  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.

The Osemanverse Book Tag

So in September, Layla from ReadableLife created a book tag based around the characters of Alice Oseman. As I wasn’t really posting at the time, I kinda missed the opportunity to do it but as a massive fan of her work, I still wanted to do it. Also, check out Layla's blog as she is a great blogger! So let’s get started… 

JIMMY KAGA-RICCI
A CHARACTER YOU LOVE THAT OVERCAME SOMETHING HUGE

Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games: I mean it’s a bit obvious, but Katniss went through a lot. Like a lot and she is one of my favourite characters from one of my favourite series so Katniss who definitely overcame a lot. 

ROWAN OMONDI
FAVOURITE PROTECTIVE CHARACTER

rowan1

Iorek  Byrison & Lee Scoresby from His Dark Materials: Lyra doesn't really have the best parents in her life and both characters kind of take her under their wings especially Lee as he is really resistant to at the beginning to the series.

LISTER BIRD
CHARACTER THAT OOZES CHARM

lister1
Magnus Bane from basically any Shadowhunters book: I was really struggling with this one but I think that Magnus Bane has so much charm and a manner about him that it is hard to think of anyone else!

ANGEL RAHIMI
BOOK YOU’RE THE MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT

I think that I want to say any David Owen book because even though I don't feel like I talk about his books a lot I just want to shout about them all the time. I think that he is a great writer who has such unique and interesting ideas and more people should definitely read these books!

CHARLIE SPRING
FAVOURITE BOOKISH OTP

Nick and Charlie: Can I just go for the obvious? Of course, I ship Nick and Charlie and I will definitely go down with this ship. (Sorry I know.)

TORI SPRING
MOST MYSTERIOUS BOOK YOU’VE READ

TORI
Dangerous Girls by Abigal Haas: I had this book on my TBR for the longest time before I read it and I had no idea what it was about and as it was a thriller I wanted to go in blind. I did, however, then fall head over heels with the book and read it so quickly as I loved it!

NICK NELSON
FAVOURITE BOOK THAT BRINGS YOU JOY

EDnDDkPUYAAv_6F
Giant Days by John Allison: Although I haven't read all of the volumes in this series, I really love the vibes of Giant Days and I think that every time I think about them it just makes me happy. I also didn't want to pick Heartstopper because of course that brings me joy!

NELLIE
FAVOURITE BOOK TO SNUGGLE UP WITH

nfHXjE51
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling: I think that those of us who have read this story imagine like an Autumn night with a hot chocolate in our hands or a quiet night in watching the films. Basically, Harry Potter just feels like I'm coming home as it has been in my life for so long because Hogwarts is always there to welcome you home. (I'm sorry again) 

ALED LAST
A BOOK THAT HELPED YOU GET THROUGH A ROUGH TIME

aled
Fans Of The Impossible Life by Kate Scelsa: As I have spoken a lot about recently on the blog, I had a massive problem with my mental health last year where I felt really low. Although I was definitely feeling better in my mental health when I finished this, I think that it helped feel like I was not alone and that I show protect my mental health. 

FRANCES JANVIER
A CHARACTER WITH TONS OF DETERMINATION

frances
Hermione Granger from Harry Potter: Again another obvious choice but I guess I am just a predictable bean. I mean this is the character that used a time-turner in her third year at Hogwarts so that she could attend all of the classes. If that's not determined I don't know what is!

Favourite Books 2021

My reading year has been a bit of a weird one. I know that I have read quite a lot but I always find picking my favourite books is difficult. I have obviously read some great books this year so here they are: The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green  I love John Green, I feel that it is quite a well-known thing so it's no surprise that it made my favourite books of the year! The Anthropocene Reviewed is a pivotal book that represents current society. This book made me feel all the emotions. I laughed, almost cried and I tried to sit at the moment. It is a great book and I highly recommend especially if you wanted to give John Green a second chance.  T he Upper World by Femi Fadugba I had heard a lot about The Upper World a while before I read the book and I have to admit that I was really excited so it made me anticipate even more. I picked it up really quickly and raced through it. It was the last 100 pages that really got me as I finished it all in half an hour. I can't wait ...

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...
