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: Series I resolve to finish in 2016

It's Tuesday which means that it is time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's topic is series I want to finish in 2016. 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: The Iron Warrior by Julie Kagawa

 The Iron Warrior (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten, #3)Julie Kagawa is one of my favourite authors and I love her Iron Fey series so I really need to finish this one. The last book left on a massive cliffhanger and I surprised that I have not finished this one yet because I really wanted to read it. However this book did take a while to come out so that I may be the reason. I should get this read this year. 





Number 9: Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi 

 Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3)My aim was to finish the Shatter Me series last year however that did not happen so my aim is to finish this year. Like the Iron Warrior the last book ended on a cliff hanger so I really want to know what happens if I can get passed how annoying the characters are that is. 






Number 8: The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin  

 The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #3)I really enjoyed the other two books in this series and I really need to read this however I have heard negative things about it so this may have put me off. This has again been on one that got pushed back a lot of times so this may be the reason that I am slow to read but like the rest of them I want to read it this year. 






Number 7: Winter by Marissa Meyer

 Winter (The Lunar Chronicles, #4)I have had this since it has come out and really wanted to read it at the end of last year however I didn't get around to it. This book is over 800 pages and considering my longest book last year was only 600- even then this was Illuminae- I could be putting this off due to it's length. I really do want to read this one as I really want to know how it ends. 






Number 6: Raging Star by Moira Young 

 Raging Star (Dust Lands, #3)This is another book that I have had since it's release and that was in 2014. I really want to know how this series wraps up, I guess I just have been reading other things rather than this one. 








Number 5: End of Days by Susan Ee

 End of Days (Penryn & the End of Days, #3)I really want to read this one too as I have read the other two books around this time the last couple of books. This will be the year that I finish this series. 










Number 4: Rebecca Newton and the War of Gods by Mario Routi 

 Rebecca Newton and the War of the Gods (Rebecca Newton, #3).I read the other two books last year and they were really entertaining and I really enjoyed them. I have this one for review and I am really excited to see where the characters end up in the final book in the series. 








Number 3: Undivided by Neal Shusterman 

 UnDivided (Unwind, #4)I really enjoyed the first three books in this series so I can't wait for the other books in the series and where the characters end up. This will definitely be on that I pick up soon as I really, really want to read it. 








Number 2: The Last Star by Rick Yancey 

 The Last Star (The 5th Wave, #3)This one has not been released yet however I am a fan of the 5th Wave series so I really want to read this one when it comes out. The thing will dystopia is you never know which characters will die and what is going to happen. Just finger crossed no one I like dies. 







Number 1: Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder 

Fire Study (Study, #3)I have been reading this series for the longest time and I really want to finish it as I enjoy it. However it has been about 2 years since I read this book and I just need to finish this series really soon.

Writers Block

With blogging and writing, I am normally quite good with coming up with ideas to talk about, but recently this has not been the case. I keep thinking that I am through and worst of it but at the same time it seems like I have only go on a week to week basis. The reviews are always coming but in the wake of doing weekly content for the majority of the year so far, the inspiration pool has become dry. Although I have ideas for stories and creative writing, with my blog content, I always want to talk about something that I care about. Whether that be something personal or an issue that I see in the wider community, but for some reason, this has become increasingly hard. I would be lying if I said that at the current moment I was involved in the book community and the ideas that are floating around so I don't feel like I can comment on any issues. Although I do want to say that the Anti-Asian and Antisemitism conversations with Jay Kristoff and Emily Duncan are not authors that I wi...

Wreck This Journal #1

Since the summer I have had a Wreck This Journal after Penguin Platform introduced the "#wreckthissummer" competition. This allowed me to explore the activities in the Wreck This Journal and I found out that I really liked doing it. After the summer, I neglected the jo urnal but in the last couple of weeks I found that I have definitely been more excited to complete it. I thought that because I liked doing it that I would update my progress of the journal although it is a work in progress. If you do not like this post, please let me know in the comments below and I know not to do another one again. So let's get started... The Cover: Being a journal, I thought that I would add album covers because they give a sense of the music that I like. Also I thought it would really tumblr and I like that... The inside page:  I think one of the tasks was to do something with this page so I tried to made it like the outside cover by the line paper and sticking t...

Blog Tour: Q and A with Lucy Adlington (The Red Ribbon)

So today is my day on The Red Ribbon book tour which gets released today and I get to have a Q and A with Lucy Adlington but first here is a little about the book: Book Summary from Goodreads : Rose, Ella, Marta and Carla. In another life we might have all been friends together. But this was Birchwood.  As fourteen-year-old Ella begins her first day at work she steps into a world of silks, seams, scissors, pins, hems and trimmings. She is a dressmaker, but this is no ordinary sewing workshop. Hers are no ordinary clients. Ella has joined the seamstresses of Birkenau-Auschwitz.  Every dress she makes could be the difference between life and death. And this place is all about survival.  Ella seeks refuge from this reality, and from haunting memories, in her work and in the world of fashion and fabrics. She is faced with painful decisions about how far she is prepared to go to survive.  Is her love of clothes and creativity nothing more than coll...
