Pretty straightforward: books and literature of all stripes can be discussed here.

Just followed you with mine. Bookwyrm suits my needs at the moment, which are primarily as an adjunct to my aging memory. My main reading interest at the moment is the novels and short stories which inspired well known operas (many thanks to Project Gutenberg). Knowing the plot ahead of time is a useful accommodation for said dodgy memory. :)
One limit at Bookwyrm which I do find frustrating is that we can't make a post which isn't linked to a book. So for short stories and other things I follow my fedi account on another platform, write the post there and then boost it to get it into my Bookwyrm feed so I at least have a record of it.
Sometimes, rarely, you can find an independent listing for a short story if you search for it, but it is definitely a limitation of the platform in general.
Individual short stories can be added as if they were books but that does skew the books read tally, so I use my work around to get the mention in there.
Oh wow I didn't even think of reviewing/talking about short stories! I might have to start doing so following your method. I followed back!
So glad I mentioned it then :) I couldn't leave Madame Butterfly (the short story) off my list there.
