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...

Most Anticipated Reads of 2018

There are some great books coming out in 2018 and I thought that I would mention 5 that I am really excited about. These are in no particular order so let get started...

1. Floored by Sara Barnard, Holly BourneTanya ByrneNon PrattMelinda SalisburyLisa Williamson, Eleanor Wood

I am so excited for this book! I got to read a sampler at YALC and this was definitely one of my favourites. I found the plot to be interesting and I can't wait to see where it goes. The authors aren't telling us who writes who which makes it even more intriguing. I just have to wait until July... 

2. As yet titled Book by Alice Oseman

I have been a fan of Alice's for the longest time and I love both of her books that she has released so far. I am therefore excited about Alice's new release which states that it is being released in January but I don't think that this is the case. I am excited about it whenever it will come out.

3. Second Best Friend by Non Pratt


Second Best Friend
As I have mentioned before Non Pratt is one of my favourite authors and I just can't wait to read this short story. It comes out in January so the only consolation is that I don't have to wait too long. 














4. Clean by Juno Dawson

CleanAgain I really love Juno's work and after reading the sampler at YALC I am really excited to get the whole book. I only have to wait until April so...
















5. Purple Hearts by Michael Grant


Purple Hearts (The Front Lines #3)
I love the Solider Girls series so I can't wait for the final book to get released which I think comes out in January. I do have an early copy of this one but I don't think I will get to it before then so it is on the list.













What books are you most excited for in 2018? 

See you soon,

Amy

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...

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...
