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 Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

    A Court of Mist and Fury might be my favourite book in the whole A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series. So many of the elements of ACOTAR that either didn’t sit well with me or I was unsure about are explained in this book, and once you start to see where Maas is…
