HOW IT GOT STARTED

Hello and welcome to my little corner of the Internet! I'm Amy and I'm a blogger.


It all started when I launched a blog to compliment my award winning student radio show 'Amy In The Studio'. When I left university, I continued to blog and worked with my sister to create AmyandEllen.com.

Ellen and I enjoyed blogging together for over 10 years, but we have decided to pursue our own writing interests.

Welcome to my first solo blog.

Here you can find my attempts to reconcile my life with the bible, sprinkled with film and book reviews, a few short stories and other musings.

Book Review: I Want To Go Home But I’m Already There by Róisín Lanigan

As you may be aware, I enjoy reading. (Quite the understatement). I like a bit of everything, but as genres go, I will always come back to horror. There is something about the horror genre that just lights up for me. It has a depth that only it’s fans can truly appreciate. You can have horror/sci-fi, horror/lit-fic, horror/romance.

Book Review: Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas

I am currently engaged in the #ReadingWithMuffy challenge for 2026. The challenge (which you can see the prompts below) for February is a book that starts with the letter l, o, v or e. I am trying to read books I already own to meet these challenges, so I looked through my Kindle app and my shelves and came up with a decent list of choices: Looking for Alaska by John Green Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree Of Mice and Men by John Steinbec

A Holiday in Book Reviews

A few weeks ago, we had our first holiday abroad since the pandemic started (and we hadn't been abroad since 2019 anyway). We decided to go to Nerja on the southern coast of Spain - my grandparents used to own a villa there and we were fortunate to enjoy family holidays there for the entirety of my childhood. When my grandad died, his wife decided to sell it, but we've continued to go back on occasion, though since Ellen moved to Canada we've been spending our holidays there.

Short Story: Something Sinister

I'm super duper proud of myself. I have been named the runner-up in a short story competition. Yes okay, it's a super minor competition...

Book review: Horrorstör

I decided not to make official New Year's Resolutions this year. I find that generally if I make them, I break them. It's the pressure. Like trying to answer 3 in 10 on Popmaster. I crumble under the trivia presh . The pressure is too much and I collapse. The one resolution I have ever kept, was to read a book a month. Personally, I think 2021 is going to be tough to handle without any pressure to do anything else, so I am just making an effort to read more. No pressure, just
