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, 

Amy

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...
