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.

Books are the way to new worlds.
They allow us to experience anything
And everything that we want to do in the world.
They are the way to worlds that we didn't even know existed
But we don't know what to do without.
Allow us to open doors in this world
That change us, make us learn,
Allow us to know that anything is possible
If only we believe.
Books are escapism when we need them the most.
Books can change our lives, for better.
Books make us better people.
They made us, well us.
Here are the books that made me...
Book One: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
This book opened the door to a new world that I didn't know existent. It opened the door to YA and I haven't looked back...
Book Two: Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison
This book opened the door to a world I already knew existent but not in fiction. It taught me that life can be messy and embarrassing and that that's OK and the female friendships rule!
Book Three: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
This book opened the door to a world of fun and fans and films. It changed my life and stained my heart, I would not be the same person without this book.
Book Four: Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
This book illustrates that sometimes you make mistakes and that you have the chance to correct them. That to kind is always the best route.
Book Five: The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
This book opened a door to a magical land of witches, wizards, dragons and everything that my imaginations wanted and I haven't left since.
Book Six: Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne
This book opened my mind and told me that it's OK not to be normal and that what is going on in your brain is as important as what goes on the inside.
Book Seven: All Of The Above by Juno Dawson
This book was the first time that I saw a part of myself in a book and showed me how important representations is.
Book Eight: Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
This book taught me that sometimes university can be shit and that's OK and that friendship will always help you through it.
So this was a different kind of post and was inspired by the YALC of the same name. I had fun writing this post as I have definitely been feeling in a writing mood the last couple of days.
I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you soon,
Amy
