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 Ten Tuesday: Ten Authors I've Read The Most Books From

It's Tuesday which means that it is time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's topic is ten authors I've read the most from. The Top Ten Tuesday feature was created by The Broke and the Bookish and more about it can be found here. Let's get started...

I have read 7 C.S Lewis books and 6 Darren Shan books but they are not some of my favourite books so I didn't include them in my main list but they remain honourable mentions. 

 10.  John Green 

 Paper TownsJohn Green like many people is one of my favourite authors. Although I can see how people see his characters are similar to each other and the similarity in plots I enjoy his books and his writing. I have read 5 books by him and will read anything that he writes. 






9. James Dashner

 The Eye of Minds (The Mortality Doctrine, #1)Although some people hate on the Maze Runner, this is one of my favourite series of all time written by one of my favourite authors. I have read 5 books by him and will happily read more. 






8. Neal Shusterman 

BruiserAgain you find one of my favourite authors. Shusterman is different to most authors on this list in the fact that he is so diverse. He can write fantasy, contemporary and dystopia and I will read anything he writes and let me tell you he writes a lot. I have read 5 books by him. 






7. Holly Black

 The Coldest Girl in ColdtownI have read a lot of Holly Black as I am a massive fan of both her work and Cassandra Clare's books and find them very enjoyable although I don't know if I would call her one of my favourite authors but I know I will still continue reading her work. I have read 6 books by her. 





6. Richelle Mead 

 Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1)Like the other authors on this list, Mead is one of my favourite authors. I adored the Vampire Academy series and I loved the first book in the Bloodlines series. This means I have read 7 of her books and I can't wait to read more. 








5. Maggie Stiefvater 

 Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)Maggie Stiefvater was one of the first authors who got me into YA books coming from the Wolves of Mercy Falls series. She has continued to become one of my favourite authors and I will read anything she brings out YA. I have read 8 of her books as I still need to catch up with the Raven Boys series only reading the first book but as per usual I know I will enjoy the rest of her books. 





4. J. K. Rowling

 Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find ThemJ.K. Rowling is like many is one of my favourite authors after writing the Harry Potter series which is one of my favourite series' of all time. After reading the Harry Potter series and Fantastic Beasts and where to find them I am at 8 books.






3. Julie Kagawa

 Embedded image permalinkThe Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1)Here will have another one of my favourite authors. She is one of my favourite authors as when she was in London, I get hunting for a signed copy she left in foyles, I was successful. I have read most of her books except Rogue her latest book. This is a total of 10 books plus a series of novellas.





2. Cassandra Clare 

 City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)Cassandra Clare is one of my favourite authors and in total I have read a total of 11 books by her. I have read the Mortal Instruments, the Infernal Devices, The Iron Trial and the Shadowhunter's Codex by her. I just love her as an author and the Mortal Instruments will always be one of my favourites.  






1. Louise Rennison 

 Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #1)So Louise Rennison is my most read author after I have read 13 books by her Confessions of Georgia Nicolson books containing 10 books and the prequel series having 3 books. This was a series I loved as a younger teenager and I state this series as getting me into YA. She will also be one of my favourite authors and her books will always be my favourites.

Book Review: S. T. A. G. S. by M. A. Bennett

Title: S. T. A. G. S. Author: M. A. Bennett  Publisher: Hot Key Books Source: Bought Myself Rating: 4/5 stars ( Amazon | Goodreads ) Book Summary: Nine students. Three bloodsports. One deadly weekend. It is the autumn term and Greer MacDonald is struggling to settle into the sixth form at the exclusive St. Aidan the Great boarding school, known to its privileged pupils as S.T.A.G.S. Just when she despairs of making friends Greer receives a mysterious invitation with three words embossed upon on it: huntin' shootin' fishin'. When Greer learns that the invitation is to spend the half term weekend at the country manor of Henry de Warlencourt, the most popular and wealthy boy at S.T.A.G.S., she is as surprised as she is flattered. But when Greer joins the other chosen few at the ancient and sprawling Longcross Hall, she realises that Henry's parents are not at home; the only adults present are a cohort of eerily compliant servants. The student...

Dealing with Embarrassing Moments

Having anxiety doesn't lend itself to embarrassing moments. Instead of saying fuck it and moving on, our mind decides to let the memories stay and linger. Replaying themselves again. And again. And again until we start to go a little crazy. Today has been that day. First there was the answer that I couldn't give in class. Then the fact that I accidentally fell into a couple of people on the tube. At rush hour. There have been some good things. I met Hank Green and didn't make a complete fool of myself and this was because a nice guy from Waterstones gave me the correct raffle ticket. (THANK YOU!) I mean I look terrified in the pictures but still... Anyway back to these embarrassing moments. I know and my head knows that I should forget them. That the moment should become a distant memory that I laugh about but instead I hear the echoes of laughter and shock and embarrassment plaguing my existence. My waking thoughts. I want their to a day. A good day where I can brush t...

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 ...
