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.

    Red Rising has been on my TBR for ages and I’m kicking myself for not starting it sooner. Set on a futuristic version of Mars, in a solar system where planets have been conquered by humans, this book had a plot that sucked me in immediately and had characters that were gorgeously layered with complexities…
