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: Books to read by the fire

Top 5 WednesdayIt’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five books to read by the fire. 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: The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis  
The Chronicles of Narnia (Chronicles of Narnia, #1-7)This one is probably a no brainer. When Lucy first walks in the wardrobe there is a blanket of white snow on the floor and snow is the first thing I think of winter. This would just be a great book to sit around the fire and read.   








Number 4: My True Love Gave to Me by Stephanie Perkins and other authors 

 My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Winter RomancesThis is a collection of Christmas stories and is definitely perfect for around the fire. The stories in this book also have a Christmas or winter theme so are perfect to read around the fire. 









Number 3: Let It Snow by John Green, Lauren Myracle and Maureen Johnson  

 Let It SnowThis is the book that I am currently reading and I definitely know that if I do not read it this year then I will have to wait for next year. It is definitely a Christmas read centred around this time and the Maureen Johnson part is set in a snow storm and this just says a winter read.  








Number 2: Dash and Lilly's Book of Dares by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn 

 Dash & Lily's Book of Dares (Dash & Lily, #1)This is another Christmas book that is perfect for Christmas. Especially if you like a book set in New York during Christmas. It is definitely another book perfect for reading by the fire!









Number 1: Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling 

 I do not know why everyone thinks that the Harry Potter series links to Christmas but I am also one of those people. Maybe it is because everyone wants to have dinner in the Great Hall... Well that is my reason!



What are you favourite books to read by the fire? Leave them in 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 ...
