This is a small moment of getting something off my chest.

My current reading list includes

๐ŸŒ for
๐ŸŒ a book on
๐ŸŒ a based in called Anatomy in Love which I found at the exhibit at the Edinburgh Museum (that was a bloody spectacular exhibition, just perfect).
๐ŸŒ About by David Rooney
๐ŸŒ by Jules Verne
๐ŸŒ A of journal entries of people who visited
๐ŸŒ Holly Blacks Cruel Prince
๐ŸŒ The Sinner and The Jackal by JR Ward, stuff that has really great characters.

Don't ask people what genres they're into, it's too narrow. I've also found it can also be a way to judge. I love fantasy but I like Throne of Glass, The Inheritance Cycle, The Hobbit and other (what some consider) "lighter" works. It annoys me greatly to hear I'm not a real fantasy or sci fi lover because it's not Raymond E Feist or Game of Thrones (both brilliant just not something I would pick up to relax with).

If you want to really get to know someone's taste. Ask them the favourites they've read lately. What's on their to read list, what they have read in the last year, a book that surprised them or got them interested in something new. Find out what they are actually reading and keep the judgement to yourself. Be kind.

[Entry A5 : Hieropolis]
The last thing the Banned Ones will see from the town will be the Old Gates. They are all what remains from the former city, before the coming of the Guiding Orbs, and it symbolizes now the border between the town and the desert of the moors.

[Entry A4 : Hieropolis]
The Banned Ones are to go as soon as one of the three moons set. They are ignored as they pass the gates towards the desertic moors, never to return.
It is not unheard of entire families to go together and depart from the town.

[Entry A3 : Hieropolis]
Every big moon revolution, the inhabitants of Hieropolis are ยซ invited ยป to gather in the temple of the orbs. The Guiding Orbs descend on them and decide regularly to ban the most dissentious members of the community from the city.
To this day, the fate of people who refused to obey the orders of the orbs is unknown.

[Entry A2 : Hieropolis]
The Central Canals open towards the Inland Sea, dug by man through the centuries. It is nearly devoid of fish, but is rich in diverse algae, which constitutes the main produce at the market.

[Entry A1 ยท Hieropolis]
At the end of the workday, people come from all over town to see the lights glowing on the Central Canals. On the banks, streets vendors sell all kinds of creamy goods, perfumed with violet, matรฉ, carob, or even osmanthus.
