More Tales of the City | 
1-12-21: My 4th finished book of 2021! Book 2 in the series finds the inhabitants of 29 Barbary Lane finding love, solving mysteries and traveling to far off places. San Fran in the late 70s was a fun place to be! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #moretalesofthecity #armisteadmaupin 👍🏼📖#️⃣4️⃣
pickWhen i rd bk 1 6 yrs ago i anticipated rdg this joyous bk a lot sooner + i put it down with a smile on my face after revisiting Michael, mary ann, and mrs madrigal in 1970's san Francisco. The story reveals much abt mrs madrigal as Michael, mary ann, mona, and Brian the residents of the house find love as well as mysterious goings on. I have the next in the series on a tbr shelf so hopefully i will rd it a lot sooner. A perfect feel good book.
pickVisiting with some old friends. After college, when I was about to move abroad, I sold my complete set (up to then) of TOTC books. I‘m not usually sentimental about books but I still regret selling them from time to time. MTOTC and Babycakes are two of my favorites. Going to reread them all before finishing out the series with the two new ones.
pickAnother visit with our friends from Barbary Lane means more soap opera-like twists and turns, and I think it's even more fun than the first one. Though our corn-pone Midwestern gal (who is a little too corn-pone and Midwestern to be from Cleveland, even in the '70s) Mary Ann gets a little annoying in this one, I feel even more in love with most of the returning characters. Also, can I please move back to northern California now?

pickThis book is the second in the series. I ❤️it. I now know Mrs. Madrigal's secret and it's exactly what I wanted it to be. I have enjoyed Maupin's witty humor and will start the third book next week. Can't wait to see what else this cast of characters will get into next. 📚
There have been many laugh out loud descriptions and dialog in this series. I'm loving Maupin!
The second book in the series has arrived!💃🏻👯
pickListening to this #audiobook while exploring our new #SanFrancisco neighborhood was such a treat. Even better than the first Tales. I immediately downloaded the next one from Overdrive. I‘m hooked!
Oh my goodness this documentary was sooo good! Highly recommend. And very cool to see it at the Castro theater right where so much it happened!
pickAnother enjoyable installation of these quirky characters! Cynthia Nixon did a great job narrating the audiobook. I loved the sorid soap opera quality of these character's lives combined with fun storytelling and queer and trans characters. Fluffy fun! #queerbooks #transbooks
pickSilly but fun, and a great way to travel back in time to groovy late-70s San Francisco. I enjoyed all the plot twists and the ways story threads connected. What keeps me interested is the characters, and I can't help but picture them in my mind's eye as the actors portraying them in the PBS miniseries. Not sure if I'll continue to the third installment or if I've had my fill of 28 Barbary Lane. Glad I read this one though.
Hello from sunny San Miguel de Allende where Mexican Independence Day preparations are in full swing (aka El Grito). In the interest of full disclosure, I took most of this month's challenge photos at home in CA so I could play along from afar. Here is my offering for #uglycover #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge.
