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.

Thank You!   I just pre-ordered the "Cook's Illustrated -How to Cook Lib." as it's not yet available. 

I just realized that this post may not be in the right forum.   My guess is that someone will move it, or combine it with another thread  Roll Eyes

Edit: 2/11: Looks like it was merged into the proper thread...

Well, it's always tempting to get something free, but then I might be tempted to actually cook....

This might be a good time to use that baggie over the kindle trick. I am a very messy cook.

I will share my one favorite thin that I do when I cook.  I line everything with foil first.  If I fry an egg, I line the skillet.  If I bake some fish sticks, I line the pan.


I hate cleaning pots  ,pans and skillets and this helps me out a lot.

Now I'll go check out the freebies.

I tried to hard boil some eggs once, forgot about them and spent the next two days cleaning them off the walls and the ceiling. Those stupid things went off like bombs!

LOL. You sound like me!  I always forget I'm cooking something.

A free cookbook sounds nice but I'd have to substitute most of the recipes due to allergies and then even with a cookbook I always forget some important ingredient. Even if they are all lined up Sad  for instance made manacoti for a boyfriend (umpteen years ago) forgot the cheese!!!

They told me that would happen if I put them in the microwave. The Missourian ancestry kicked in. They were right but it was fun.

LMAO. I'm sure my mom would have preferred if her eggs blew up in the micro instead of on the stove. I asked her if she found her eggs and she simply said, "Where did I not find the eggs?" Tongue

Manybooks.net is my favorite site for free books. Don't forget not all the books are old and out of copyright...the Creative Commons books are modern books and free also. I have read quite a few of the Creative Commons books and have found most of them to be very interesting and it is nice to read new authors. Grin

No problem.  It doesn't work well with Manybooks.  It's mainly for Amazon.

I have no interest in this book, either.  But I did want to check and see if it was a Kindle version (since Oprah was the one that hyped the Kindle out of stock last October).  And, guess what ... it's PDF!  Huh  Go figure.

A book, I think, is very like a little golden door.
That takes me into places where I've never been before.
It leads me into fairyland or countries strange and far.

I really appreciate all of you that share their finds.  When I get home tonight I'll be downloading Eric's book, it sounds wonderful!!  In the meantime I added a bunch of Amazon freebies.

Thanks again!    Grin
