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: Favourite Unknown Books


It’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five unknown or self-published books. 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: In Bloom by Matthew Crow
In BloomI really enjoyed this book when I read it a couple of years ago and I don't think that it gets a lot of hype that I think that it deserves so I am mentioning it to you so that you can hopefully read it. 
Number 4: Rebecca Newton series by Mario Routi  
Rebecca Newton and the Sacred Flame
I really enjoy this series and it has less than 50 ratings on goodreads and more people should read this series. It is based on Greek myth so it you enjoy this kind of book, this is for you. Although the series is more of a companion series so if you don't like this kind of series, it is not for you. 







Number 3: Downsiders by Neal Shusterman

Downsiders (Downsiders, #1)I feel like Neal Shusterman is a popular author but this is a lesser known book and it is a really interesting book with a really good premise that more people should read. 










Number 2: Dead Ends by Erin Lange 

Dead EndsThis book is also really underrated and I don't think that it gets the support that it needs. This book deals really well with disability and has a great plot and characters and is definitely a must read!








Number 1: North of Porter by Kirkland Ciccone 

North of PorterNorth of Porter only has 6 ratings on goodreads and has a 5 star rating average. This tells you that it is a really great book and that it is. The plot is weird and strange but this is what I love about it. The characters are amazing and I highly recommend it.

See you soon,

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...
