    You were allowed to buy books and went wild. I greatly appreciate this.
    Also if you like school setting books, one of my favourite series is the Maedoran Chronicles, by Lynette Noni. You have portals, magic that isn't magic, badass friend groups, romances that are built on friendship first, dragons, some time travel. All mostly set in a magic (that isn't magic) school. It is a complete series and it is great.

    Also for the buying of so many books at a time, if that would bother you, I feel like you could easily couple the amount of books you buy to how many you read for reaching the Avatar State.

If you want a really amazing adult fantasy, check out Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse - best book I've read in years!. Nevermoor is the BEST middle-grade book!!! You might also check out The Forbidden Library by Django Wexler (his new adult fantasy series Ashes of the Sun is also amazing).
