This book in the Miss Julia series is one of the best yet! The book opens with Miss Julia breathing a sigh of relief over the hurried nuptials of Hazel Marie and J. D. Pickens. But there's no rest for the weary and in typical Miss Julia fashion she finds herself coming to the defense of Etta Mae ...
Miss Julia is beside herself. Hazel Marie has taken ill, but she refuses to let Miss Julia notify Mr Pickens. Apparently they have broken up; he’s in Charlotte working on a case and may be moving there. Hazel Marie says she is ready to get on with her life, but she is clearly miserable. Miss Ju...
Another rollicking frolic with the unshakable Miss Julia! This lady is indescribably funny - I laugh and chortle my way through her escapades. Once again, Miss Ross does a fine job of further developing the characters I have met in my previous readings and throws in a couple of very unexpected ...
Another lovely tale in the Miss Julia series. I so enjoy the characters of Miss Julia and Lillian, it hardly matters that not much happened in this book.Hazel Marie is swamped with twin babies, James falls and is injured, Brother Vern shows up and more. Julia decides to help out with cooking less...
Another fine read with the antics of Miss Julia. I enjoyed it for a another adventure as seen thru Miss Julia's eye. A good book for a long afternoon in a waiting room because it took my mind to a lighthearted place. If you want to know how North Carolinians and Southerners speak, read this a p...
Etta Mae’s Worst Bad Luck Day by Ann B. Ross is difficult to rate. For me it is a 3.5. This is the first book that I have ever read about a sweet, kind hearted gold digger. She says that all she really wants is the respect but I think the money helps. She hates that people think of her as loose ...
The writing style is spot on if you've ever been buttonholed by an older woman of Southern extraction who wants to tell ya all about it. The first third read very quickly, as we are presented with her situation (newly widowed, discovers how wealthy her husband really was, is presented with her hu...
This book is entertaining, but a the back flash of Christmas is a little confusing. I was listening using an audiobook and I wasn't sure if it had been recorded wrong. Nevertheless, it was entertaining as are all the books in the series.When Hazel Marie's dastardly uncle comes back, he wrecks h...
Miss Julia is a character I have really come to love and cherish. She is set in her ways, somewhat cranky, yet her many adventures are a delight to read. Miss Julia has lived her life a certain way defined by what her church and husband strong-armed her into for over forty years, so it is perfe...
I do enjoy most of my time spent with Miss Julia and her cast of friends and acquaintances. Having said that it seems that in every book Miss Julia has to do something that is so totally stupid as to be almost enough to make me stop reading the book. Nothing different this time there is that on...
