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...

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 would ensure that Hollywood made this book into a movie…

Unwind by Neal Shusterman, this movie has been in pre-production for years and it is a book that I love dearly and that should be seen by many people. I would watch a thousand hours of commercials just to know the film was casting or filming.



4. I would never read a new book again if it meant I could live inside this book.
.

The Harry Potter Universe and Hogwarts would be an obvious choice for many including myself. Come on who wouldn’t want to go to Hogwarts.











5. I would let my Google search history be made public if it meant I could be best friends with this author...

 Robyn Schneider because after reading Severed Heads Broken Hearts (The Beginning of Everything in the US) I fell in love with her characters and her novel and it was one of my favourite books of 2013. It also has many nerdy references and I am sure we will have much in common, I don’t think I have much to hide anyway…

6. I would donate everything I own to Goodwill if it meant I could date this book character in real life...

For me, it has to be Simon Lewis from the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare as he was by far my favourite character in this series although I do like him with Isabella. I would probably donate all of my stuff just to be friends with him.




I hope you enjoyed this blog post, if you have answers to the questions please leave them in the comments below!

See you soon

Book Review: S. T. A. G. S. by M. A. Bennett

Title: S. T. A. G. S. Author: M. A. Bennett  Publisher: Hot Key Books Source: Bought Myself Rating: 4/5 stars ( Amazon | Goodreads ) Book Summary: Nine students. Three bloodsports. One deadly weekend. It is the autumn term and Greer MacDonald is struggling to settle into the sixth form at the exclusive St. Aidan the Great boarding school, known to its privileged pupils as S.T.A.G.S. Just when she despairs of making friends Greer receives a mysterious invitation with three words embossed upon on it: huntin' shootin' fishin'. When Greer learns that the invitation is to spend the half term weekend at the country manor of Henry de Warlencourt, the most popular and wealthy boy at S.T.A.G.S., she is as surprised as she is flattered. But when Greer joins the other chosen few at the ancient and sprawling Longcross Hall, she realises that Henry's parents are not at home; the only adults present are a cohort of eerily compliant servants. The student...

Dealing with Embarrassing Moments

Having anxiety doesn't lend itself to embarrassing moments. Instead of saying fuck it and moving on, our mind decides to let the memories stay and linger. Replaying themselves again. And again. And again until we start to go a little crazy. Today has been that day. First there was the answer that I couldn't give in class. Then the fact that I accidentally fell into a couple of people on the tube. At rush hour. There have been some good things. I met Hank Green and didn't make a complete fool of myself and this was because a nice guy from Waterstones gave me the correct raffle ticket. (THANK YOU!) I mean I look terrified in the pictures but still... Anyway back to these embarrassing moments. I know and my head knows that I should forget them. That the moment should become a distant memory that I laugh about but instead I hear the echoes of laughter and shock and embarrassment plaguing my existence. My waking thoughts. I want their to a day. A good day where I can brush t...

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 ...
