   I have listened to all the Miss Julia books and have immensely enjoyed every one as I am a southern lady whose upbringing was taught a proper well of doing things. I am 79 years old and the books relate so much to similar situations that have happened in our small town. .I am sorry the series ended

   I have been reading Miss Julia for years. I have been dawdling finishing the series because I don’t want it to end. Currently I am reading the penultimate book and I have been dawdling with it as well for the same reason. Thank you for all the delightful adventures of Miss Julia. When I finally finish, I will feel like I have lost a friend.
