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.

I’ll admit it: typically I wouldn’t say I like thrillers. It’s 100% a personal preference thing because for me, feeling super anxious and stressed while I’m reading is not my idea of a good time.

Book Review: The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
You know that feeling when you pick up a book and you can tell within the first chapter that it’s going to become an all-time favourite? That’s how I felt about The Bone Season.

Book Review: The Wicked King by Holly Black
This series is quickly becoming one of my favourite young adult fantasies.
