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: Top Ten Auto-Buy Authors

It's Tuesday which means that it is time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's topic is top ten auto-buy authors. 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...

Honourable Mentions:

 -Marissa Meyer- I really love the Lunar Chronicles so will happily buy anything that she writes in the future.
- Veronica Roth- I had problems with Allegiant like so many people but I would like to see what else she comes up with.   
-Gayle Foreman- I love all of her books and will continue to read them as long as she continues to write them.
-Samantha Shannon- I read the Bone Season early this year and I know that she is an author that I will continue to buy and read from. 

 10. Neal Shusterman

 Challenger DeepAlthough I do really like Neal Shusterman, he has a lot of books out... Like so many. If I was to buy all of his books in one go I will literally be so poor and will have no money. I do really like his stories and characters especially the fact that he can write so diversely in genres ranging from contemporary to fantasy although with a large quantities of books I will choose books which are most interesting to me. 




9. Louise Rennison

 Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #1)I completely love her books especially the Angus, Thongs books and the prequel series. She has released 13 books so far and I have read them all and will continue to read any more to come. 








8. Jenny Downham

 UnbecomingJenny Downham is one of those authors that doesn't have a lot of books out but every time see does I guarantee that it is going to be on my shelf. She is an amazing writer and writes so interesting and gripping stories. She is one of those authors I will continue to read for a long time to come. 








7. James Dashner

 The Eye of Minds (The Mortality Doctrine, #1)Although the Maze Runner series is one of my favourite series ever I think post Maze Runner, he is definitely an auto-buy author but I don't know if I have any desire to read his earlier works. I am reading his most recent series I just need to continue on with it. He is kind of an auto-buy author. 








6. Maggie Stiefvater

 The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1)I loved her earlier works including the Wolves of Mercy Falls series and her Faeries series and I quote her as being one of the authors that got me into YA in the first place. She is a definite auto-buy although I need to catch up on the Raven Cycle series which everyone raves about. 









5. Holly Bourne 

 Am I Normal Yet?Holly Bourne is one of those new authors that I discovered this year and loved her writing and her stories. Although she only has three books I love the two that I have read and I know I will buy her books the day that they are out. 









4. Rainbow Rowell

 LandlineI am a fan of Rainbow Rowell especially her YA books but I love her stories and her writing that I will buy all of her books. To me it doesn't matter whether it is YA or Adult, Rainbow Rowell is a definitely auto-buy.









3. Julie Kagawa

 Image result for talon by julie kagawaJulie Kagawa is one of my favourite authors and I will be buying anything that she writes for years to come...











2. Cassandra Clare

 City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6)I love the Shadowhunter world and her writing she is amazing. I don't know what to say except she is a definitely auto-buy!











1. John Green 

 The Fault in Our StarsWhat can I say about this one? Although I love him as an author I am prepared to wait for a new book and when it comes out. I know that when it is announced it will definitely be on preorder.

 See you soon,

Mid Year Freakout Book Tag

So everyone seems to be doing this tag on Youtube this year so therefore I really wanted to do it and I've done it twice before but a long time ago. I am also finally doing this at the right time so this is good for me but I have already read over 100 books this year so there is a lot of choices to pick from!  This tag was created by ReadLikeWildFire (now Chami although the original video is no longer available for both) and  Ely Jayne . Let's get started... 1. Best book you've read this year so far? I actually have quite a few so it was hard to pick just one but one the basis that I want m ore people to read it, Deeplight by Frances Hardinge . This book is so special in the way that it deals with male characters and deafness as well as toxic friendships. I read it super quickly an highly recommend the audiobook and her writing is just amazing.  2. Best sequel you've read this year so far Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo or The Ask and The Answer by Pa...

Three Hallows April Blog Post: Girls With Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young Book Review

Disfigured and Disability: My Story

So I don't really mention it online but I have a disability.  Due to complications at birth, I developed a type of cerebral palsy called left-sided hemiplegia, which is a weakness that affects the left side of my body, especially my left hand. I don't have it severely and my condition is a lot better than some people.  Because of this, I don't really mention that much. For much of my life, I have tried to hide my disability because I always compared myself to others. A lot of the time, I didn't identify with the label. My condition and I have a complicated relationship.  That is until I read Disfigured by Amanda Leduc.  OK. I'm not going to say that this book changed my life and the way that I explored my own disability but it illustrated so much of what I felt in my brain.  I have grown up not really having someone to look to up in terms of my disability. No one I knew had the same condition as me until I was 17 and one of my sister's friend had it. This is str...
