March Recap!

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.

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!

I just realized, as I’m about to start reading The Girl with the Louding Voice, that I never posted my #BOTM for February. 😍 I’ve heard so many glowing reviews for this one, so I’m expecting good things! . QOTD: What was your last five-star read? . . #bookofthemonth #alwaysreading #modernclassic #diversityinbooks #whatchareading #currentlyreading #ilovebooks #bookgeek #booknerdigan #bookishlife #bookstack #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #thegirlwiththeloudingvoice #longbrightriver #fictionbooks

QOTD: What was the last book that you stayed up late to finish because you simply couldn’t put it down? . I devoured The Grace Kelly Dress in a matter of hours! 🤩 It’s about three generations of women in one family who all wear the same wedding dress that has been passed down generation to generation. As the title suggests, the dress is inspired by Grace Kelly’s wedding dress. (Swipe left to see her actual dress. It’s gorgeous.) . The writing in this book is beautiful and surprisingly suspenseful. I was flipping pages like crazy, desperate to know how all the women’s stories would finally connect and come together. Their lives are so different, but each woman is driven by her relationships—yes romantic relationships, of course, but more powerfully, their relationships with their mothers and sisters. Honestly, I just adored the story. The book comes out March 3, and I’m telling you, you NEED to read it! Big thank you to Graydon House and Amazon Vine for the ARC! . . #ireadbooks #bookgeek #alwaysreading #booksta #bookreview #currentlyreading #funfiction #thegracekellydress #brendajanowitz #ilovereadingbooks #readersofinsta #bookishladiesclub #bookstabuddies📚 #booksharks #beautifulnovel #mothersanddaughters #booknerdigan #booksofinsta

This is one of my diversity picks for February. I’ve heard really good things about Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows. It’s about a woman in her mid-20s, daughter to Indian immigrant parents, who teaches short story writing to a group of traditional Sikh women. One of the students finds a book of erotic stories and decides to bring it to class—and then, well, they’re off to the races. . . QOTD: Have you changed up your reading choices for Black History month? Do you try to read books that feature characters who are different from you? Or do you find yourself gravitating to similar characters over and over again? . . #diversebooks #bookstabuddies📚 #bookishladiesclub #booksharks #diversefiction #fictionlover #ireadbooks #readingisfun #blackhistorymonth #bookstagram #bibliophilelife #idratherbereading #booksgetme #alwayslearning #readmore #bookishlove #booknerd #eroticstoriesforpunjabiwidows #reesesbookclub #bookclub

Okay so ignore the giant pile of books in my TBR pile there... but I just finished Things in Jars and, wow, what a lovely and fantastical story. It’s a mystery with a little bit of magic thrown in. A detective has to find a unique little girl who’s been kidnapped. Rumor has it the girl can read men’s minds and kill them in just one venomous bite. But Detective Bridget Devine doesn’t believe in any of that mess...and has seen worse in her own life anyway, truth be told. She’s desperate to find the missing girl before something terrible happens to her, but she’ll have to come face to face with some demons from her past in the process. . Not my usual genre for sure, but what a phenomenal book! I loved it start to finish. Just goes to show that sometimes breaking out of your routine is just what you need to get yourself out of a reading slump! Big thank you to @atriabooks for the arc! . QOTD: do you read mystery? Fantasy? Thriller? What book would you recommend to someone who rarely reads these genres? . . #bookreviewer #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #alwaysreading #booksonthebrain #ireadbooks #bookstabuddies📚 #booksharks #bookishladiesclub #bookishfeature #pushyourself #readersofinstagram #instareader #fantasynovel #mysterybooks #goodbooks
