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.

This book blew me away with stunningly gorgeous writing, a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance that had my heart absolutely aching, and a setting that felt magical and surreal, yet somehow also totally realistic. I’d seen a lot of hype about this book before I picked…

Book Review: Witch King by Martha Wells
Witch King was the May Illumicrate featured book and beyond being gorgeous, with sprayed edges and stunning artwork, the story itself was a beautiful mix of political intrigue, a mysterious murder, and a group of loveable, memorable characters.
