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...

Halloween Creatures 2.0 Book Tag

As Halloween is less than a week ago, I wanted to get in the spirit. A few weeks ago I was tagged by Laurie's Bookshelf to do this Halloween Creatures 2.0 Book Tag so here it is!

It was created by Keep Reading Forward so check out their blog to see the original!


But first the rules...

• Answer all prompts.
• Answer honestly.
• Tag 1-13 people.
• Link back to this post.
• Remember to credit the creator.
• Have fun!
 Let's get started...
Witch

A Magical Character or Book.
So an obvious one but the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowing. I don't think anyone needs convincing to read this series!
Werewolf
The Perfect Book to Read at Night.
Ascension by Victor Dixen because you will want to stay up all night to read it and you have all the time to do so...
Frankenstein

A Book that Truly Shocked You.
Can I say, Frankenstein? I think I can. So obviously it's Halloween next week and everyone thinks that Frankenstein is something totally different from what it actually is. (In the best way) It's one of my favourite books so I clearly loved it. I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't. 
The Devil

A Dark, Evil Character.

Laurie's answer was the Darkling and I definitely agree. He was so evil and loads of people love him but I just don't get the hype. 
Grim Reaper

A Character that Should Never Have Died.

Where do I start with this question? Like literally where? Lupin. Sirius. Fred. There is probably loads more but I have just suppressed them.  
Zombie

A Book that Made You “Hungry” for More.

Scythe by Neal Shusterman. I want to know what happens next but I have so many books to get to. Thunderhead will have to wait...
Gargoyle

A Character that You Would Protect at All Cost.

Blue or Simon from Simon Vs. Or any character from Becky Albertalli's books basically. 
Vampire

A Book that Sucked the Life Out of You.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I didn't like this one. Sorry...
Ghost

A Book that Still Haunts You.

Unwind by Neal Shusterman because of that one scene. If you have read it, you KNOW!
Demon

A Book that Really Scared You.
Unwind again because it might actually happen in real life and I will be done if that happens...
Skeleton

A Character You Have a Bone to Pick With.

Gale from The Hunger Games series. I just don't like him.
Mummy

A Book You Would Preserve Throughout Time.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins *Mockingjay tune in the background*
Image result for electric dreams book coverCreepy Doll

A Cover too Scary to Look At.

Not scary just weird but the Electric Dreams cover...


The Monster Mash

It’s Fun to Be with Friends on Halloween!

Tag Your Friends!
I tag...
Rachel from RacheLeanne
Thank you for reading! 
Are you doing anything for Halloween? If you want to do the tag feel free to do so! 
See you soon, 
Amy

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...

Relighting My Fire (Part 1/3)

*This was written in October and is a series of three blog posts that I am publishing together. The thoughts in these blog posts may not affect how I am feeling now and it is safe to say that I do feel mentally better than I once did.* To be honest, this is the first time I've truly written something in months. It sucks. Like really  sucks but I don't think that I can do it if I don't really love it. So why now? Well, somethings changed. I have that spark again. My fire has been relit. This feels good again. Writing feels good again. I think another reason was that I finally have the motivation to do it again. Not for anyone else  but me. Because that is who I should write for. Me. Who you might be asking why I have been gone? Why have I not written anything in months? Well, that's a hard question and all I can say is that it is complicated. I wasn't OK and I for the  most part I am and when you feel like that writing something even a simple text ...
