I pretty much read it in two days which is what happens when I usually LOVE a book so maybe that's just another aspect of the weirdness that is "The Night Ocean."Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496803823870196862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-33831679329638007802017-03-10T12:28:45.558-05:002017-03-10T12:28:45.558-05:00Unfortunately I don't have the best track reco...Unfortunately I don't have the best track record with my First to Read picks.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496803823870196862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-17652493440482996992017-03-10T12:28:26.704-05:002017-03-10T12:28:26.704-05:00Yea I pretty much have no clue what genre this boo...Yea I pretty much have no clue what genre this book falls in.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496803823870196862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-27984359264359091932017-03-10T10:59:43.273-05:002017-03-10T10:59:43.273-05:00ugh sorry to hear you were confused and unsatisfie...ugh sorry to hear you were confused and unsatisfied.

Seems despite the convolution, the minutiae of Lovecraft's love life, and the unsatisfying mystery, there are a few scattered highlights, so I'm just going to try and keep those in mind when I dive in and hope for the best!<br /><br />~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-3701472148911406472017-03-09T21:01:44.998-05:002017-03-09T21:01:44.998-05:00I don't know a whole lot about Lovecraft.
