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 Futuristic Books I Love

It's Tuesday which means that it is time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's topic is ten futuristic books I love. 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: Angelfall by Susan Ee

Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, #1)So this book has a lot of hype but I could not, not mention this book on this list. It is amazing in a creepy way and the story is really interesting combining both angels in a dystopian setting. The story is so good and I highly recommend it.   









Number 9: Unwind by Neal Shusterman 

Unwind (Unwind, #1)I think out of all the books mentioned on the list, this one is the most frightening by how real it can actually be. The book focuses on teenagers who can be unwound for extra parts. It follows characters that this can happen to and how they rebel. This is definitely one of my favourites.









Number 8: Blood Red Road by Moira Young 

Blood Red Road (Dust Lands, #1)This book can be describes as a western set in the future which is a fast-paced read which is definitely one of my favourites which I highly recommend. 











Number 7: The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa

The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1)This book is set in the future when humans are of lower rank to vampires and are seen as blood cattle. It is an interesting read that is amazing and you should read it. I mean dystopia and vampires need I say more... 









Number 6: How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff 

How I Live NowSo this book is set in England as if they were in WWIII so it is really interesting. The writing is different in a good way and it is a book that you will fly through. The characters are ones that you will love and want to succeed throughout the course of the novel. 









Number 5: Cinder by Marissa Meyer

Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1)OK so this is a fairytale retelling but it is set in the future so it counts. This is just an amazing series with characters that you will fall in love with and that is good with intertwining the retelling in a scientific setting.   










Number 4: The Host by Stephenie Meyer

The Host (The Host, #1)You shouldn't judge this book by it's author! Just because this was written by the author of Twilight does not mean it is bad, it fact it is really good. Like really good especially for an alien book. It encompasses aliens and romance and is a good read.  









Number 3: Divergent by Veronica Roth 

Divergent (Divergent, #1)How could I not mention this one. It is a great book regardless of your views on a rest of the series and it should definitely be read by many of you if you haven't read this yet. Also don't judge this book on it's adaptation. 










Number 2: The Maze Runner by James Dashner

The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1)This one may be controversial one as I know that a lot of people dislike this book but for me it is a favourite. I love the diversity of characters and I love where the story goes. I also like that the story has limited romance so yeah... I also love James Dashner as an author so...









Number 1: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)What a shock that this is at the top of my list. The Hunger Games is one of my favourite books of all time and was the one book to got me into this genre so of course it is on this list. If you haven't read it yet, I promise you will not regret it.

Three Hallows April Blog Post: Girls With Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young Book Review

*I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free by Simon Pulse in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: Girls With Sharp Sticks Author: Suzanne Young Publisher: Simon Pulse Source: Bought Myself/NetGalley  Rating: 5/5 stars ( Amazon | Goodreads ) Book Summary: The Girls of Innovations Academy are beautiful and well-behaved—it says so on their report cards. Under the watchful gaze of their Guardians, the all-girl boarding school offers an array of studies and activities, from “Growing a Beautiful and Prosperous Garden” to “Art Appreciation” and “Interior Design.” The girls learn to be the best society has to offer.

Disfigured and Disability: My Story

So I don't really mention it online but I have a disability.  Due to complications at birth, I developed a type of cerebral palsy called left-sided hemiplegia, which is a weakness that affects the left side of my body, especially my left hand. I don't have it severely and my condition is a lot better than some people.  Because of this, I don't really mention that much. For much of my life, I have tried to hide my disability because I always compared myself to others. A lot of the time, I didn't identify with the label. My condition and I have a complicated relationship.  That is until I read Disfigured by Amanda Leduc.  OK. I'm not going to say that this book changed my life and the way that I explored my own disability but it illustrated so much of what I felt in my brain.  I have grown up not really having someone to look to up in terms of my disability. No one I knew had the same condition as me until I was 17 and one of my sister's friend had it. This is str...
