Another great read by Ann B. Ross. Love Miss Julia.
Leave it to Miss Julia to get herself in other people's business and when you think it is going to be a mess, you see Miss Julia always gets things to work out.
I can't wait for the next one.
Thanks #netgalley for letting me read Miss Julia Knows a Thing or Two.

I love this series. I have gotten to know the characters over time and am always excited to read the next one to find out what is happening with the townsfolks. This one does not disappoint. While this book may be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend you start at the beginning. It is set in a small mountain town, with small town issues.

This book is part of a series. It can be read alone but if you get a chance, read the series. Miss Julia has decided not meddle in her friends and family’s lives. That does not last long. Her next door neighbor Mildred is dealing with her husband’s forgetfulness and a granddaughter ( who she didn’t know about) being dropped off on her doorstep. Miss Julia lends a hand and get close to the girl. In the meantime she tries to save Etta Mae’s job. I enjoy the antics of Miss Julia. Thank you Penguin Group - Viking and NetGalley. This is my own opinion.

I love Miss Julia! She says and does all of those things that most of us would like to, but don't have the chutzpah to pull off in polite society....or a small town. This book tackles the issues of having a child suddenly thrust upon you (reminiscent of book one), coming to grips with the changing tides of life, and even a bit on investments. I always learn something new - financially - when reading her books, which is a nice bonus. The small town setting with familiar characters makes opening each new installment a bit like coming home. Several of the regulars are absent from this book, but that only allows the ones who do play a part to shine a bit brighter this time.

Miss Julia is back and has turned over a new leaf. She has decided to no longer interfere in the lives of her friends, neighbors and relations. However, her resolution doesn’t last long. Miss Julia’s neighbor Mildred Allen has had a child, Penelope, foisted on her by her daughter Tonya and Mildred’s husband seems to be losing his memory. Meanwhile, old friend Etta Mae Wiggins may be losing her job when her boss decides to sell her business and relocate to Florida. Finally, with Christmas fast approaching Miss Julia needs to shop, decorate, plan, and host everyone at her house for happy holiday. Juggling all of that leads to many amusing and often convoluted situations. But this is Miss Julia, who always perseveres in the end.

I have been following the adventures of Miss Julia from the first installment and I have enjoyed every minute of them. This time around is no exception, Miss Julia does things her way, often finding herself in awkward situations and juggling more balls that you would think one person could handle. In the end, Miss Julia always comes out on top, somehow with everyone her around still intact. Fans of this series will not be disappointed with this latest!
