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 Wednesday: Top Authors You Discovered This Year

Top 5 WednesdayIt’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five authors I have discovered this year. 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: Jenn Bennett and Nicola Yoon

 Everything, EverythingNight OwlsI had to let these two authors share the fifth spot because this list would not be complete without them. I really enjoyed both their books this year and they were definitely authors that I wouldn't have found otherwise. Night Owls and Everything, Everything will definitely be on my favourite's list this year. 



Number 4: Jandy Nelson 

 I'll Give You the SunAlthough I didn't discover Jandy Nelson as an author this year, I did discover her books this year and I read both The Sky Is Everywhere and I'll Give You The Sun this year and they were wonderful books. I am so happy I read her books this year!







Number 3: Sarah Crossan 

 OneLike Jandy Nelson, I had known about Sarah Crossan's books before this year but this was the year that I finally read her book and I really loved it. One was one of my anticipated books of the year and it lived up to my expectations it was amazing. Sarah has to be the newest entry in this list because I only read her book last week. 





Number 2: Andrew Smith

Winger (Winger, #1)Again, it seems like everyone would have known about Winger as it is a very popular book but I only managed to read it this year and I really enjoyed it and I need to read more books by him, especially Stand Off. 







Number 1: Holly Bourne

 Am I Normal Yet?Holly Bourne has got to me my favourite author that I have found this year. Everyone raved about her books so much and I should have listened. I read Am I Normal Yet? and it has to be one of my favourite books of this year. I am so glad I discovered your books!

 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...

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...
