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: Ten Characters You Didn't Click With

It's Tuesday which means that it is time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's topic is top ten characters you didn't click with. 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...

Number 10: Lena from the Delirium series

 Delirium (Delirium, #1)Although I do like Lena she can at times be very annoying especially when it comes to her image. I wouldn't say we didn't click it, it was more of a misunderstanding. 









Number 9: Tally Underblood from The Uglies series

 Uglies (Uglies, #1)I haven't read this story in a long while but it is one that I need to get back into although I do have some problems with Tally herself which prevents me from continuing this series. The problem again is with her looks which also is the main bases with this series.









Number 8: Gally from The Maze Runner series

 I can't really talk about this one without spoilers from the Death Cure but even in the Maze Runner we just didn't click. 









Number 7: Peter from the Divergent series

 Image result for peter from divergentPeter is just that conflicting character that not many people like and I am no different. Although Roth tried to make him nicer and have emotions in Allegiant, this didn't change my feelings about him as a character what so ever. 









Number 6: Juliette from the Shatter Me series

 Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2)Especially in Unravel Me, Juliette is so caught up with Adam who features later in this list and to me she never reaches her full ability. Hopefully she changes in Ignite Me... Hopefully...










Number 5: Celaena from Throne of Glass

 Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1)Celaena from Throne of Glass is the assassin who to me has a no emotion especially in the first book and that made me dislike her quite a bit however this changed in the short stories or group of novellas. In this she tries to save a group of slaves which to me is a softer heart especially for an assassin. 







Number 4:The Darkling from The Grisha Trilogy

 Ruin and Rising (The Grisha, #3)It's not that I really dislike him, it's just that to me a villain is a villain and they are meant to be disliked and everyone loves him and I just don't. 









Number 3: Adam from Shatter Me

 Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2)Adam from Shatter Me is just really annoying and to me he prevents Juliette from her goals and is always holding her back.









Number 2: Sutter Keely from The Spectacular Now
Image result for sutter keely
Sutter Keely is a self obsessed character who literally cares about no one but himself. He is definitely a character that I just don't like at all.  







Number 1: Gale from The Hunger Games 

 I think the films made me hate Gale more than the books did as the films have focused more on the romance element than the books did. The films seem to think that it was a good idea to have a disappointing Gale when Peeta and Katniss kiss when this was not needed. To me he just came across really mopey and a character than was just annoying.

 See you soon,

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.

Book Review: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares by Krystal Sutherland

* I have received this book for review from Readers First but this in no way affects my review * Title: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares Author: Krystal Sutherland Source: From Readers First Publisher: Hot Key Books Rating: 5/5 stars ( Goodreads | Amazon ) Book Summary from Goodreads: Ever since Esther Solar's grandfather was cursed by Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime. Esther's father is agoraphobic and hasn't left the basement in six years, her twin brother can t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck. The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.  Esther doesn't know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces, and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen oth...
