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. You can have body horror, supernatural horror, gory horror. It’s such a vast genre, and I love exploring it. I went to an event at Blackwell’s in

Book review: A Virgin River Christmas (Book 4)

In my last review in the Virgin River series, I said I would take a break from the predictable small town. I did - I started reading a couple of other books, but they didn't quite grab me in the same way as Virgin River did. They were tougher reads and I was struggling with them a bit, and I wanted to remind myself of my love of reading and thought I would smash through another Virgin River book to break out of the funk I'd accidentally got myself into. If you want to catch

Book review: Virgin River Whispering Rock (Book 3)

Here we are again! As you know if you read my review for book 2 (which you can find here , and book 1 is here ) you will know I was super keen to crack on. I really enjoyed book 1 and to a lesser extent book 2. I was invested in the characters and the small town where the story is set. Of course I cracked on with book 3, and unsurprisingly we're now in uncharted territory. The series on Netflix currently has only 2 series released, so it shouldn't be a surprise that the plot

Book review: Virgin River Shelter Mountain (Book 2)

I just couldn't help myself. I needed to know what happened to Jack and Mel, and so just ploughed straight on with the series and I devoured book 2 in the series in less than a week. There's not a lot of preamble here - I was just keen to crack on, based on how much I enjoyed the first book, and the aforementioned small town America chic that I just can't get enough of (we can add Shitt's Creek to the list now too!) If you missed my review of book 1 in the series - you can

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
