Me to literally every friends I have (my non existent friends I mean)

Mohamed Aziz, a 72-year-old bookseller, living in Rabat, Morocco, spends 6 to 8 hours a day reading books. Having read over 5000 books in French, Arabic, and English, he remains the oldest bookseller in Rabat, spending more than 43 years in the same location. When asked about leaving his books unattended outside, where they could potentially be stolen, he responded that those who can't read don't steal books, and those who can, aren't thieves.

🎃 Some of the books I read in October! 🎃

[lafamilledelioncourt]

I need more of Armand flexing his power.

I need angry feral foaming at the mouth Armand.

He is a 500+-year-old demonic creature with the face of a fucking angel.

If he doesn't start unleashing his inner evil Stitch, I will lose it.

This fucking man has had me down bad crying at the gym since I first learned of him.

“You've got a wizard out in the wop-wops who's now got blanket bans from nearly every video upload site and a whole bunch of people have entered the country because of his YouTube channel, the government isn't all, Love that small-business entrepreneur spirit. The government says, This is a cult.” i don’t know one thing about the dream sequences Nona has and what they are but damn are they funny

Books to read if you liked avatar the last Airbender

If you enjoyed elemental elements of avatar and how it was all about balance and strong independent female main characters with azulas intelligence might I suggest

1. The poppy wars trilogy written by R.F kuang (check trigger warnings for this series as it's an incredibly heavy book and not recommended for children)

If you enjoyed uncle irohs love of tea and wisdom and just genuinely enjoy stories revolving around healers and a unique magic system as well fighting a corrupt spirits might I suggest

2. A magic steeped in poison duology by Judy I Lin

If you enjoyed the more combative elements of avatar where it included the elements and bending with them and the martial arts portion and want a story more akin to zuko with his twin blades and his alter ego the blue spirit or the scenes with ba sing se where the earth king has no idea about the 100 year war and when he finds out his whole world is turned upside down might I suggest

3. The sword of kaigan by M.L Wang

Only in this one it doesn't center on adults but children of prominent powerful families..

..

Now if you simply want more stories within the world of avatar I suggest

4. The rise of kyoshi by F.C Yee

5. The shadow of kyoshi by F.C Yee

6. The dawn of yangchen by F.C Yee

7. The legacy of Yangchen by F.C Yee
