StoryDragon quoted Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell
I tighten my arm around him. I get my wing around him, too. I like having four arms to hold him.

She gave him a haughty look. “I'm sorry, have we met? I'm exactly foolish enough to try to reverse engineer stolen magic and put it to a purpose for which it was never intended. [...]”

I blinked. “She was flagrantly a monster.” “Aren't we all, Mr. Wyndham? Aren't we all?”
— The Affair of the Mysterious Letter by Alexis Hall (Page 249)
I should also mention at this juncture that the word “you” was preceded not by the phrase “I have no interest in cooperating with” but by a single word whose connotations we have already discussed at length.

StoryDragon reviewed The Old Goat and the Alien by Veo Corva
Once again a great book
5 stars
Once again, Veo Corva has written a fabulous story. It is truly a cozy tale. One of the things I love about The Old Goat and the Alien is that it feels like entering a world very similar in vibes and kinds of people to the Fediverse. There is autism, there is ME, and there is a lot of queerness.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes cozy books, and I would even recommend it to anyone else who enjoys reading.

Avari keeps to themself. They're a goat-shape cosmoran, a member of the Cleaners' Union, and a bit of a grump. …

[Monopoly] was just so unfair. And so dreadfully, miserably long...

Hadn't considered that, but it is true indeed...
StoryDragon quoted The Old Goat and the Alien by Veo Corva
Content warning The Old Goat and the Alien. Slight spoiler, chapter eleven.
A large aardvark-shape came in, soft nose quivering, his black fur shining with a blue-green iridescence. He wore a blue shawl around his shoulders, spectacles on his nose, and carried a large case under one arm, gripped with long, flexible claws. 'I'm here about a sick human? Jenna, wasn't it? Oh.' He sniffed toward me politely, as if only just remembering. 'I'm Vya.'
I sniffed back, and hated how much I instantly liked him.

’Have you ever played Monopoly?‘ ’No?‘ ’It's this ancient human game where everyone is cruel to each other for material gain and then they all get angry at each other. I can't work out wether it's satirical or not.‘

StoryDragon quoted The Old Goat and the Alien by Veo Corva
I looked at Jenna. Her chin was down, her mouth trembling. She was a little hard to read, without mobile ears or a tail or even any feathers, but I didn't think she was comfortable. I decided to change the subject. That usually helped me when I got caught out like that.

'You're not going to have another...episode?'
— The Old Goat and the Alien by Veo Corva (Page 6)
This feels like the wrong question to ask... I do not like this behaviour. Hopefully it is just ignorance.

'Have fun.' 'I will,' said Storm. They winked at me. 'You should try it sometime!'
