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: Bewitched by Laura Thalassa

    This book was super fun and a little ridiculous in a good way. Despite tackling some heavy topics, the overall tone didn’t feel heavy, and it was an enjoyable story to get lost in. I loved that it was available on Kindle Unlimited, and there were a lot of loose ends at the conclusion that…

    January 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, and What I’m Loving Right Now

    January felt like it lasted for five full years, but we’re finally through it now and in retrospect, it was a great month for reading. My little one is now into a more routine nap schedule and during these pauses (of which most are still on me), I’ve been propping up a book to read…

    Book Series Review: The Elements of Cadence Duology by Rebecca Ross

    Over the past year, I fell completely in love with Rebecca Ross’ writing through the Letters of Enchantment Duology. Iris and Roman might be one of my favourite fantasy couples ever, and I was keen to relive the feeling of seeing them come together once I’d finished the series.  The Elements of Cadence duology was…

    Book Review: The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon

    Whenever you dive into a new series and book one blows you away, there’s always some trepidation before you jump into the second book. Will it live up to the experience of the first? Could it possibly be as good?  The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon was my favourite book of 2024, so this was…

    Best Books Read in 2024

    2024 was a huge year for me, so it’s a challenge to reflect back to January when it feels like I’ve come so far. Heading into the year, I knew it would be a big one, but nothing quite prepared me for the seismic shifts that would take place.

  • Book Review: The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood

    Book Review: The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood

    I don’t read many romance novels because I find them hard to get invested in, so it means something when I say The Love of My Afterlife is one of my favourite romances ever. I loved the sound of the premise, which is that a woman meets her soulmate in the in-between after she’s passed…
