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...

A Small Change

Hi everyone, 

 It's so weird to write this because I was sure that I would keep up with the blog posts but I spent the majority of January witing my essays and starting my Research Project/Dissertation so that didn't happen. This is also why I didn't complete all the posts for my 12 or more days of Blogmas because I didn't have time although I did actually do 12 so that's something. 

 I have been taking this time to reflect on what I post and this was something that I think I mentioned before but I mean it this time. 

 Even though books and book reviews are a massive part of my life and this blog for almost 5 years and this is by no means going away, I want to change this up a little bit. 

 Like me as a person, I am not the same as I was 5 years ago and it's strange because I think that this is going to be a massive change in my life and that is something that I feel like it I would like to talk about so it's not just in my brain. 

 So expect more of that and of course everything about the books that I read because a lot of my reading is definitely backlist now and I would like to chat about this. 

 I just want to chat about what I like so hopefully it will just be a small change but I don't really know what it is going to be yet so stay tuned...

 On another note, there is another small change and I got a new blog banner which I really love so...

 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...
