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!

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

You know when you start a super popular book and you think to yourself, this thing CAN’T POSSIBLY live up to all the hype? Well, that’s what I was thinking when I started reading #thewaterdancer but I ended up falling IN LOVE with this book. . . The writing is beautiful, the characters are so well developed, but the story itself—the meticulous and magical development of time and place—blew me away. I was right there, with those enslaved mothers who were sold and separated from their sons, with the brothers and sisters murdered at a whim of their masters. It broke my heart, but, incredibly, it was still an uplifting story! I finished the book and felt hopeful that good can eventually win. Even when the world is so bleak, you have to keep on fighting. . . I gave this one ALL the stars. Has anyone else read it? I’d love to hear your thoughts! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . . #bookreview #booknerd #readersofinstagram #booklover #booksharks #alwaysreading #bookbug #instabook #shefie #newfavorite #fiction #oprahsbookclub #bookgram #bookreviewer #bookblogger #bookclubpick
