Judy says: Thank you, thank you for all your wonderful notes. I only wish I could write back to each of you personally. But in order to start a new book I need serious thinking time, which means less time for e-mail. Hope you understand.
Just want you to know that my assistant and I read this guestbook every day, and try to respond when appropriate. Your continued love and support are a constant inspiration.

I have begun to write my first children's book series. What do you wish you had known when you first started?
Hey Judy -
Andy and Katie from WKZE radio here. We see that you’re going to be in New York mid May. We are the new owners of a very cool, very independent FM station smack dab in the center of the Hudson Valley. We were wondering if you’d like to come for a visit and convo on the air! Email me back at the above address if interested.
Regards (and longtime reader)

While shopping in Dollar Tree, I rediscovered, “Are you there God, it’s me Margaret?” I bought it mostly for nostalgic purposes… and then one afternoon, I decided to pick it up and read a couple of chapters. I couldn’t put it down and wonderful memories came flooding back. Like Margaret, I often spoke to God. I was also an only child. I realize now what this book meant to me then and why it was so special, as I had quite a few things in common with Margaret. I was wondering what year it was based on… Was it based on the years when you were growing up or was the setting from the 70s-80s? I’m in my 50s and I can tell you that it’s brought me just as much joy as it did when I was a preteen myself. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with all of us. -K.
Dear Judy,
Could you please write a funny yet somewhat serious book about navigating your 40s.
Are you there God, it's me Perimenopause" would hit home to a lot of women.
This time in my life just feels awkward.

Hi Judy,
My name is Piper, I am in the fourth grade in Augusta,Ks. Our class just read Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing in class. I loved it. That inspired me to read a few other books you have written as well. This year we get to do something called a “wax museum” I picked you this year! I get to dress up and talk about your accomplishments and the many books you have written! My classmates and I all memorize a blip about whoever we pick and write reports and perform our skit in front of the school and our families. I hope the new book is going well and Florida is nice and sunny!
Love,
Piper

Judy,
Summer Sisters made me feel understood in a way no other book has. Thank you for putting into words, feelings I cannot myself about the love between female friends. This book will never leave me. Thank you for everything you've given me.
Much love.

Hello!
I've long been a fan of your books. I wanted to let you know that I was contacted by a TikTok account @JudyBlume0 who is claiming to be you. If this isn't official, you may want to contact TikTok about shutting it down.
Thanks for all the amazing stories over the years!

We just finished the whole Fudge series. We love your books so much. We would want you to write another Fudge book called Fudge Strikes Again. We loved listening to your books in the car on our roadtrip. Our mom read all the Fudge books when she was little. But not Double Fudge. We all read that one together for the first time this week. Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Judy, Your books about Fudge crack me up every time I re-read them. I loved reading Shelia's book as well. The scenes in the Shelia book when she was taking swimming lessons were so realistic, I could relate so well. I think you are a wonderful voice in the world. The world is a better place because you contribute so much. Thank you for getting me through the years that I needed your books the most.

Dear Judy, I loved all your Fudge books as a kid and of course good old Shelia! Your books helped me through a rough patch in my life, (moving). Thank you for your words and thoughts on paper.
Dear Judy,
Just want to tell you how much I adore your books. Especially the series about Stephanie and Rachel and Allison. I was born in 1980 , so grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. And your books helped me navigate my middle- school years. I still enjoy re- reading them today!! lol.
My kids tease me that I still enjoy reading your kid books but I truly feel that your books are for all ages because they are so honest and well- written.
As a reading specialist I will often recommend your books to readers so that they can enjoy the pleasure of reading your books.
Of course i introduced my own 3 kids to your books as they were growing up!! Bottom line is , thank you for enhancing my childhood and adulthood with your real life, very relatable stories. They are like a cozy blanket on a cool day. I can escape back to my childhood any time I want simply by opening a Judy Blume book. Thank you, thank you!!!
P.S - maybe one day I’ll make it down to Key West to visit your book store- and hopefully you too!!
You have done great things for children all around the world.

Hi Judy,
I started a book club with 25 other lovely women recently. When it came time to choose our first book, I happened to discover that there was *one* Blume book that we had never read— Summer Sisters. I truly believe the universe tucked this gem away for me to find at this point in my life. Our first meeting was spent laughing through our first introductions to your stories as girls. We smiled and cried over shared trials and tribulations of girlhood, where your books served us all as a guiding light. Thank you for your brilliant and poignant words that have carried us into womanhood. Hope to continue filling my shelf with your lovely work.
Best,
Ariel Pospisil

Wanted to say thanks for all the relatable stories that have been written. I remember reading several of your books while in the fifth grade. I'm 42 now and have been inspired by authors like you to write stories as well. Thanks for all that you do to inspire girls and women of all ages and backgrounds.

I just finished watching your documentary on Amazon Prime. Loved it. You are an inspiration to all women.
My sister gave my daughter one of your books a month ago. After reading it she asked for more of your books. She continues to read your books often commenting on how good they are. Last night, she asked, "is Judy Blume still alive?" Will you look her up? I would love to meet her. My daughter hasn't asked to meet anyone before. You are more interesting than a movie star or singer. Thank you for using your God given talents to bless this world.
Dear Judy,
I have read so many of your books since I was 12 (I'm now 54). My favorite book, the one I read every year, is Summer Sisters. I had a first edition copy but I leant it to someone (I can't remember who) and I never got it back.
When I read that book, I see the girls on the beach, at Lamb's house, at the Merry Go Round. It's just a book that I can envision the scenes in my head. I, of course, love all your other adult books too. When I was a young girl, Are you There God, it's me Margaret? was my favorite. I actually still have my childhood copy of Then Again, Maybe I Won't. I'm not sure why I held onto that one book, but I did. It's sitting on a shelf with all my favorite books from over the years. Thank you so much for writing all of these books. They have meant so much to so many girls throughout the years. I actually went to Church with someone you are related to in Pasadena, Texas. The little girl that was your niece was my son's age and I can't remember her and her mother's name for the life of me but I thought that was just too cool. I was a little jealous.
LOL. This was back in 1999 or maybe 2000. Well, I hope you write another adult book before you retire from writing (if you already haven't). One thing on my bucket list is to visit where you live. Maybe I will run into you. LOL. That would be just the best! Again, thank you so much for all of the books you have written. Oh, I actually purchased 5 of your books and I have put them away for my granddaughter for when she is about 11 or 12 (she is almost 4 now). I will be holding those books for a while. LOL. Well, take care. Julie Rogers

I read your book “Blubber” when I was in third grade in 2003. I was very offended by a swear word and wrote you a letter about it. You wrote me back. I was wondering if you remember this?!
