My Once Artist Self

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!

Wow, has anyone else read Over the Top? It was so much more intense than I was expecting! Jonathan is of course his usual lovable self, but holy smokes she’s been through some things honey! I swear, every 50 pages I’d be like, oh so this is where it gets bad. And then it would get darker, and I’d think, well now THIS is probably the worst of it. But then there would be even more drugs and more sex. At some point I just stopped trying to anticipate and control, and I just had to run with it. . But all I could think of was my own kids—like this was a whole next level of pain that it had never occurred to me my kids could express. How would I feel if I found out my son or daughter had been prostituting him/herself for cash? Oh dear lord, I can’t even. It’s heartbreaking. . . I will say that the book ends on a positive note, which I appreciate. And I truly love @jvn — his voice, his bravery, his willingness to talk about ALL THE THINGS. I don’t know that many people could let it all out like he does, and I can’t help but wonder how many lives he has positively impacted because of it. Much respect, queen. 💕 . . #memoir #nonfictionnovember #queen #wereallhuman #booklover #bookstagram #booknerd #alwaysreading #idratherbereading #readlocal #illinoisrepresent #bookworm #bibliophile #expandyourmind #speakyourtruth #loverainbow #readersofinstagram #instareader #booksharks #bookstabuddies📚 #bebraveandwrite
