About Me

My review requests are open, please send me an email at powisamy@gmail.com, and I will consider requests, and I will reply as soon as possible. 

Hi, I am Amy, a 24-year-old girl from Dagenham (although I now live in Colchester but try to visit London frequently just not in the middle of a pandemic) who enjoys reading books and blogging about them. 

I have graduated from university with a 2.1 in Modern History and have graduated with an MA in History part-time. (I know a bit weird but what can I say I like history!) 

Now that I have a lot more free time, you can find me
 watching YouTube videos, watching films or TV or my job at a popular fried chicken restaurant. I am trying to move on from this job and hope to get a job in publishing. I am really interested in joining as a Rights Assistant or somewhere in Publicity. So if anyone reading this needs someone who is in publishing and who has an opening hit me up!  

In the middle of all of this, I am trying to maintaining a consistent schedule on my blog, which explores my love for books and other things. Since I no longer do my degree, expect a few posts about history and writing to pop up on the odd occasion!

I am a writer who is currently in the middle of writing my first book (and her second. I don't make sense!), I will sometimes post on my writing progress and hope to do so in the future so watch out for that. Also, I am trying to write a new idea that is slow and steady. I have written a lot about my writing journey so far so of course there is going to be a lot more in the journey!

I hope you join me on my blogging journey, which I have been doing for almost 6 years now. (AH!!!!)

See you soon, 

Amy

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden  Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury  Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK |  Hive |  Goodreads  |  Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding. Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit a...

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...

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...
