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: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
Remarkably Bright Creatures presents a really weird premise: a story told, in part, from the perspective of an octopus at a local aquarium. The premise is so odd that I never would have guessed that it would be one of the most heartfelt stories that I’d read this year.

I’ve seen the Once Upon a Broken Heart series all over bookstagram, so not long ago I decided to give it a try. I enjoyed the first book but found that it felt very young adult-oriented (which it is, so this isn’t a criticism, just a fact). I wasn’t initially sure I was going to…

Book Review: Glow by Raven Kennedy
Raven Kennedy is the queen of the plot twist. Before starting this series, I’d been warned that there was at least one major twist in each book, but regardless, each time it hits me, I’m reeling from the shock of it all. There was so much to love about Glow (the fourth installment in the…
