Miss Julia Throws a Wedding

It was easy making the purchase. It arrived quickly. The package was well wrapped. I'd order again.

A wedding like no other

When Miss Julia's lawyer, Binkie Enloe, and her boyfriend Coleman decide to get married, Miss Julia cannot hide her joy and relief. Although the happy couple would be satisfied with a quick trip to the Justice of the Peace, Miss Julia will have none of that. She decides to have a full-scale flowers, guests, and music affair at her stately home. This, despite the fact that she has only one week to work on it. As with all Miss Julia books, her best intentions of a prim and proper affair go out the window and hilarious complications arise, including a reluctant bride and the miraculous appearing of Mary on the side of the new Presbyterian Life Center which is being built across the street from Miss Julia's home. There are further complications of a thief in town, and a skittish associate pastor, just to spice up the proceedings. As always with this series, this is a delightful read.

very funny

Upon hearing that Binkie and Coleman are planning a quick courthouse wedding, Miss Julia takes it upon herself to give them a proper wedding. But, as will happen with these things, one problem after another comes up, everything from an escaped thief to a strange occurrence at the half-constructed family life center to an attempt of the bride to back out of the wedding. Never lacking in action and mishaps and amusing situations, the story progresses to a happy ending for all. Just as hilarious as the first two Miss Julia books, this is a very enjoyable read.

A literary treasure of humor, wit, and insight

Miss Julia Throws A Wedding is the twelve hour, complete and unabridged audiobook presentation of Ann B. Ross' Southern-style comic novel about Miss Julia, a woman determined to plan a traditional and "right" wedding for a couple. The bride once had an affair with Miss Julia's late husband, yet time has passed and Miss Julia has become best friends with the young woman - who is going to get the wedding she deserves whether she likes it or not! A literary treasure of humor, wit, and insight, very ably narrated by Karen White, Miss Julia Throws A Wedding is a welcome and highly recommended addition to community library audiobook collections.

Miss Julia's At It Again

Miss Julia is one of my favorite people.A small town SouthernPresbyterian, she can get into trouble just by following her well meaning instincts. Though she doesn't approve of Binkie and Colemon's life style, she does everything she knows how to help them get things straightened out without appearing to be judgmental. Along with this, she improves the lot of her tenants while teaching Little Loyd business skills. Or maybe he's teaching her . Then, there's the threat of an escaped kleptomaniac to reckon with, not to mention Miss Julia's resignation from the prayer chain. I can't wait for the movie !
