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...

The Seven Deadly Sins Tag

So as per on a Friday I do a tag. This week it is the seven deadly sins tag. I was tagged by Zhana from Confessions of an addict and she has a great blog so go check her out. So let's get started with the questions...
 1. Greed - What is your most inexpensive book? What is your most expensive book?

 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Illustrated Edition (Harry Potter #1)How I Live NowI have a couple of inexpensive books as I have received books for 10p from a library book sale. One of them was a copy of How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. The most expensive is probably my illustrated edition of Harry Potter which is meant to cost £30 although I know my Mum only paid £15 for it for my birthday.  




2. Wrath - What author do you have a love/hate relationship with?

The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass, #0.1-0.5)
Sarah J. Maas- I wouldn't say it is a love/hate relationship but it is a love/over-hyped relationship. I really liked the Assassin's Blade but I thought that Throne of Glass was just meh. I guess I will have to carry on with this series to see...










3. Gluttony - What book have you devoured over and over again with no shame?

The Book ThiefI am not a big rereader so I don't know if I have any answer to this. However I do really want to reread the Book Thief over and over so yeah...










4. Sloth - What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?

A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1)A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin- I wonder why... 












5. Pride - What book do you talk about most in order to sound like an intellectual reader?

The Catcher in the RyeI don't really brag about the books that I read because I don't think I tend to read books that I make me sound like an intellectual reader. Should I do it right now because I am currently reading a Catcher In The Rye by J. D. Salinger. 









6. Lust - What attributes do you find attractive in male characters?

A good sense of humour... That is literally all I have got...

7. Envy - What book would you most like to receive as a gift?

I don't really get books as gifts but as longer as it is a book that I don't already have then it will be fine.

As per a good tag, I don't tend to tag people but if you want to do it feel free. 

Have you done this tag? Leave your links in the comments below. 

See you soon, 

Amy

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

*I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free by Simon Pulse in exchange for an honest 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...
