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

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...
