  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.

Top 5 Wednesday: Books You Did Not Finish

Top 5 WednesdayIt’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five books you didn't finish. 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: City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

 Image result for city of bones bookOK, so this one's kind of true... When I first started to read, this book was recommended to me and I didn't enjoy it at all. I didn't get passed the first chapter. This being said with the arrival of the film, I read it again and it is now one of my favourite books. 








Number 4: Divergent by Veronica Roth

 Divergent (Divergent, #1)So like City of Bones, this is another one of those books that I really disliked and didn't pick it back up. I just remember it being stuck under my bed for months until I finally picked it back up again. The rest is history...









Number 3: My Mad Fat Diary by Rae Earl

 My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary (Rae Earl, #1)This is a current one that I have not finished although I do intend to continue reading this but I have other books to read first...










Number 2: Lord Of The Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien 

 The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, #1-3)This book is the bane of my existence... I have attempted to read this book twice and I just can't do it. The thing I still want to read this one because I want to experience the joys of this world and want to watch the films. I think I just need to find the right time. 








Number 1: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin 

 A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1)To be honest I still want to read this one and I did only get 25 pages in. I also want to pick this one back up but I don't have the time for it at the minute. One day...










What are some of the books that you didn't finish? 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...
