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...

Top 5 Wednesday: Side Characters That Deserve Their Own Series


It’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s 
topic is side characters that deserve their own series.  To find more about Top 5 Wednesday’s you can join the goodreads group and discover the creator of the group Lainey. So let’s get started…
Number 5: Patrick from The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

 The Perks of Being a WallflowerWhen I first read the Perks of Being A Wallflower, I feel in love with Patrick and I feel like Ezra Miller playing Patrick in the film increased my love for this character so I feel like I would read a book about him although I know it will never happen.  







Number 4: Minho from The Maze Runner


 The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1)I love all the side characters in the Maze Runner series more than the main characters like Teresa and Thomas.  This said I feel like I would rather read a book about Newt and Minho than another about Thomas. Hopefully we will see more of them in The Fever Code but I have my doubts. 






Number 3: Jackal from The Immortal Rules

 The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1)I love Jackal as a character as I feel like he keeps Allison in line and tells her when she is pining over Zeke in the entire series. Therefore I would love a prequel series with Jackal and would definitely like him to have his own book maybe how he became a vampire?   






Number 2: Puck from The Iron King 

 The Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1)Another Julie Kagawa series in my list. This was the first series by her that I read and I fell in love with Puck as a character. He was the one who added the humour to the series and was just a fun character. I would happily read a whole book about him.  







Number 1: Simon Lewis from The Mortal Instruments series 

 Welcome to Shadowhunter Academy (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #1)It is fair to say that Simon Lewis is my favourite character in the Mortal Instruments series, he is funny and has his nerdy side in which he loves anime. This one however is slightly cheating as their is the Shadowhunters Academy series coming out about Simon and I am so excited. Cassandra Clare must have had the same thoughts as I do. As you can see by the whole list I go with the guy with a wittiness about him over looks. 



Honourable Mentions:

Nick and Charlie
-Nick and Charlie from Solitaire- this one is kind of cheating as they have their own novella anyway which came out last week but they were one of the things that I loved about Solitaire and I really loved there relationship. 
Image result for tiny cooper-Tiny Cooper from Will Grayson, Will Grayson- again this one is also cheating as Tiny Cooper also has book of his musical out but he was one of my favourite elements of Will Grayson.
What side characters do you think deserve their own series? 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...

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 ...

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...
