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!

⭐️ BOOK REVIEW!! ⭐️ . Did you know that when people are interested in you or excited their pupils will dilate? It’s actually one of the only facial reactions we can’t control, which is why poker players wear sunglasses. When they get a good hand of cards, their eyes can’t lie! Crazy, huh?! . . The Art of Reading Minds is absolutely brimming with interesting info on how to read people. It talks about how to establish rapport with strangers so that they end up feeling like you’re best friends. It also teaches you how to read body language—down to the direction a person moves her eyes or how she crosses her legs—so that you can actually know what a person is thinking and feeling (sometimes even before they do!) Such a fascinating read, and I learned a lot. This one got four stars from me! . . #bookreview #theartofreadingminds #telepathy #knowthyself #peopleskills #bookworm #booknerd #nonfictionbooks #readforfun #alwayslearning #bookstagrammer #bookshelf #currentlyreading #readersofinstagram

To audible or not to audible, that is the question. I’m listening to my very first #audiobook—the audio version of #notesonanervousplanet by #matthaig—and I keep having to revert back to my print copy. I like Haig’s voice, and I like the tempo I have it set at, but sometimes I feel my mind either wandering or getting overwhelmed by the sheer input of sound. 🤷🏼‍♀️ . I dunno, do you guys listen to audiobooks? Or do you stick to the good ol’ written word? Which format do you prefer? . . #printbook #librarybook #ebook #bookblogger #alwaysreading #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #booksharks #bookclub #homelibrary #currentlyreading #selfhelp #personalgrowth #teachme #readme #somanybooks

I am so insanely jealous of anyone who got this book as an arc. I basically ran to @the_book_stall yesterday to buy a copy for myself. I’m in love with @aliwong and I can’t wait to start reading #deargirls 💕 Has anyone else read it? Thoughts??? . . #currentlyreading #alwaysreading #booknerd #justpublished #pubday #comedian #booksandplants #memoir #humorbooks #bookstore #readlocal #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #booksharks

Some of my favorite hardbacks finally found a home. Well, at least for now. Anyone else rearrange their bookshelves...like...constantly...? 😬 Somehow displaying my books “just right” is always a work in progress. I do like to keep a neat space, but I also think the act of picking up the books, remembering the stories and why I loved them, is just so comforting. There’s no way I’m alone in this, right?! . . #bookobsessed #bookblogger #bookstagram #hardbackbooks #fictionfan #fictionbooks #instareader #bookstagrammer #bookshelf #shelfie #shefies #bookporn #readersofinstagram
