At Forests and Fiction, I write about books (and other things) that I love
In 2021 I began reading for pleasure again for the first time in a decade. What started as a passive hobby is now a full-fledged passion.
Reading is a wonderful release for me that opens so many worlds and possibilities. Forests and Fiction serves as a place to celebrate this passion alongside the other things that bring joy in my life as well.

June 2026 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, What I’m Loving
We are now officially in deep summer in Atlantic Canada and I could not be happier about it. Days spent outside in the sun, letting baby girl run around through the grass until her heart’s content, and barbecuing every single meal is my idea of a good time.

Book Review: The Knight and The Moth by Rachel Gillig
