself NOT to look at new posts in the VB thread, or the tea thread, but alas, I am powerless.  Grin

Just got my tea stained jade bracelets and absolutely love them...especially the round ones! What a bargain (and the little cases were a wonderful surprise)! Thank you so much MaryAnn!

This thread has been so bad for controlling my impulse shopping (so I also need need to thank everyone who grabbed the things I was considering this time  Wink)

I hope Mary Ann is ok.  That's a long time to be sick. I'm getting worried about her.

I am back! I got better, then I relapsed, but now I am fine. I stayed in bed all weekend and when I wasn't sleeping I got caught up on my reading and watched House which my loving hubby bought all 5 seasons of for me. For being sick it was actully kind of a nice break....I may have hammed it up a little so I could stay in bed a little longer Roll Eyes  Wink  Cheesy
I went through and replied to my PM's  if I missed you please let me know!

Glad to hear you're better Mary Ann... although I don'tknow if House would be a good cure when you're feeling ill.  If it were me I would end up thinking I had some weird, incurable (except if Dr. House were available to save me) disease.   Wink

Hi Folks!
How's everyone doing? Miss me? Well, the word from the PO is that there was a shipment of mail that got held up and is being returned. From what I understand this can happen if there are drugs or some kind contraband found. They return all the mail and have it verified and then they resend it. So anyone who hasn't gotten their stuff yet, please be a little patient while I get it all sorted out. As soon as I know which items haven't gone out I will let everyone know. I think it was all the stuff I sent out last week, and as soon as it gets back here I will make sure it gets on it's way out again!

So, I will be headed back to the auction sometime in the next couple weeks. I do have some Jade items if anyone is interested, I will post some pictures this afternoon.

If you see any long strands of chocolate or pink pearls, I would love to buy them. Matching earrings are not necessary. 
Thanks, glad you are feeling better!
