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.

    I read the first book in this series, Wielder’s Prize, as an ARC from Net Galley and enjoyed it, so when I felt like I needed something short and spicy to break up the larger books I’ve been reading lately, Wielder’s Bond seemed like the perfect choice.

    Book Review: Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty

    I had seen someone speak about Think Like a Monk in a way that described their experience with the content as transformational. I love a good non-fiction memoir, so I reserved this one at my library and consumed it on audiobook. I was pleasantly surprised with how enjoyable this book was. While I didn’t necessarily…
