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

Book Review: S. T. A. G. S. by M. A. Bennett

Title: S. T. A. G. S. Author: M. A. Bennett  Publisher: Hot Key Books Source: Bought Myself Rating: 4/5 stars ( Amazon | Goodreads ) Book Summary: Nine students. Three bloodsports. One deadly weekend.

Just when she despairs of making friends Greer receives a mysterious invitation with three words embossed upon on it: huntin' shootin' fishin'. When Greer learns that the invitation is to spend the half term weekend at the country manor of Henry de Warlencourt, the most popular and wealthy boy at S.T.A.G.S., she is as surprised as she is flattered.

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 ...

Dealing with Embarrassing Moments

Having anxiety doesn't lend itself to embarrassing moments. Instead of saying fuck it and moving on, our mind decides to let the memories stay and linger. Replaying themselves again. And again. And again until we start to go a little crazy. Today has been that day. First there was the answer that I couldn't give in class. Then the fact that I accidentally fell into a couple of people on the tube. At rush hour. There have been some good things. I met Hank Green and didn't make a complete fool of myself and this was because a nice guy from Waterstones gave me the correct raffle ticket. (THANK YOU!) I mean I look terrified in the pictures but still... Anyway back to these embarrassing moments. I know and my head knows that I should forget them. That the moment should become a distant memory that I laugh about but instead I hear the echoes of laughter and shock and embarrassment plaguing my existence. My waking thoughts. I want their to a day. A good day where I can brush t...
