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 5 Wednesday: Disappointing Eye Candy

It’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five books with disappointing eye candy. 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: Daughters Unto Devils by Amy Lukavics 

 Daughters unto DevilsThe cover to this book is very beautiful but I just did not like this book. I am normally put off of horror but this was not that scary it was just a little creepy. I ended up unhauling it, I don't know I guess I was expecting more. 







Number 4: Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

 Why We Broke UpThe cover to this is really simple but I really like it. However I didn't really like this book at all. I found so many things wrong with this book so...








Number 3: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

 Nick & Norah's Infinite PlaylistLike the other two books, the cover for this book is really pretty especially as the cover only has words on it however the book just didn't live up to my expectations. I found the characters annoying and it did take me a long time to read for such a small book. 







Number 2: Eve by Anna Carey 

 Eve (Eve, #1)I did actually like this book but I was running out of options so I included this one. The cover of this book is really beautiful although I don't know if the cover lived up to how I felt about it.







Number 1: What We Left Behind by Robin Talley 

 What We Left BehindI was really excited about this book and this is represented in the cover, it is not afraid to make it known that it is a LGBTQ+ book and I love that. However I didn't love this book, I have a lot of problems with it and a review will be coming soon...

 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...

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 ...
