@UwannaPublishme did you challenge me to watch this before the end of 2020? I remember telling someone I would watch this and here I am watching it...I'm surprised by how many of the songs I know

MemoirsForMe Yes I did! Yay for watching! Now we can hum all the songs together. Looking forward to hearing your full review on my favorite movie. 😊🎼🙌🏻 4y
Crazeedi I know every single song and probably half of the words spoken, this is one of my most favorite movies ever 4y
Deblovestoread I so wanted to watch this year but my daughter was a hard no. She said she had to watch it too many times as a youngster. What can I say? I like what I like. 😂 4y

rubyslippersreads @kspenmoll So did I. Little-girl-me had such a crush on Captain von Trapp. 4y

Since #7Rings uses the tune of A Few of My Favorite Things, I had to post books related to The Sound of Music. The tagged book is behind the scenes of the movie, and the other two are written by Julie Andrews. She's quite the accomplished children's book author. #AMonthofSongs

OriginalCyn620 I do love Julie Andrews! 5y
rretzler Many years ago, when it was first published, I read what I think was her first children‘s book. It was wonderful, by I haven‘t read anything else she wrote. 5y
MallenNC @rretzler I haven't read her children's books and I was amazed at how many she's written! I'm glad to hear her first one was good. 5y
MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 I love The Sound of Music. It is one of my favorite classic movies. 5y
BooknerdsLife Aww thank you for this post! I love her but have no idea she has written those books! 😍😍 5y

I rented the sound of music and as soon as Julie Andrews started singing I started crying. I miss my grandma. This period is killing me 😭🙃

blithebuoyant @C.Perone we watched it all the time together when I was young. I didn‘t know there was a half hour left of the running from the nazis until I was 18 because my grandma always turned it off after the wedding 😂 6y
TheBookgeekFrau 😂Oh, that‘s funny!! And such a great story & memory 😊 6y
blithebuoyant @C.Perone She was afraid I‘d be scared of the nazis and my extra-German grandfather 😂😂😂 6y
