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,

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...
