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: Favourite Unknown Books


It’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five unknown or self-published books. 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: In Bloom by Matthew Crow
In BloomI really enjoyed this book when I read it a couple of years ago and I don't think that it gets a lot of hype that I think that it deserves so I am mentioning it to you so that you can hopefully read it. 
Number 4: Rebecca Newton series by Mario Routi  
Rebecca Newton and the Sacred Flame
I really enjoy this series and it has less than 50 ratings on goodreads and more people should read this series. It is based on Greek myth so it you enjoy this kind of book, this is for you. Although the series is more of a companion series so if you don't like this kind of series, it is not for you. 







Number 3: Downsiders by Neal Shusterman

Downsiders (Downsiders, #1)I feel like Neal Shusterman is a popular author but this is a lesser known book and it is a really interesting book with a really good premise that more people should read. 










Number 2: Dead Ends by Erin Lange 

Dead EndsThis book is also really underrated and I don't think that it gets the support that it needs. This book deals really well with disability and has a great plot and characters and is definitely a must read!








Number 1: North of Porter by Kirkland Ciccone 

North of PorterNorth of Porter only has 6 ratings on goodreads and has a 5 star rating average. This tells you that it is a really great book and that it is. The plot is weird and strange but this is what I love about it. The characters are amazing and I highly recommend it. 








What are your favourite unknown books? Leave them in the comments below. 

See you soon, 

Amy

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 ...

Favourite Books 2021

My reading year has been a bit of a weird one. I know that I have read quite a lot but I always find picking my favourite books is difficult. I have obviously read some great books this year so here they are: The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green  I love John Green, I feel that it is quite a well-known thing so it's no surprise that it made my favourite books of the year! The Anthropocene Reviewed is a pivotal book that represents current society. This book made me feel all the emotions. I laughed, almost cried and I tried to sit at the moment. It is a great book and I highly recommend especially if you wanted to give John Green a second chance.  T he Upper World by Femi Fadugba I had heard a lot about The Upper World a while before I read the book and I have to admit that I was really excited so it made me anticipate even more. I picked it up really quickly and raced through it. It was the last 100 pages that really got me as I finished it all in half an hour. I can't wait ...

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...
