  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: Top Five Fictional Cities

Top 5 WednesdayIt’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five fictional cities. 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: Downsiders Universe

 Downsiders (Downsiders, #1)This is a book by Neal Shusterman which has some kind of appeal to it. The Downsiders have their own unique world which is amazing, a world set underneath New York city. I wouldn't want to live there but it is a nice world to read about and there is a apparently there is a sequel to this book which I really want to read. 







Number 4: Iron Fey World

 The Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1)The Iron Fey World is one of those's world that I would admire from afar as it can be dangerus for humans but Julie Kagawa has built a very vivid world of Faeries that I really love and it is explored as the series progresses. It is a universe that I would love to explore. 









Number 3: The Mortal Instruments Universe

 City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3)The Mortal Instruments Universe is one that I just want to be involved in and visit at least once. I state that this series as one of my favourites and would love to visit Alicante. I just need to find out how to be a Shadowhunter first...








Number 2: Take Back The Skies Universe

 Take Back the Skies (Take Back the Skies, #1)People will probably be asking why does this goes above the TMI series which is one of my favourite series ever, well this one is a very unique series that not many people have heard of and I thought that I would include it on this list. This fantasy world has a lot of places to visit and are equally wonderful in themselves and I would love to see the world expand in the next books. 






Number 1: Hogwarts or The Harry Potter Universe

 Image result for hogwartsI will be surprised if this doesn't make everyone's list because everyone wants to experience Hogwarts at least once, whether it's the dining room or the common rooms or even trying Butterbeer, we all want to be part of the world. This is definitely a favourite. 

What are you favourite fictional cities? Leave them in the comments below.

 See you soon,

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...

Characters Vs Plot: Which is more important?

Characters versus plot, I feel like is a question that is mentioned quite often in the book community but which one is better and does it even matter? To be honest, I don't know but I feel like it can be generally a personal preference.  I guess my first thought at this question would be, of course, it is the characters. I mean you can have a great plot but if your characters are weak, what are who are you going to care about? I feel like there are notable things to consider, however, as we would all say things like, "I would read anything by J.K. Rowling especially the Harry Potter characters even if they were doing nothing." That's because they are great characters and as an audience, most of us care about these characters so much but would we really do this? I don't think so, in fairness it would probably be boring because if they had no plot the characters wouldn't be themselves.  Characters need the plot to develop and grow and make them real charac...
