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...

Cramathon TBR

Although I have already done a TBR (To Be Read) for this month, there is a readathon going on which I am going to participate in. This readathon is the cramathon which is going to be taking place between July 10th at 12 AM midnight (your time zone) - July 13th at 11:59 PM (your timezone) and is hosted by whittynovels. The cramathon is designed to you catch up on your Goodreads goal by reading the smallest books on your shelf, although I am already 5 books ahead of my goal I thought it would still be fun to participate. There are also challenges to the readathon and I thought these are quite fun. So let’s get started…

A Bear Called Paddington (Paddington, #1)

Both are short books and I should be able to read them quickly. I want to read Paddington as the film came out last year and it will be nice to read the book before the film and Harry Potter is for another year-long challenge as I have to read a book published in 1997, the year I was born so it will be nice to reread it.


The Death HouseThis is a small hardback that shouldn't take me too long to read, I talked about it in my July TBR if you want to find more information about it. 









3. Read 2 books in 24 hours

This depends on if I can read two books in one day but I don’t have two books that I plan to read for this challenge.

 4. Read a graphic novel: Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

NimonaI plan to read Nimona as it is a graphic novel and it looks like a really fast read. Again I talked about it in my July TBR.










5. Read a book written in verse: On the Beach at Night Alone by Walt Whitman


I don’t have a book written in verse but I do have poetry so I am counting it as poetry is written in verse. 










The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass, #0.1-0.5)This is quite a long book and there are 4 novellas in it so if I just read one I will have completed this challenge.










7. Read 5 books total

If I read all the books I plan to read there will be 5 books in total.

Will you be taking part in the Cramathon, if so what will you be reading? Leave the comments below.

See you soon,

Amy

Book Review: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares by Krystal Sutherland

* I have received this book for review from Readers First but this in no way affects my review * Title: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares Author: Krystal Sutherland Source: From Readers First Publisher: Hot Key Books Rating: 5/5 stars ( Goodreads | Amazon ) Book Summary from Goodreads: Ever since Esther Solar's grandfather was cursed by Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime. Esther's father is agoraphobic and hasn't left the basement in six years, her twin brother can t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck. The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.  Esther doesn't know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces, and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen oth...

Relighting My Fire (Part 1/3)

*This was written in October and is a series of three blog posts that I am publishing together. The thoughts in these blog posts may not affect how I am feeling now and it is safe to say that I do feel mentally better than I once did.* To be honest, this is the first time I've truly written something in months. It sucks. Like really  sucks but I don't think that I can do it if I don't really love it. So why now? Well, somethings changed. I have that spark again. My fire has been relit. This feels good again. Writing feels good again. I think another reason was that I finally have the motivation to do it again. Not for anyone else  but me. Because that is who I should write for. Me. Who you might be asking why I have been gone? Why have I not written anything in months? Well, that's a hard question and all I can say is that it is complicated. I wasn't OK and I for the  most part I am and when you feel like that writing something even a simple text ...
