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

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...

Disfigured and Disability: My Story

So I don't really mention it online but I have a disability.  Due to complications at birth, I developed a type of cerebral palsy called left-sided hemiplegia, which is a weakness that affects the left side of my body, especially my left hand. I don't have it severely and my condition is a lot better than some people.  Because of this, I don't really mention that much. For much of my life, I have tried to hide my disability because I always compared myself to others. A lot of the time, I didn't identify with the label. My condition and I have a complicated relationship.  That is until I read Disfigured by Amanda Leduc.  OK. I'm not going to say that this book changed my life and the way that I explored my own disability but it illustrated so much of what I felt in my brain.  I have grown up not really having someone to look to up in terms of my disability. No one I knew had the same condition as me until I was 17 and one of my sister's friend had it. This is str...
