Lost in My Library

Here's an interesting comparison: if all goes well with the rest of Blogtober, even considering that I didn't have a post yesterday, I will easily have posted more times this month than the rest of the year combined. I knew I was bad at consistently posting, and that I hadn't blogged a lot this year, but I honestly didn't think that it was that much. So, therefore, a question: why?

I've been a little behind on wr iting posts in advance, so it seem ed like I was running into th is question more and more often. And after a while of thinking about that, I had m y little breakthrough : I'm thinking a...
