About
Hi, I'm Amy. Bella is my little sidekick.
My love of reading started when I was a child. Every night, my parents read me a bedtime story. It settled me because I was terrified of sleeping on my own. Those voices, pages turning, and the worlds inside those books became the safest place I knew.
The little dog in the logo is Bella — my real-life reading companion. She still sits with me through every bookathon to this day, usually tucked in beside a pile of books, a cup of tea, and one more chapter than I meant to read.
Bella Bugs Books is where I keep those stories alive: honest reviews, the books that broke me, and the ones I never stop recommending.
Honest
Every review is read end-to-end. No sponsored stars. No hot takes for clicks.
Slow
Two books at a time, max. Reading is supposed to feel like Sunday morning.
A little fuzzy
Bella supervises every reading session. Sometimes she contributes. Mostly she naps.
Got a book you think I'd love?
I take recommendations seriously — especially ones from independent presses and translators.
