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: 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
The Daevabad Trilogy is one of my favourite series of all-time, so when I heard that Chakraborty had released a fourth and final book with additional stories from Daevabad, I immediately ordered it, and it did not disappoint. This book was quick, but provided a lot of never-before-seen details to side-characters that I felt gave…

We had kids’ birthday parties, work events, family emergencies, house issues; you name it, we had it going on. With all the chaos that was our lives though,…

Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
I absolutely LOVED the Shadow and Bone series, and ever since I devoured that trilogy, I’ve wanted to pick up the Six of Crows duology. I was a little worried it wouldn’t live up to my expectations for the Grishaverse, but I needn’t have been concerned, because I might like Six of Crows even more…

Book Review: Drums of Autumn (Outlander #4) by Diana Gabaldon
The Outlander book series has become one of my favourites. I’m exceptionally late to the game, with Drums of Autumn having been originally released in 1997, but because of the time-travelling nature of the books, I never find that I feel like I’m reading something out of date.

Book Review: Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
Yellowface was a fever dream of a book. It was a wild ride that for the entire time I was reading I couldn’t look away from. R.F. Kuang is a well-known master of fantasy, but I had no idea what to expect from her in her first foray into contemporary fiction. I’m now wholly convinced…
