Help! Tv show needed!
Hi! I’m a major tv show buff and I recently watched the part of five (the new and old one). I completely fell in love with Charlie Salinger. I’m looking for any more tv shows with young guys (good looking ones) with whump/emotional trauma and responsibilities (like Charlie). Any suggestions?

I'm reporting from planet Earth, an obvious statement perhaps, but it never hurts to specify.
Things have been a roller coaster in the past few months. Today wasn't particularly tough, but I'll blame any melancholy on the fact that it's Sunday, even if it's about to end.
I embrace people, but I don't feel satisfied. Why? Am I perhaps being too ambitious?

what YA books i think the succession characters would like if they were lonely teens going to the school library
(according to a YA enthusiast)
tom: looking for alaska by john green. i feel like i don't really need to explain this one. he thinks he's miles halter & the whole "anti manic pixie dream girl" message kind of went over his head
roman: forgive me, leonard peacock by matthew quick. i think he'd enjoy leonard's character voice & his teen self would relate to him a lot, especially in a certain part of the book that i'm not going to spoil
shiv: she would've secretly liked twilight by stephenie meyer. i feel like she definitely went through this "not like other girls" sort of phase when she was a teen, which is part of why she'd like twilight & also why she'd never admit it to anyone
kendall: 13 reasons why by jay asher & i'm not even sure what my reasons are for this choice. i just feel it in my gut. the whole time reading it he'd be thinking "wow... girls go through so much... i would have supported her" . sometimes he fantasizes abt killing himself & doing what hannah baker did
greg: i don't even know if this counts as YA but i guess maybe the harry potter series? i don't think he would be a super fan or anything. he would just be like "oh um yeah i read those books... uhh 3 points for gryffindor am i right? haha" in conversations when he doesn't know what else to say
some extra commentary in the tags

tagged by Charlie @charlatanesque to post six favorite books of 2023 tysm!! I love ur choices I’ve wanted to read 99 finds for ages and id never heard of purity until u started posting it im in love w the style now
in no particular orderrrr
1. I don’t even know know if im allowed to post this one bc it’s technically not a book it’s a collection of individual strips but it changed my life more than anything else I read this year I committed to living in their world
2. jd salinger has always been so special to me and it is crazyyy that these stories are abt other members of the Glass family. a perfect day for bananafish is one of his best known short stories and I love that he was this attached to his own characters that he preferred to have them haunt the narrative rather than write about literally anything else
3. this one saved my life last year when I was worried that no 2020s books i had read would be good enough to finish but then i came across this one thank u louise erdrich! full of interesting characters and extremely jolting for me to read about things like the covid pandemic in a novel
4. best out tlhod for me!!!!! I love how she insists over and over that the fucking weird is so beautiful you can’t resist it. slaps bald head
5. i love the name merricat. i wish they had killed everyone.
6. this was so early in the year I barely remember the plot but I know it hit me full force like every steinbeck novel does. you want to shake everyone by the shoulders don’t you know how sad you are?????

BBC Big Read List
Many years ago, I first started tallying the books from the BBC Big Read list, seeing how my reading and interests correllate. I don't take it as the "one truth" on which books are worth reading or "good", I just find it interesting which ones I agree with. Let's go!

Read: 57
Want to read: 60
Some of the books to read I know very little about except the title and that they're classics, some others I know a lot about (and I even have "Men at Arms" on my TBR pile for when the mood strikes me next). I like reading classics once in a while, but especially older ones I can't read too often, I need to be in the right mood for that style of writing.
The last time I updated this was in 2015 and I had read 44 and wanted to read 72 - so 15 books in 9 years xD Like I said, it's not a challenge or a goal to read all of them, just a convenient way of keeping track of which classics I want to read eventually.

Welcome to another space for the wallflowers.
Now then, let me introduce myself: my middle name would be Oliver if changing my name weren't so complicated, so for you all, I'll be Oliver.
I'll soon turn 26 years old, I'm unemployed, and I still live with my parents. I attend therapy and psychiatry sessions, and I've decided to share this because I'd like to meet more people in my situation and have hope that it's possible to build a professional career even with mental disorders.
This will be my place of expiation, somewhat different from my main blog.
Feel free to comment, leave hearts, and share.
Have I decided to create this secondary blog inspired by Alice Oseman's "Radio Silence"? Absolutely.
