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 Inside Out Book Tag

I saw this tag on youtube and I thought it looked like fun. The book tag is the Inside Out book tag which is based on the Pixar film although I haven't seen it yet but I am excited to, each question is based on a character in the story. This tag was created by Kristina Horner so you can see the original video idea. Let's get started...

 1. Books That Brings You Joy

                                    Sunkissed by Jenny McLachlan 

 Sunkissed (Ladybirds, #3)I read this book a couple of weeks ago and it is one of those light summer reads that just makes you happy. It also reminds me of when I was a lot younger and I would read more books like this. 

                  

                       Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison 
Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #1)
This book is the epitome of joy as it was one of the first books that I first read of a YA nature and when I was 13. I also just remember laughing so much to this book and they definitely a book that brings joy. 



2. A Book That Made You Angry


Allegiant by Veronica Roth

Allegiant (Divergent, #3)This book... This book just made me so angry. To me the series was going well until this one where it was just so bad. I think by reading so many books of the same genre they had much better endings. It just didn't live up to my hype. 









3. A Book That Made You Disgusted

The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, #2)Compared to some people I do actually enjoy this book but there is an image in this book that I really didn't like which involves decaying bodies hanging from the ceiling that I haven't been able to get out of my head since. 








4. Books That Make You Sad

                               The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

The Fault in Our Stars
The obvious choice...








                             Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell 

Eleanor & ParkThis book gave me all the feels (did I just say that?). If I was not in school then I would have cried but I didn't. Still made me sad though...






5. A Book That Bring You Fear

Unwind By Neal Shusterman 

Unwind (Unwind, #1)I think the fact that Shusterman decides to include real snippets from this world about organ trafficking helps bring fear to me as this story could happen in real life and that is scary. 





Feel free to leave your answers in the comments. Also feel free to do this tag. 

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...
