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...

Recent Rambles: Writers Block

So I have an explanation, I guess after the massive change on my blog, I thought that I would be full of ideas and would want to write but it has been something I have become scared of. Writing I mean... 

I mean as I go to write this post I want to think of literally any explanation to make me stop writing. Do I need a snack? Do I need a drink? Can I do anything apart from this blog post? Let's face it I have done that, it has been over a month since my last blog post and I could have done it but I have been stuck. I did not want to write anything, it is like my brain can not get the words out it the way that I want them to, I become scared that anything I was writing was not good enough. Even something as simple as my manifesto for Harry Potter society became a chore and I ended up procrastinating for a long time and I know that it was not anything like I wanted it to be. Writing for fun became a chore because of the academics that I have been writing for literally the last month. 

It was not only the fact I feel like writing for fun was hard, ideas were hard too. I mean this idea in itself is not that good, I mean it is a life update post but I could do so much more with this but I have limited ideas. I mean I could do tags and stuff but I want to do more discussions but I feel like I have nothing to discuss. I don't know. 

People say that the only thing that cures things like this is time but I want to start posting again, I have come to far to stop now! Just forgive me if my posts are a bit dodgy over the next couple of weeks because I might not have that many ideas. 

I hope you stick with me and if you survived this ramble because I do not think even I did. 

Also, if you have any ideas for topics that you would like me to discuss, leave them in the comments below. 

See you soon, 

Amy 

I survived writing the post!

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...
