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: All This And More by Peng Shepherd
All This And More has been on my TBR since it was released partly because of the unique premise and choose-your-own-adventure style, but also because I was such a big fan of The Cartographers, another novel by Shepherd. I loved the uniqueness of that story and felt like Shepherd’s writing style was really enjoyable, so…

Book Review: Network Effect by Martha Wells
The Murderbot Diaries are among some of my favourite sci-fi novels. They’re so witty and clever, while also offering thoughtful commentary and considerations on things like AI and the role it could play in society.
