I have a site with a blog and using an embed code:
<embed src="https://www.timeout.com/london/things-to-do/the-best-life-drawing-classes-in-london" style="width:500px; height: 300px;"</embed>
This works fine. But when I try:
<embed src="http://anyamountofbooks.com" style="width:500px; height: 300px;"</embed>
It doesn't work.
The site exists but, when I view the page on my blog, it says, 'this site may be down.

Typically you'll want to use an <iframe>
instead of <embed>
to display HTML content. Take a look at this answer for some more in depth analysis. Now to the root of your problem.
If you're embedding external content into your site (such as by iframe/embed), you'll need to make sure that the protocols match:
The http://anyamountofbooks.com website doesn't appear to have a valid SSL certificate, so you won't be able to frame it if your website is secured and accessed through https://.
The other thing to consider is that some websites don't allow themselves to be embedded, here's on article on a couple ways to do it. The website you're trying to embed may employ one of those practices to prevent itself from being embedded.
