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...

Halloween Creatures 2.0 Book Tag

As Halloween is less than a week ago, I wanted to get in the spirit. A few weeks ago I was tagged by Laurie's Bookshelf to do this Halloween Creatures 2.0 Book Tag so here it is!

It was created by Keep Reading Forward so check out their blog to see the original!

 But first the rules...

• Answer all prompts.
• Answer honestly.
• Tag 1-13 people.
• Link back to this post.
• Remember to credit the creator.
• Have fun!
 Let's get started...
Witch

A Magical Character or Book.
So an obvious one but the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowing. I don't think anyone needs convincing to read this series!
Werewolf
The Perfect Book to Read at Night.
Ascension by Victor Dixen because you will want to stay up all night to read it and you have all the time to do so...
Frankenstein

A Book that Truly Shocked You.
Can I say, Frankenstein? I think I can. So obviously it's Halloween next week and everyone thinks that Frankenstein is something totally different from what it actually is. (In the best way) It's one of my favourite books so I clearly loved it. I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't. 
The Devil

A Dark, Evil Character.

Laurie's answer was the Darkling and I definitely agree. He was so evil and loads of people love him but I just don't get the hype. 
Grim Reaper

A Character that Should Never Have Died.

Where do I start with this question? Like literally where? Lupin. Sirius. Fred. There is probably loads more but I have just suppressed them.  
Zombie

A Book that Made You “Hungry” for More.

Scythe by Neal Shusterman. I want to know what happens next but I have so many books to get to. Thunderhead will have to wait...
Gargoyle

A Character that You Would Protect at All Cost.

Blue or Simon from Simon Vs. Or any character from Becky Albertalli's books basically. 
Vampire

A Book that Sucked the Life Out of You.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I didn't like this one. Sorry...
Ghost

A Book that Still Haunts You.

Unwind by Neal Shusterman because of that one scene. If you have read it, you KNOW!
Demon

A Book that Really Scared You.
Unwind again because it might actually happen in real life and I will be done if that happens...
Skeleton

A Character You Have a Bone to Pick With.

Gale from The Hunger Games series. I just don't like him.
Mummy

A Book You Would Preserve Throughout Time.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins *Mockingjay tune in the background*
Image result for electric dreams book coverCreepy Doll

A Cover too Scary to Look At.

Not scary just weird but the Electric Dreams cover...


The Monster Mash

It’s Fun to Be with Friends on Halloween!

Tag Your Friends!
I tag...
Rachel from RacheLeanne
Thank you for reading! 
Are you doing anything for Halloween? If you want to do the tag feel free to do so! 
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...

Three Hallows April Blog Post: Girls With Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young Book Review

*I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free by Simon Pulse in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: Girls With Sharp Sticks Author: Suzanne Young Publisher: Simon Pulse Source: Bought Myself/NetGalley  Rating: 5/5 stars ( Amazon | Goodreads ) Book Summary: The Girls of Innovations Academy are beautiful and well-behaved—it says so on their report cards.

Disfigured and Disability: My Story

So I don't really mention it online but I have a disability.  Due to complications at birth, I developed a type of cerebral palsy called left-sided hemiplegia, which is a weakness that affects the left side of my body, especially my left hand. I don't have it severely and my condition is a lot better than some people.  Because of this, I don't really mention that much. For much of my life, I have tried to hide my disability because I always compared myself to others. A lot of the time, I didn't identify with the label. My condition and I have a complicated relationship.  That is until I read Disfigured by Amanda Leduc.  OK. I'm not going to say that this book changed my life and the way that I explored my own disability but it illustrated so much of what I felt in my brain.  I have grown up not really having someone to look to up in terms of my disability. No one I knew had the same condition as me until I was 17 and one of my sister's friend had it. This is str...
