"There is no friend as loyal as a book"

Ernest Hemingway absolutely hit the nail on the head with that quote. I'm Emma, and I think books are wonderful. 

I find it truly remarkable how a mere twenty six letters of the alphabet can be infinitely manipulated to create stories that have to power to touch our hearts, change our lives, and stay with us forever. I know it's a cliche, but I honestly believe there is no better way to spend a day than snuggled in front of a roaring fire with a well-thumbed book and a steaming mug of hot chocolate.

I've been an avid reader all my life and I've read everything from 'The Hungry Caterpillar'  to 'The Canterbury Tales'. So, as I enter my final year as an undergraduate linguistics student at the University of Leeds, I figured it was about time to take the plunge and turn my passion into something productive. So here we go!

'Just One More Chapter' is my space to document and share my thoughts, feelings and reviews of the books I read. 

I really don't know if there is an accepted way to do this properly, but I figured I'll just make it up as I go and hope for the best.
