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.

Aargh, I fell asleep and when I woke up my computer had restarted itself....just back on now.

Still haven't seen the baby...

Naming him/her will be harder than naming my Kindle!

I can't see the baby.  Wonder if it's a boy or girl?  Does she wrap him in her wings or something to keep him warm?  I guess I think it's a boy.

I think it was Betsy that said she tucks the baby under her wing.
No idea how or if we'll get to know the sex.

True...lol

If the wheel is constantly turning does that mean I'm not seeing the latest video?

Edit: Cancel that. My timer's staying at 00:00

The circle thing has been moving for the last couple of days but we're still seeing live video, and sometimes my timer moves and sometimes it resets itself.

They just switched and I saw the baby!  It was so much fun just to watch them switch, but then to see the little one; oh my!

I watched her feed him.  Now she has hovered on him and gotten up about three different times to rearranged herself.  She must not like the way he is feeling.  The baby looks like he can't move really but his head bops constantly.  This is so neat. I am going to be glued to this thing now.

Stormy is holding his head up much better today than yesterday.  Yesterday it kept flopping all the way back down.
At least today he can hold it up for a bit longer. 
I don't know why I thought I'd be able to get something done once the baby was born.  Now I'm going to be glued here
until he flies from the nest. 
I wonder how long that takes.

Now I'm wondering if that little chirping is actually from Stormy.

Thanks Deb.  It's quicker than going to my favorites as I am always on KB.  Having a nice cup of tea and watching this and browsing KB.  I don't think she is going to let Stormy out anytime soon with this wind blowing like it is.  Oh my God, did you hear that?  The baby just squawked!!!
