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: A Master of Djinn by P. Djeli Clark
A Master of Djinn was a whirlwind of a surprise. I typically love fantasy novels with settings similar to this one so I knew I’d enjoy this book, but I didn’t expect the steampunk, murder mystery, detective-style approach to be so fun!

Book Review: Grimoire Girl by Hilarie Burton Morgan
When I was younger, I wasn’t really a One Tree Hill fan, so while I knew of Hilarie Burton Morgan, I can’t say that I knew much about her or what brought her to fame. That said, I did see a bookstagrammer that I adore post about how lovely Grimoire Girl was and when I…

Book Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
Like many, I was obsessed with The Hunger Games when I was younger.
