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: Sorrow and Starlight by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with The Zodiac Academy series (though in case you don’t read any further: it’s mostly love).

Book Review: Rule of the Aurora King by Nisha J. Tuli

January 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, and What I’m Loving Right Now
January felt like it lasted for five full years, but we’re finally through it now and in retrospect, it was a great month for reading. My little one is now into a more routine nap schedule and during these pauses (of which most are still on me), I’ve been propping up a book to read…

Book Series Review: The Elements of Cadence Duology by Rebecca Ross
Over the past year, I fell completely in love with Rebecca Ross’ writing through the Letters of Enchantment Duology. Iris and Roman might be one of my favourite fantasy couples ever, and I was keen to relive the feeling of seeing them come together once I’d finished the series. The Elements of Cadence duology was…
