Welcome to Bug Bug!

I’m Lorilin, a stay-at-home mom in Chicago who reads books to stay sane. Even though I spend most of my day looking after my lovely and wild children, I always make time to read—mostly fiction, wellness, cookbooks, and lots of books on gardening.

Starting in 2019, I rate all books on a scale of one to five ladybugs, so my favorites will have these little cuties floating by the title 🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading!

It sure feels good to be known. 🥰 My kids bought me these books for my #birthday, because they know how much I love #plants. 🌱 Apparently they were really excited to go to the #gardening section at the #bookstore and even got mad at my husband when he was “taking too long” in the fiction section. 😂 Luckily they ended up bringing me back a little something from both. 😍 . So here’s what I want to know. What’s the best book you’ve ever received as a gift? (And would it be wrong to say that gifts to yourself count too? 😆) . . #bookgift #plantbooks #idratherbereading #currentlyreading #bookstabuddies📚 #readersofinstagram #booksharks #instabook #readmore #localbookstore #homelibrary #bookstagram #ig_books #bookworm #booknerd #mastergardener #plantlover #houseplants

Here’s my #coffeeandcurrentlyreading for the day! I’m stuck at an autism conference for eight hours today. I shouldn’t complain because I’m learning a lot, but man I’m so tired! I keep almost falling asleep in my chair. 😬 Finally got myself a coffee on my lunch break, so hopefully I can get through the final three hours! . . Also got a little reading time in with Christmas in Vermont. Has anyone read this one? I just started it, but I like it so far. I don’t care that it’s not even thanksgiving. Bring on the holiday books!!! 🎄 . . #bookstabuddies📚 #bookstagrammer #bookworm #alwaysreading #readlocal #wakeup #payattention #holidayfiction #fictionfan #womensfiction #bookclubsofinsta #instabook #coffeeandbooks #currentlyreading #bookblogger #instabook #anitahughes #stmartinspress

Just finished The Confession Club by #elizabethberg. I think this pic pretty much perfectly captures the feel of the book: cozy and warm, homey and comforting. It’s about a group of women who get together to talk about things they’ve done that make them feel ashamed or uneasy. Which sounds super heavy, but this is actually a really lighthearted and sweet read. It made me feel hopeful and happy. 🥰 Here’s one of my favorite quotes: . “Oh, they knew they were mostly silly. They enjoyed being silly, because sometimes you just needed to take a load off. For Pete’s sake. You just needed a little levity, and you needed to be on the right side of the yellow light shining out from the dining room window, you needed to be in that pocket of place where you were unequivocally welcome and could at any time slip right out of your shoes.” . . Out on 11/19! . . #bookstagrammer #bookstabuddies📚 #bookreview #theconfessionclub #fictionfan #bookclub #holidayreads #womensfiction #bibliophile #instabook #fireplacereading #alwaysreading #readersofinstagram #readersofig #readlocal #bookworm

Happy Friday everyone! 😃 Not only am I so happy that it’s almost the weekend, but I’m also super excited that today is my birthday. Turning 27 again for the first time! 🤪 I wish I could say that I’ll be relaxing and reading all day, but my kids have the day off from school because of teacher conferences, so it’s going to be the usual chaos at my house. I’m considering forcing them to make me snickerdoodles... 🤔 What will you be doing today? 🥳 . . #happybirthdaytome #bookblogger #booksharks #bookstabuddies📚 #ladieswhoread #bookishladiesclub #readsalot #bookstack #happyfriday #weekendvibes #idratherbereading #hardcovers #fictionbooks #instabook #bibliophile #bookish #readersofinstagram #readlocal #athomewithbooks #currentlyreading
