Home: A Memoir of My Early Years | Julie Andrews Edwards

A really interesting read, it covers her childhood and early stage career. I'm looking forward to reading the follow up book that covers her movie career (Mary Poppins is one of my all time favourite movies!)

This book was alright, but nothing too inspiring or interesting. It was nice that Andrews read it herself. Her voice is a delight. Otherwise I might have thumbs downed it.

I grew up watching and loving Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music but knew nothing about her or her life. Her difficult childhood, feeling responsible for caring for her family, and her path to success are hard to imagine at times. I‘m looking forward to the next book, Home Work.

This also sent me down the YouTube rabbit hole lol Julie and Carol Burnett together are a lot of fun. Definitely look them up.

MemoirsForMe I loved this one too! And when Carol and Julie get together, look out! 😂 3y

Comprehensive and interesting autobiography! A gift from the lovely @EadieB ❣️
Day 4: #joyousjanuaryreadathon @Andrew65
This book goes the distance from early life through stage performances including My Fair Lady and Camelot, all the way up to her move to Hollywood to star in movies around 1962. On to the next installment - Home Work.

I loved learning more about her early career! I think some parts were confusing as an American not understanding some British culture, but I really loved the behind the scenes into her first steps to stardom

I could listen to her read a textbook and be happy. This was an absolute joy to listen to. Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music are two of my favorite movies and I‘ve always loved Julie Andrews, but really knew nothing else about her. Therefore, I‘m using this as my #liveandlearn pick for #booked2020. Looking forward to starting her second book tomorrow!

Cinfhen Lovely choice 😍 5y

I've been listening to this on my commute the past two days, and all of the sudden I'm wishing that my drive to work took hours and hours! Hearing this in Julie Andrews' own voice is sublime. #currentlylistening #audiobook

A decent price seeing as her other book Home Work is £10.99 on #Kindle so grab it while you can.

I audio-crocheted to this book today. It‘s lovely. Her words are beautiful and, of course, her voice is like no other. #BFC2 Couldn‘t get the picture quite right.

wanderinglynn I love Julie Andrews. ❤️ I‘ll have to check this one out. 👍🏻 5y

Is there anything this woman cannot do?!
This was a lovely memoir written by a lovely woman.
Julie has a way with words that brings you along with her on her journey.
The pictures are so nice

My favorite memoir is this gem. It actually all happens before she becomes famous, but seeing how she grew up is fascinating. #giveawaythetruth

My car battery died two different times this week listening to Julie Andrews read this on audio. I turned the car off but let it keep playing; I couldn't pull myself away. She is my queen.

This is a lovely memoir that I read years ago but still remember being enchanted by the writing. I didn't know anything about her life before Mary Poppins or The Sound of Music, which is where this book ends. I wonder when and if a next book will be published?

ReadingEnvy She wrote a lovely children's book called 8y
nickimags Yes. Did she write with her daughter? 8y
