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...

Totally Didn't Book Tag


So I was browsing youtube question and I discovered the Totally Didn't Book Tag. This was created by ReadsLikeWildfire and seems really interesting so let's get started with the questions... 
1. Totally didn’t need to have a sequel/sequels.

Unwind (Unwind, #1)Unwind by Neal Shusterman- I absolutely love this series but the first book could be a stand-alone and I am pretty sure that it was meant to be. Saying this I will carry on reading this series so...











2. Totally didn’t need to have more than one point of view.

Allegiant (Divergent, #3)Allegiant by Veronica Roth- I mean do I need to say anymore, it just was not needed












3. Totally didn’t need to change cover art through the middle of a series.

Take Back the Skies (Take Back the Skies, #1)I don't think that this happens as much in the UK compared to the US but they did do it to the Take Back the Skies cover by Lucy Saxon and they didn't really have to. 











4. Totally didn’t need a love triangle.

Bloodlines (Bloodlines, #1)Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead- If you think about what happens in the Bloodlines series does there actually have to be a love triangle in Vampire Academy...











5. Totally didn’t need this book to be included in this series.

Sinner
Sinner by Maggie Stiefvater- Another book that I really enjoyed but was this book needed I don't really know. 











6. Totally didn’t need a cliffhanger.

Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2)
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins- This cliffhanger BROKE me, it so wasn't needed!!












7. Totally didn’t need to have just one point of view.

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins- Can you imagine this series having more than just Katniss's POV? How cool would that be!











8. Totally didn’t need that much hype.

Me and Earl and the Dying GirlMe and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews- This book was so hyped everywhere and I just didn't like it. I didn't really like Greg and if I don't like a male protag it normally lets the book down for me. 










9. Totally didn’t need a relative book reference. 

The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1)The Maze Runner by James Dashner- So when I picked up the Maze Runner it was described as "For fans of The Hunger Games." At this time, this made me pick up the book but I think that we can all agree that it has become its own thing. 










10. Totally didn’t deserve my time.

Why We Broke UpWhy We Broke Up by Daniel Handler- I spent sooooooo much time reading this book and didn't even like this book. I was reading it the whole time just going WHY????











Have you done this tag? What would your answers be to this tag? Leave them in the comments below.

See you soon,

Mid Year Freakout Book Tag

So everyone seems to be doing this tag on Youtube this year so therefore I really wanted to do it and I've done it twice before but a long time ago. I am also finally doing this at the right time so this is good for me but I have already read over 100 books this year so there is a lot of choices to pick from!  This tag was created by ReadLikeWildFire (now Chami although the original video is no longer available for both) and  Ely Jayne . Let's get started... 1. Best book you've read this year so far? I actually have quite a few so it was hard to pick just one but one the basis that I want m ore people to read it, Deeplight by Frances Hardinge . This book is so special in the way that it deals with male characters and deafness as well as toxic friendships. I read it super quickly an highly recommend the audiobook and her writing is just amazing.  2. Best sequel you've read this year so far Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo or The Ask and The Answer by Pa...

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

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...
