Music, Movies, and Books

I love most music, but especially salsa. My dad taught me to live the blues and my momma taught meto love Janis Joplin and James Taylor.

My favorite movies are those that would play at my local small movie theater. I enjoy most movies, anything from "Get Out" to "The Shape of Water. I even enjoyed a movie about a "luchador" and another about midwives at the Guanajuato International Film Festival a couple of years ago.

Books....I love young adult fiction and kids books (Tack the Penguin and Froggy are my faves.) The graphic novel about Rep. Lewis is amazing. This year I read the Wrinkle in Time quintet. I'll start anything.
