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...

5 "Unknown" Books I Love

In the blogging world, many books can become hyped and others can be left behind. In this blog post, I would like to take a look at some books that I love that you may not have heard of. So let's get started... 

 1. In Bloom by Matthew Crow

 In BloomI read In Bloom years ago and I really enjoyed it. It is a really touching story about a boy who is suffering from cancer and was also really funny and endearing. More people should definitely read this one! 












2. North of Porter by Kirkland Ciccone
North of Porter
North of Porter is a strange and weird book but I mean this in the best way as I really enjoyed this book when I read it a couple of years ago and it was one of my favourite books of the year. If you can find it I definitely recommend it!












3. Tell Us Something True by Dana Reinhardt
Tell Us Something True
Tell Us Something True is a great contemporary that I don't know if a lot of people have heard of but it is a really short book which is really interested and I loved reading, I would highly recommend it!












4. Dead Ends by Erin Lange

 Dead EndsDead Ends is a great YA book that I read a few years ago and that everyone should read. It is a sweet book and has quite complex characters so it is a good read!













5. Eren by Simon P. Clarke
Eren
This is the only MG book on the list and for good reason because it is really good. I read it in one day and it is really creepy and definitely worth the read!













Have you read any of these books? If so, did you like them?

 See you soon, 

 Amy

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...
