about emme:

Geologist by day, bibliophile & crafter by night.  Actually, there are a myriad of things that usually prevent me from reading at night, like watching TV.  I love to read, which is why I started this blog, mostly to help me remember what books I’m reading, have read, and will read and what I think about them.  I also love buying books, especially when I can find them at a bargain. I think most of the fun comes from the hunt of a good book.  You can check out my library finds @ LibraryThing!
