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: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
Fourth Wing is my favourite read of 2023 so far. I’m always a little hesitant when it comes to a book that’s been hyped up as much as this one has, but I quickly found that the hype was 100% warranted.

Book Review: Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci
I’ve always enjoyed seeing Stanley Tucci act, but his recent forays into food through his series Searching for Italy are what made me fall in love with him. He’s so passionate about his heritage, about food, and about the connections between the two that I found the show not only fascinating and informative but entertaining…

Book Review: The River of Silver by S.A. Chakraborty
