Back in the day, when the blogsphere was alive and well, I used to do a thing on my Italian blog, called Fantasy Piano Bar. In those posts I took reader requests: book suggestion, author deep dives, odds and ends.
It was a way of getting something out of 40+ years spent reading genre fiction.
And it was pretty popular – so popular in fact, that my contents were lifted and resold as their own by other bloggers.
But then my blog was blacklisted on Facebook (because it spreads hatred, apparently), and the piano bar was closed.

Well, as of today, I am happy to announce that the Piano Bar is open again, on my Patreon.
I received a request for some reading suggestions in the field of Oriental and specifically Middle-Easten fantasy, and I accepted the request to the best of my knowledge.
The post is open for anyone to read.
Further posts of the Piano Bar will be Patrons-only – anyone supporting me with one buck a month or more will be able to make requests, and read the posts.
Think about it.
(and yes, I should have done it earlier)
