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 Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under My Trees This Year

It's Tuesday which means that it is time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's topic is top ten books I wouldn't mind Santa leaving under my trees this year. 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...

Number 10: It's Kind of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini 

 It's Kind of a Funny StoryI have been so tempted by this books on so many times and would love to receive it for Christmas, if not next year!









Number 9: Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas 

 Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4)I really want to marathon the rest of the ToG series next year so having the fourth book would be good and I really want to catch up to the hype. 








Number 8: Mosquitoland by David Arnold 

 MosquitolandI have had my eye on this book for a while so would really like this for Christmas. 









Number 7: Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin 

 Wolf By Wolf (Wolf By Wolf, #1)This book has been getting some hype for sometime and I sounds really interesting and a book that I really want to read. 








Number 6: Life And Death by Stephenie Meyer

 Life and Death: Twilight ReimaginedI know this has been getting some bad reviews but I feel like I need to read this for myself and it would therefore make a good Christmas present!








Number 5: Champion/ The Young Elites by Marie Lu

 Champion (Legend, #3)I really want to finish the Legend trilogy in 2016 so I would really like Champion for Christmas so I can finish it. The Young Elites has also been been getting some good reviews and I would also love to read this one and get it for Christmas. 






Number 4: Harry Potter Illustrated by J.K. Rowling 

 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)I really want to reread Harry Potter and my edition is kind of unreadable because it is so old and I would really love to read it in the new edition.









Number 3: Just One Year by Gayle Foreman 

 Just One Year (Just One Day, #2)I read Just One Day and I really enjoyed it so I would love the sequel for Christmas as I really want to finish the series and see where it goes.  








Number 2: Rogue/ The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa 
Rogue (Talon #2)Julie Kagawa is one of my favourite authors and I am yet to read both Rogue and the Iron Traitor so I would really like these two books for Christmas!!!








Number 1: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)One of the reasons that I really want for Christmas is the original cover of City of Bones as I have an old cover of this book and the movie cover but don't have the one that matches my others. This is also at the top because I know I am getting this book for Christmas. 







What books do you want for Christmas? Leave them in the comments below.

 See you soon, 

 Amy

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...

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'.

The student...
