WELCOME!

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.

    Book Review: Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner

    The Fallen Gods trilogy by Hannah Kaner is becoming a fast favourite for me. The first book I picked up on a bit of a whim and ended up adoring, and this second instalment built nicely on that premise. This one felt a little broodier and a little darker, and it also took some genuinely…

    Book Review: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

    One of my goals for 2026 was to read more diversely and pick some books from my TBR that expanded the genres I was exposed to. I’ve had Fredrik Backman on my must-read list for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve actually prioritized picking one of his books up. I’m now…

    Book Review: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

    I’ve been hearing good things about Andy Weir and his writing for years. While I hadn’t read anything by him yet, I have watched The Martian at least five times and as a result, was fairly confident I was going to enjoy his writing. I’m happy to report that my predictions were correct.

    Book Review: Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross

    I loved the Letters of Enchantment duology by Rebecca Ross, so when I heard she was releasing a new standalone novel set within the same world, I knew I’d need to pick it up immediately. While my expectations for this one were high, Ross somehow still managed to blow me away.
