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...

October Wrap Up

So it's the end of yet another month and this means that I get to discuss the books I read in October. October was meant to be the month that I read all the creepy books that I bought to University with me but I only managed to read one horror book this month, even then, this was from five books. I didn't read that many books considering the amount of work I have had for University but anyway... Let's get started... Number 1: Just One Day by Gayle Forman   After loving Gayle Forman's other series the "If I Stay" Duology, I was really excited to read this book. It had been getting amazing reviews by people who didn't enjoy the If I Stay novels and I did really enjoy it. Although I found it slow, especially at the beginning and it taking me such a long time to read, it was a really nice book to read. The characters were really enjoyable and were well-written and the book had amazing writing and had a plot which was really good for someone who was st...

August Wrap-Up

Yet another month has gone by, but I am not here to complain over how quick the year is going, I am here to discuss what books I read in August! August was an OK reading month, a bit slower than July but I still managed to read around 10 books. Want to know what I read, let's get started... Number 1: Night Owls by Jenn Bennett This was a very entertaining read and was one of my favourite books of the year. The relationship between Jack and Beatrix was very raw and was not one of instant love which is a trope that I dislike. The rest of the characters were really well put together and were really enjoyable. I really enjoyed the writing and the plot and the use of mental health in this novel was done were well.  Number 2: The Stereotypical Freaks by Howard Shapiro This was a very different graphic novel for me as the ones that I had previously read tend to be sci-fi fantasy and this was contemporary. I really enjoyed it was the characters we...

Cramathon Wrap Up

So the cramathon is nearly over so here is my wrap up. Cramathon went from  July 10th at 12 AM midnight (your time zone) - July 13th at 11:59 PM (your timezone)  and was hosted by  whittynovels . Although the cramathon does not finish until tonight, I don't see myself reading anything else. The were challenges to the readathon  so let’s get started to see if I completed them… 1.Read a children's book :  A Bear called Paddington I enjoyed reading this as it took me back to my childhood and was an enjoyable read. However, I thought that each chapter was like an individual story rather than it mounting to a novel in its own right. It was still a 4 star read. I, however, didn't read Harry Potter as I wasn't feeling it.  2. Read a hardback :  Death House by Sarah Pinborough I really enjoyed  this book, I went into it not knowing anything about it, thinking that it was more of a horror when in reality it was ...
