Dear Judy Blume,
My class just finished reading Tales of a Forth Grade Nothing. And I loved it. I feel like everything that Peter felt I have felt. I love your book!

Dear Judy Blume,
My class just finished reading Tales Of Fourth Grade Nothing. And my most favorite part about the book was when Fudge swallowed the turtle and how Peter got a new dog at the end of the story.

Hi Judy,
I always enjoyed your books growing up - even today! Hard to say which one is my favorite (it would probably be a 3-way tie)! I am also a typewriter collector - and I do use them for my own work! I was curious: what kind of typewriter did you have when you first began writing your novels? Do you remember? If so, can you tell me? I'm very curious!!
Best and thank you,
Judee

Wow a blast from my past.. I have always loved all of your books and reading your blog was a flashback ... back into your mind! When i was reading about your battle with the ductal carcinoma and you were talking about the size of your well... i immediately thought of margaret simon and the exercises Made me smile.... as does the memory of reading superfudge romance scene in the dark with a flashlight under the covers when i was young ... over and over and over! Freckle juice... I love you!

Judy -
My name is Michelle and thank you for your time. I am reaching out to you today because I am six months away from getting married and as I began thinking about gifts to get my parents, I couldn't help but think of something that incorporates you for my father. Growing up, he read me your stories every night. Specifically, Superfudge. Knowing my love of the book, with the end of the last chapter my dad would begin again with the first page. I cannot tell you how many times we read and reread Superfudge. Not only did he know how much I loved the book, but he knew my want for a younger sibling, something that never happened, but I think he helped me to live vicariously through the relationship between Fudge and Tootsie. I was hoping, if I sent you a copy of my book, if you would mind signing a note to my dad. My dad is a man of simple wants, every birthday, Christmas, or Father's Day, all he would ask for is "World Peace". Though I cannot give him "World Peace" what I can do, is reach out to an author that brought us together, every night, throughout my childhood. Thank you for your consideration.

Hey Judy,
Long time Fan, First time blogger. I was just wondering if you had caught the snappy pop-culture references to your book "Dear God It's Margret", in such hit movies as "Deadpool" and "Taldega Nights"? if you haven't seen these movies referencing your work, I highly suggest checking them out! keep up the good work! -Doc Theopolis

Dear Judy Blume,
No words can describe how much I admire you. You're my number one author. When I was 10 in fifth grade, the Fudge Series was my latest obsession, Every novel is the best. I'm glad I know what made you decide to write it. If only you could write another Fudge book. They're my most favorite books ever. You should write about Jimmy Fargo. Peter, Jimmy, and Sheila in eighth grade and high school would be fascinating. Fudge as well. and Tootsie. I know you haven't written a book in 16 years, but it would still be great to see more of Peter, Fudge, and their family and friends. I hope we eventually have a wonderful conversation about the Fudge Series and when and if you get another idea for more books.
Sincerley, Your biggest fan, Sekou D

Hello! Can you please write a sequel to "Are You There God? It': Me Margaret." It was interesting and I want to see what happens after. Thank You!

PLEASE WRITE MORE FUDGE BOOKS!!! I love all of them!

Can you write more Fudge books please? I like them.

Hi so i am doing a summer reading thing and I need to write to my favorite author, and since I don't have one, I just found an author I like with some sort of email thing. So, you have been chosen to get a message from me. By the way, your books are pretty good.
Sincerely,
Greta

Hi Ms. Blume!
I have gone to therapy for religious OCD (scrupulosity) and anxiety for a couple years now, however my illness makes it VERY difficult for me to keep my faith and connection with god. I've been in the midst of a pretty intense anxiety attack concerning religion these past couple days. I stumbled across the preview for Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret on Goodreads and decided to read the preview. It was so comforting to find out that i'm not alone in having doubts about religion, and even though i'm perhaps a bit 'too old' for it, the clear language was soothing to my anxiety and faith and somehow it has helped in the midst of this awful storm. Although i'm past bodily puberty already, Margaret is so relatable in so many ways and it's so comforting to know that i'm not a freak or weak or alone. i will definitely read it as soon as i can! Thank you so much!

