I got an email about a reading by the author of a book called Indecision. I've read about this book, and it looks intriguing, but I can't decide if I'm up for going.

Book!
In March 2017, my first book, "The Perils of 'Privilege'", was published by St. Martin's Press.
For a taste of what it's about, try the "YPIS" tag here.

Can you please comment on the OC.
uhm, how in the world does the often wonderful teen-soap the oc connect to the supposedly wonderful novel indecision?
and as for what would pheobe do in this circumstance? If you ask me, she'd go, baby. she'd go all the way.
It doesn't relate, I'm just under specific orders to blog about the OC, and am being reminded. I'm speechless, though, on the OC front. But it, like "Indecision," seems to involve young people frolicking and getting into trouble.
