I've added Denison Avenue
by Christina Wong to my poetry heading. It's not all poetry, but is rather a story. I'd compare it to the work of Elizabeth Acevedo. There is a free flow at times but there are elements of poetry as you go through it. Interesting writing technique. 4.0 stars

The Complete Orsinia: Malafrena / Stories and Songs by Ursula K. Le Guin is a mixture of a novel and a number of short stories. 4.0 stars
Rubymusic: A Popular History of Women’s Music and Culture by Connie Kuhns, a collection of essays and interviews. 4.0 stars
Finished 2 sets of short stories -
- Tales from Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin 4.5 stars

I don't know if I'll manage any plays this time. I find them difficult at the best of times.
