My Lady’s Choosing (★★★★★)

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, and memoir, with a few cookbooks and gardening books thrown in the mix.

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

Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading!

Just enough #librarybooks I think…

150 days friends. 150 DAYS. That’s five months of clean and sober living. No alcohol, no anxiety medication, no weed. It feels like a pretty big milestone honestly. It also…doesn’t. It feels like a right choice for me right now. Will I ever drink, etc., again? Who knows. I don’t think the answer even matters that much. All I’m thinking about is today. Today is all there is.

I loved MALIBU RISING so hard. I grew up in California and spent many a day at the beach. I remember those long summer days of driving the winding 17 into Santa Cruz to sit on the warm sand and run in the waves. This book (obviously) takes place in Malibu, but Pacific coast beaches are Pacific coast beaches. And surf life is surf life. @tjenkinsreid does such a good job of creating setting and atmosphere. It’s perfection.

Oh the glory that is May in #chicago 🙌 So many beautiful #plants. Starting with one of my favorite pics I’ve ever taken honestly, an #orangepoppy 🌼 Then #calycanthus, a #rose, the inside of a Red Jade #crabapple, #epimedium, another rose, #ferns, more roses, and the last pic is from a workday planting sweet alyssum. I’m feeling pretty grateful these days. Every chance I get to step outside and work in the yard until I have no more thoughts in my head is #solidgold imo.
