About me

Welcome to my wonderful little nook on the internet. My name is Emma and I love everything books and writing. I might also be a little bit of a book-buying-addict, but aren't we all? For more information, check out the About tab.

I hope you enjoy the blog - I would love to hear your feedback on whatever. Have fun!
