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...
As you all have probably noticed, it is now September. I know a shocker right? But with September comes to the end of summer which means that school is starting and autumn is coming. At the beginning of summer, I made a list of books that I wanted to read before summer ends and although I did not complete this list, I still read a lot of books and by a lot of books I mean 55 books including graphic novels. So I thought I would talk about my favourite 14 books that I read. Let's get started...
Number 1: Hawkeye Volumes 1-4 by Matt Fraction and David Aja
After I got a free months trial of Marvel Unlimited over the summer, this meant that I had taken advantage of it. I had heard good things about so, therefore, I read the volume. It was a really nice take on a character who does not always get the screen time he deserves and these comics are a great way to learn more about as a character.
Number 2: She-Hulk Volumes 1 and 2 by Charles Soule
Again with the use of the Marvel Unlimited app, I discovered She-Hulk which quickly became one of my favourites. It follows Jennifer Walters as she tries to juggle being a superhero and her lawyer firm.
Number 3: Silk Volume 0 by Robbie Thompson and Stacey Lee
Silk is a new addition to the Marvel Universe by her story is unique which makes it a good read and an interesting often different slightly to the marvel comics people know and love. Therefore you should all read it because it is good!
Number 4: The Next Together by Lauren Together
This book had been on my radar for a while before I actually picked it up and I had heard nothing but good things about it. Therefore when I read this book I was surprised by how great it actually was and really want the final book in this duology which is out later this year.
Number 5: Camp Midnight by Steven Seagle
So this is another graphic novel on the list. This one is very much a middle-grade graphic novel and although it is not the greatest of literary masterpieces it is just fun and has a great message. I mean I liked it so much that it made this wrap up so...
Number 6: Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas
A quite unknown YA thriller but a great one at that, Dangerous Girls is an amazing book that I highly recommend you read. Like now...
Number 7: Gemina by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
The eagerly awaited sequel to Illuminae is a great read and to those who are waiting for the sequel, this book will not disappoint.
Number 8: Undivided by Neal Shusterman
After really enjoying the rest of the Unwind series, I was really excited to read the end of it. I was disappointed as the events of this book kept me on the edge of my seat and I was shocked many a time. I highly recommend this series as it is very great!
Number 9: What's A Girl Gotta Do? by Holly Bourne
I have literally loved everything Holly Bourne has written and this is no exception. I absolutely loved Lottie's story and I am sad to say goodbye to the Spinster club but I can not wait for the short story. These books deal with feminism in a great way and are worth reading.
Number 10: Geek Girl by Holly Smale
I read the first three books in this series and they are just good fun and great reads that I recommend. If you are looking for a light, quick reads you have come to the right place.
Number 11: Lobsters by Lucy Ivison and Tom Ellen
This is a great summer read and is real and honest which is refreshing to read about in YA novel. I can not wait to read more books by them!
Number 12: Only Ever Yours by Louise O'Neill
This book is a really important read and I really loved it. It has a core theme of feminism and is just a must read.
Number 13: Holding Up The Universe by Jennifer Niven
This book was quite controversial when the book plot was put on GoodReads but it is so much more than that. It is a great book that you should all read when it comes out in October.
Number 14: Disruption by Jessica Shrivington
An interesting YA sci-fi novel that was just really good! It is only a duology and I hope that I can get it soon.

See you soon,
