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!

Just finishing up There There, and wow, it’s been a ride. Looking forward to a buddy read discussion later in the week. . . Also, can I just say I’m loving my new personalized notebook from @papersource 🐞 I’m not a diehard bug fan, but I pretty much love anything decorated in rainbow colors. 🤗 (I’m that annoying person who hangs up multicolored Christmas lights EVERYWHERE starting the day after thanksgiving. Guys, I’m white trash. 🤷🏼‍♀️) . . #booknerd #currentlyreading📖 #bookedup #readmore #bookstack #alwaysreading #takenote #booksharks #bookstabuddies📚 #bookclub #buddyread #readersofinsta #igbooks #christmaslights #bookworm #readingtime📖 #goodbooks #favoritefiction

I can’t tell you how excited I am to read AND THEN WE GREW UP, a book about finding and using (and maybe sometimes not using...) your creative voice. I’ve heard it compared to Elizabeth Gilbert’s BIG MAGIC, and I LOVED that book, so I am really looking forward to diving right in! . Did you play an instrument when you were young? Did you enjoy practicing, and do you still play? . Author Rachel Friedman wonders what her life could have been like if she had stuck with playing the violin. She decides to interview some of her classmates from art school to see if they are still pursuing their creative dreams or if have taken their lives in completely different directions. . . #bookstabuddies📚 #readmore #bookshelves #bookstagram #womenwhowrite #womenwriters #shereads #booksharks #bookclub #booksforartists #currentlyreading #allbookedup #weekendbook #bookvibes #andthenwegrewup #penguin #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #bigmagic #creativity #booknerd #booklover #instabook

I never knew marijuana could be so classy! 😎 I don’t know that I’ll actually add canna-infused fats and sugars to my recipes when pot becomes legal in Illinois at the start of the new year, but boy this cookbook sure makes it tempting. There are all kinds of sweet (and sometimes savory) treats in here, with a full write-up in the intro about benefits and, ahem, proper serving size. Such a beautiful and unique book—though I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more like it... 😍 5 ⭐️s from me! . . #cannabiscooking #smallbites #cookbooks #booklover #relax #bookstagram #booksharks #bookworm #booknerd #edibles #moderncannabis #instabook #happybirthdaytome #idratherbereading #currentlyreading #alwaysreading #cannabisinthekitchen #bookstabuddies📚 #marijuana #chroniclebooks

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
