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...

Totally Should've Book Tag

So I normally do tags on a Friday and I have seen this book tag around book-tube recently so I have decided to do it. This book tag is the Totally Should've book tag created by Emmmabooks so you can look at the video if you want. So let's get started...

1. Totally should've gotten a sequel

NimonaNimona by Noelle Stevenson- I do not know if there is a sequel to this, but the world of Nimona is so good that I would love a one. Although maybe I would rather have a prequel but that is kind of a sequel right? No....










2. Totally should've had a spin off series

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)Harry Potter- OK so this is an obviously answer but come on why would you not like a spin off to Harry Potter.












3. An author who totally should write more books

Blood Red Road (Dust Lands, #1)Moira Young- I do not feel like Moira Young has that many books and by this I mean she only has 3 books out currently. I have met her and I did ask her if she was writing a new series so hopefully some time soon...











4. A character who totally should've ended up with someone else

Every time there is a question like this I never know how to answer it because all the OTPs that I have tend to have get together. So sorry no answer for this one....

5. Totally should've ended differently

Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)Mockingjay- OK so this book is a good in so many ways but I really do not like how the book betrays Katniss is the last twenty pages or so at all. I feel like it was not her. I do like the epilogue though. 










6. Totally should've had a movie franchise

Unwind (Unwind, #1)Unwind- I think this is being made into a film but I really don't know. The film market has loads of YA book to movie adaptations and I don't think it would do that well if it was made. It would be nice to see saying that. 










7. Totally should've had a TV show

Off the top of my head I can't really think of a book series that I really want to be a TV series. Leave your ideas in the comments below. 
8. Totally should've had only one point of view


Allegiant (Divergent, #3)Allegiant- I feel like when I watch videos of this tag, this is one of the most common answers because the POV is not needed and it just does not work because both POVs sound the same. Also it makes what happens in the end so obvious. 










9. Totally should have a cover change

The Masked TruthThe Masked Truth- I don't really like this cover. It is not attractive and doesn't really work in comparison to the book. 












10. Totally should've kept the original cover

Looking for AlaskaLooking for Alaska- I really enjoyed the original UK cover and I don't like the newer covers so Looking for Alaska.  












11. Totally should've stopped at book one

Winger (Winger, #1)Winger- So to be honest I really don't know much about Stand Off but is it really needed Winger could have been a stand alone. I still am going to read Stand Off though I don't know if it is needed. 










Feel free to leave your answers to the questions 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...

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...
