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.

The Extraordinary Means Book Tag

So I am currently reading Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider and knew there was a book tag about this on YouTube created by the author herself and thought it would be a good idea to do it. You can view it here . Here are the questions… 1. I would give up the Internet for a month for a signed first edition of this book… The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins seems like an obvious choice for me, I’ve loved this book since I first read it and I think I can live without the Internet, I mean I still have books. 2. I would give up pizza for a year if it meant I could sit next to this author on a long plane ride… This would have to be John Green, I mean I love pizza but it’s John Green! He is one of my favourite author’s and I would love to talk him about his books, Harry Potter and Nerdfighteria as well as life in general. I just hope I don’t have a Van Houten moment.   3. I would sit through a thousand hours of commercials if it...
