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...

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under My Trees This Year

It's Tuesday which means that it is time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's topic is top ten books I wouldn't mind Santa leaving under my trees this year. The Top Ten Tuesday feature was created by The Broke and the Bookish and more about it can be found here. Let's get started...

Number 10: It's Kind of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini 

 It's Kind of a Funny StoryI have been so tempted by this books on so many times and would love to receive it for Christmas, if not next year!









Number 9: Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas 

 Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4)I really want to marathon the rest of the ToG series next year so having the fourth book would be good and I really want to catch up to the hype. 








Number 8: Mosquitoland by David Arnold 

 MosquitolandI have had my eye on this book for a while so would really like this for Christmas. 









Number 7: Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin 

 Wolf By Wolf (Wolf By Wolf, #1)This book has been getting some hype for sometime and I sounds really interesting and a book that I really want to read. 








Number 6: Life And Death by Stephenie Meyer

 Life and Death: Twilight ReimaginedI know this has been getting some bad reviews but I feel like I need to read this for myself and it would therefore make a good Christmas present!








Number 5: Champion/ The Young Elites by Marie Lu

 Champion (Legend, #3)I really want to finish the Legend trilogy in 2016 so I would really like Champion for Christmas so I can finish it. The Young Elites has also been been getting some good reviews and I would also love to read this one and get it for Christmas. 






Number 4: Harry Potter Illustrated by J.K. Rowling 

 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)I really want to reread Harry Potter and my edition is kind of unreadable because it is so old and I would really love to read it in the new edition.









Number 3: Just One Year by Gayle Foreman 

 Just One Year (Just One Day, #2)I read Just One Day and I really enjoyed it so I would love the sequel for Christmas as I really want to finish the series and see where it goes.  








Number 2: Rogue/ The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa 
Rogue (Talon #2)Julie Kagawa is one of my favourite authors and I am yet to read both Rogue and the Iron Traitor so I would really like these two books for Christmas!!!








Number 1: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)One of the reasons that I really want for Christmas is the original cover of City of Bones as I have an old cover of this book and the movie cover but don't have the one that matches my others. This is also at the top because I know I am getting this book for Christmas. 







What books do you want for Christmas? Leave them in the comments below.

 See you soon, 

 Amy

Book Review: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares by Krystal Sutherland

* 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. Esther's father is agoraphobic and hasn't left the basement in six years, her twin brother can t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck. The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.  Esther doesn't know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces, and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen oth...

Relighting My Fire (Part 1/3)

*This was written in October and is a series of three blog posts that I am publishing together. The thoughts in these blog posts may not affect how I am feeling now and it is safe to say that I do feel mentally better than I once did.* To be honest, this is the first time I've truly written something in months. It sucks. Like really  sucks but I don't think that I can do it if I don't really love it. So why now? Well, somethings changed. I have that spark again. My fire has been relit. This feels good again. Writing feels good again. I think another reason was that I finally have the motivation to do it again. Not for anyone else  but me. Because that is who I should write for. Me. Who you might be asking why I have been gone? Why have I not written anything in months? Well, that's a hard question and all I can say is that it is complicated. I wasn't OK and I for the  most part I am and when you feel like that writing something even a simple text ...
