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 Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Auto-Buy Authors

It's Tuesday which means that it is time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's topic is top ten auto-buy authors. The Top Ten Tuesday feature was created by The Broke and the Bookish and more about it can be found here. Let's get started...

Honourable Mentions:

 -Marissa Meyer- I really love the Lunar Chronicles so will happily buy anything that she writes in the future.
- Veronica Roth- I had problems with Allegiant like so many people but I would like to see what else she comes up with.   
-Gayle Foreman- I love all of her books and will continue to read them as long as she continues to write them.
-Samantha Shannon- I read the Bone Season early this year and I know that she is an author that I will continue to buy and read from. 

 10. Neal Shusterman

 Challenger DeepAlthough I do really like Neal Shusterman, he has a lot of books out... Like so many. If I was to buy all of his books in one go I will literally be so poor and will have no money. I do really like his stories and characters especially the fact that he can write so diversely in genres ranging from contemporary to fantasy although with a large quantities of books I will choose books which are most interesting to me. 




9. Louise Rennison

 Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #1)I completely love her books especially the Angus, Thongs books and the prequel series. She has released 13 books so far and I have read them all and will continue to read any more to come. 








8. Jenny Downham

 UnbecomingJenny Downham is one of those authors that doesn't have a lot of books out but every time see does I guarantee that it is going to be on my shelf. She is an amazing writer and writes so interesting and gripping stories. She is one of those authors I will continue to read for a long time to come. 








7. James Dashner

 The Eye of Minds (The Mortality Doctrine, #1)Although the Maze Runner series is one of my favourite series ever I think post Maze Runner, he is definitely an auto-buy author but I don't know if I have any desire to read his earlier works. I am reading his most recent series I just need to continue on with it. He is kind of an auto-buy author. 








6. Maggie Stiefvater

 The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1)I loved her earlier works including the Wolves of Mercy Falls series and her Faeries series and I quote her as being one of the authors that got me into YA in the first place. She is a definite auto-buy although I need to catch up on the Raven Cycle series which everyone raves about. 









5. Holly Bourne 

 Am I Normal Yet?Holly Bourne is one of those new authors that I discovered this year and loved her writing and her stories. Although she only has three books I love the two that I have read and I know I will buy her books the day that they are out. 









4. Rainbow Rowell

 LandlineI am a fan of Rainbow Rowell especially her YA books but I love her stories and her writing that I will buy all of her books. To me it doesn't matter whether it is YA or Adult, Rainbow Rowell is a definitely auto-buy.









3. Julie Kagawa

 Image result for talon by julie kagawaJulie Kagawa is one of my favourite authors and I will be buying anything that she writes for years to come...











2. Cassandra Clare

 City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6)I love the Shadowhunter world and her writing she is amazing. I don't know what to say except she is a definitely auto-buy!











1. John Green 

 The Fault in Our StarsWhat can I say about this one? Although I love him as an author I am prepared to wait for a new book and when it comes out. I know that when it is announced it will definitely be on preorder.

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...
