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: These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan
I was hesitant about buying These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan, despite the amazing things I’d heard. The tropes all sounded like things I’d enjoy, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to pull the trigger and buy a physical copy right away.

Book Review: People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry
I’m typically not much of a romance reader, but Emily Henry has my heart. This is my second novel of hers and I loved it even more than the first. People We Meet On Vacation was beautifully executed, balancing romance and comedy perfectly. I laughed, I cried, it hit me right in the feels and…

Book Review: Ruthless Fae (Zodiac Academy 2) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

The characters can be a little over the top and the plot takes some wild twists and turns which make for extremely…
