Starting something new for spooky season. A book described as ‘Golden Girls meets murder.’ Between my love for Golden Girls, true crime, and mysteries, it immediately caught my eye. The cover was equally compelling. Luckily, the library had it, excited to dive in and so is Penny. #booksky 🔪📖🐱

Honestly, not a fan of this new album. It feels rushed, she could’ve taken a year or two off. The hype around it doesn’t match what’s actually on the record. There are catchy tunes, but the lyrics aren’t very memorable. I give it a 5/10.

As a Mexican El Chavo del Ocho is more than a show, it's part of our childhood and culture. Seeing it honored on #SNL is a moment of pride. Very cool. They are invited to the carne asada! #EChavoDel8 #badbunny. 🇲🇽🤝🇵🇷
