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...

Wildest Dreams Book Box Trial Unboxing

So yesterday I received the Wildest Dreams Box which I purchased in October. I have always been interested in Book Subscription Boxes and have only got one before being the October Fairyloot box but have always wanted to find a cheaper alternative. And BAM. Wildest Dreams Box is created and I got the first box which was a trial and the theme is Best of YA 2017!

Wildest Dreams is a UK based Subscription service that costly £18 including shipping and includes a new release book, a tea based on the book as well as a bath related product. To find out more click here.

So on to the unboxing! This obviously has spoilers...

The tea:

The tea is Chocolate Orange which is based on After The Fire by Will Hill which is a book that I have heard amazing things about and can't wait to read! The tea itself smells amazing and is a nice blend of tea which I really liked especially as I am not a tea lover. It also comes with some tea bags which is really cool as I don't have a tea strainer. 

The bath bomb:

The bath bomb is a Sorting Hat bath bomb which I was really excited about when I saw it because I have wanted one for the longest time. I just hope that it turns yellow. Not green because I am really not a Slytherin.

The Extras:

The box also contains a bookmark which is signed by the author which is really exciting. The bookmark is for Book of Fire and there was also a postcard. This is a book that has been on my radar for a while and I want to check out. There was also a chocolate eye in the box which I ate pretty quickly after opening the box. 

Finally...

The book:

The book was The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed. I have heard amazing things about this book and am generally really excited to read it! I am just happy that it is a book that I don't already have and want to read. The book also came with a note from the author which was a really nice touch. 

The Verdict:

Wildest Dreams is really good book subscription box that is great value for money and I can't wait to get more.

Here is a lovely picture of what is included...





The theme for next month is Into The Jungle and I think I know which book is included and I am excited about it!

Did you get the Wildest Dreams box? Would you like to?

See you soon, 

Amy

One deadly weekend. It is the autumn term and Greer MacDonald is struggling to settle into the sixth form at the exclusive St. Aidan the Great boarding school, known to its privileged pupils as S.T.A.G.S. 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. But when Greer joins the other chosen few at the ancient and sprawling Longcross Hall, she realises that Henry's parents are not at home; the only adults present are a cohort of eerily compliant servants.

* I have received this book for review from Readers First but this in no way affects my review * Title: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares Author: Krystal Sutherland Source: From Readers First Publisher: Hot Key Books Rating: 5/5 stars ( Goodreads | Amazon ) Book Summary from Goodreads: Ever since Esther Solar's grandfather was cursed by Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime.
