The Weekend Aesthetic is a new feature where I post book aesthetics every weekend. They might be of a book I’m currently reading or recently read or read a long time ago or one I consider to be a favorite of mine—there’s no rhyme or reason to it! For now I just want to keep it simple and feature all different kinds of books (but there might be themes in the future).
This Weekend Aesthetic is a little different from my previous ones as I’m featuring an aesthetic of a graphic novel! For the past couple weeks I have been rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender with my brother. As we neared the end of the show, I began reading all of the graphic novels that take place after the show—The Promise, The Search, The Rift, Smoke and Shadow, and North and South. These are must reads if your are a fan of the show! While I enjoyed them all, I think The Search is my favorite volume as it answers one of the biggest mysteries the show ends with—where is Zuko’s mother? I loved how Ursa’s past was interwoven throughout the volume and that we visit her hometown!
