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...

Coffee Book Tag

I saw this tag on youtube and I thought it looked like fun. The book tag is the Coffee Book Tag in which you link coffee to books and let's face it I love coffee and books so this is the ideal tag for me. This tag was created by BangadyBangz so you can see the original video idea there. Let's get started...


1. Black:
Name a series that's tough to get into but has hardcore fans.

Fallen (Fallen, #1)Fallen by Lauren Kate- I have little interest in reading this series and it is definitely one that has hardcore fans especially because the film is coming out. The fact is that I don't read a lot of paranormal romance so it is tough to get into for me but I want to see the movie so I will try to get to the book. 










2. Peppermint mocha: 
Name a book that gets more popular during the winter or a festive time of year.


Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5)Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling- I don't know why but this series does seem to get more popular as the year progresses maybe it is the link to Christmas and having fun as a child but I don't know, you can read it anytime to be honest.  








3. Hot chocolate:


What is your favorite children's book?

Tarka The Otter (Puffin Modern Classics)Tarka the Otter by Henry Williamson- I remember when I was younger I use to be obsessed with animals and therefore books about animals and this one I remember was a favourite and I still own my childhood copy. Compared to some this is probably a weird choice but I still love this as a children's book.









4. Double shot of espresso:


 Name a book that kept you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Concentr8Concentr8 by William Sutcliffe- I read this book in two days and this is good for me as I don't often read books too quickly or even in one sitting. It was a fast paced book and was definitely a fast-paced read. 











5. Starbucks:


Name a book you see everywhere.

Red Queen (Red Queen, #1)Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard- Booktube, the blogs, the book shops, you name it it's there. There is so hype around this book, I think I will read it just give me time... a lot of time...










6. That hipster coffee shop:


 Give a book by an indie author a shoutout

Rebecca Newton and the Sacred FlameRebecca Newton series by Mario Routi- This is a series about Greek gods and I really enjoyed it, it is not very well known however I highly recommend it. 











7. Oops! I accidentally got decaf: 


Name a book you were expecting more from.

Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1)Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi- Although I enjoyed this book, with all the hype surrounding this book, I don't know I was just expecting more...












8. The perfect blend: 

Name a book or series that was both bitter and sweet but ultimately satisfying.

City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6)The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare- This book series has it all, romance, action, adventure, tense moments, violence and it has funny moments all involving amazing characters and writing. There is a reason that this will always be one of my favourite series.

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...

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...
