Straight from Tumblr come the sad news that The Broken Cage will probably not come out this November.

How are we feeling about this? I’m obviously sad, but I’m glad this story is written by someone who cares enough to get it right. I’ll always prefer a book that was created with love and patience to one that had to be rushed under a deadline.

This a random question that just popped up in my mind. Do you plan how you're going to read a book? For example, I'm going to read X chapters this day then Y chapters the next day and on. I never did this but there are some books where it could've helped me to not procrastinate so much to read. 😔

Hello everyone! I'm new to pagebound, so here I am creating my first post! What better way of doing it by getting to know you!

What matters more to you: beautiful writing, a great plot, or unforgettable characters?

I don't mean anything detailed in the guide, but things that people who don't pick up on social cues or unspoken rules (like myself sometimes) might be missing. I've been here for over a year and there are a few things I've felt unsure about.

One is that I'm noticing people declaring when they yoinked a book from another person. I'm not sure if it's considered rude not to do this (if we're expected to give credit to where we found it), or if I can yoink without saying anything.

The next thing is that I tend to upvote whenever someone responds to me, including if I simply said "congratulations" and they said "you're welcome". This is something I carried over from Reddit, where it seems to be etiquette in many communities to give upvotes like that, but I've been wondering if I'm annoying people, if they think I'm cluttering their notifications with an unnecessary upvote. I'm not sure because other people sometimes upvote me like that, but sometimes they don't. I wonder if this is etiquette that hasn't solidified yet.

Recently I saw some people saying that reviews are not the place to express disagreement, and that it should only happen in forum discussions. I personally haven't commented anything like that on reviews, but that's one that surprised me and made me wonder if that's a generally agreed upon etiquette rule or not. If I remember correctly, the person in question was being rude in terms of their content and tone, but it made me wonder if people consider it rude to bring any discussion to a review, even if it were done as politely as possible.

Has anyone else noticed etiquette that wouldn't be found in the guide? Does anyone have etiquette questions that they're pondering? Are these unspoken rules still in the process of forming?

(Btw please mention other potential unspoken rules that I didn't mention here, if there are any. I'm curious about things that I haven't thought about)

Happy Wednesday, folks! It's time for the three Wednesday "W" questions:

1. What are you currently reading?
2. What have you recently finished reading?
3. What will you read next?

Looking forward to seeing folks' response, and make sure you check out other peoples' answers to see if you can spot any folks who share your taste!
