Hi! I’m Emma and I’m the face behind Papyrus and Peppermint. I’m very happy that you’ve stumbled across my page of thoughts, opinions and recommendations, and if youre a return visitor or follower of the blog, thanks very much for coming back, it means a lot!

I started this blog in 2016 to share my love of reading, writing and reviewing with the world. I grew up with a Mum who consumes all her daily H20 requirement via Tea alone and in a book lover’s home, reading Black Beauty cover to cover aged 5.

I’ve always loved to write, create and entertain, writing my first play at primary school where I auditioned all the kids in my class for lead roles (critically and quite seriously as playwright and director, I must add). As a teenager I thrived in English and Performing Arts, before deciding I should get a ‘less risky’ career and now I work in a corporate job which supports my book buying habit!

In my spare time, you can find me laughing with my Husband, cuddling my gorgeous Tabby cat Chester, kicking the air’s ass at a body combat class or doing some lovely Vinyasa yoga. You can also find me over on Instagram @papyrusandpeppermint – if youre a user please give me a follow. I also like to make fun reels and you can keep up with my day to day reading there.

If youre interested in working with me, please email me or send me an Instagram DM* 🙂

Lots of Love,

Emma X0
