About

  About Amy Hello, I'm Amy, an aspiring motorsports writer and former blogger.  If you dig deeper enough, you find some very old blog posts, as this started as a book blog, but that's really where I got my start in writing: book reviews, hot book topics and as well as the odd personal essay.  After leaving university, I left the book blog behind, but continued writing and going in the world of social media, writing film reviews and promoting queer cinema, but after a tragic event in my personal life, I quickly discovered Motorsports.  What started as a love for Formula 1, while finally watching the Formula 1 film, Rush, and discovering Formula 1 TikTok, this love soon expanded to everything Formula E, IndyCar, Formula 2, Formula 3, as well as F1 Academy.  I soon found the itch to write come back, with the fast-moving news of motorsport, to the drama, the competition, and the journey of drivers trying to find a race seat. I found that it was the people and storie...

Top 5 Wednesdays: 5 Characters I wish I can drown

It's Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday. This week’s topic is the top 5 characters I wish I could drown. To find more about Top 5 Wednesday’s you can join the GoodReads group and discover the creator of the group Lainey . So let’s get started… Number 5- Tris from Divergent I do like Tris as a character, it’s just that at some points she can be really annoying, so it’s not that I want to drown her just knock some sense into her. This especially comes in Allegiant when she still tries to save Caleb even though he has been plotting against her the entire series. I get that her ties to her family are strong but some people just aren’t worth saving, in fact, I would probably just drown Caleb to protect Tris. Number 4- Victor Frankenstein from Frankenstein I studied Frankenstein for my AS course and I did enjoy the book but Frankenstein is just not a likeable character. To me, you are also meant to like the protagonist but I just don’t. He creates the cre...

The Extraordinary Means Book Tag

So I am currently reading Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider and knew there was a book tag about this on YouTube created by the author herself and thought it would be a good idea to do it. You can view it here . Here are the questions… 1. I would give up the Internet for a month for a signed first edition of this book… The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins seems like an obvious choice for me, I’ve loved this book since I first read it and I think I can live without the Internet, I mean I still have books. 2. I would give up pizza for a year if it meant I could sit next to this author on a long plane ride… This would have to be John Green, I mean I love pizza but it’s John Green! He is one of my favourite author’s and I would love to talk him about his books, Harry Potter and Nerdfighteria as well as life in general. I just hope I don’t have a Van Houten moment.   3. I would sit through a thousand hours of commercials if it...