You've always been a blessing and a secret in my youth.
It only took 11 yrs to announce publicly that I enjoyed every word Are you there God & Blubber in particular. Both added the much needed wisdom then and today.
I unfortunately faced the "not good enough" or derailing dialogue from my future aspirations for as along as I've known myself. Parts of me over the years absorbed the negative chatter. HOWEVER, the big kid within didn't give in. Today I've published one, very short, story and aim to follow your path ( publish 3 before seeking publicist and editor). It's called You and I: Naomi and Jiggs. I'd like to mail it to you in hopes you'll find time to read it and impart wisdom.
Many thanks in advance , & I hope you continue to have days worth dreaming about.

Dear Judy Blume,
I grew up in Canada reading your wonderful books for teenagers. I felt I was not alone with my misgivings about myself, my family and my school life. I now have some wonderful young teenage friends here in Germany and would like to share your books with them. But their English is not yet developed enough to read your books in English and benefit from them. Are your books available in German? If so, I could not find them. If not, could I recommend someone who could translate them for you? I am studying translation in Erlangen, Germany and know someone who could do a fabulous job of translating your books into German. I very much look forward to hearing from you, in case you have the time. Please continue to make the world a little better with your writing. Sincerely, Gabriela G

Dear Ms. Blume,
I just wanted to let you know how much I loved reading your book while I was growing up, and now I'm loving reading them to my 6 and 8 year old kids every night at bedtime! It's bringing back wonderful memories from my childhood. Thanks for the great entertainment!
Sincerely,
Lisa

Samuel
Dear JUDY Blume,

I also like how the setting is in NEW YORK CITY I have always liked settings in New York those books are the best I have a lot of questions too. where did you get this idea? why did fudge eat dribble? why was the setting in new York? why did peter get the dog at the end of the book? why is Shelia so bossy? and why do you like to write is it fun or do you like inspiring kids? From Samuel thank you

Anna
Dear Judy, I really enjoyed your book. My class read Tales Of a Fourth Grade Nothing. I have some questions like: Are their still elevator operators in New York? How did Peter get to school? I'm so looking forward to reading your other books!
Brooklyn
Tales of a Forth Grade Nothing was hilarious and emotional, my favorite part is when Peter gets a dog. I have a question, did you always like writing books? I find it disgusting how Fudge ATE Dribble. I have a lot of connections with Peter, because I have a little sister who I find very annoying.

Hello,
I am a teacher and we just finished reading your hilarious book, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. I have a group of grade 4 students, writing in your guest book at this moment, and some of them have used my email for their messages. Just wanted you to know why there will be so many messages from the same email. They are all from different children. I have never seen them so excited to contact an author ! I told them that when I was young I actually wrote you a letter by snail mail and that you responded. Thank you for being such a gift to so many generations! Please know that you continue to touch our hearts, minds and funny bones!

DEAR JUDY BLUME TALES OF A FORTH GRADE NOTHING WAS SUCH A GOOD BOOK WHAT MADE YOU RIGHT THIS BOOK
I LIKE IT WHEN FUDGE THROS THE SPONE AND IT NOKES OVER THE PLANT SINCERE LY REESE
geo
dear Judy Blume
you made a really good book.
when are you going to make a new book.
andrew
i really liked tales of a fourth grade nothing. but i don't get how fudge was able to swallow dribble whole. and i think it would be a good idea to write a book about jimmy fargo. but otherwise good job on your books.
Tiernan
Dear Judy Blume,
how come you made Fudge swallow the Tuttle dribble? and this story is the best one I have ever read , plus you have a good sense of humor.
P.S. what if fudge eats the dog???
Laura
Dear Judy,
Thank you so much for the work you've created. It's brought much needed escape and pleasure for me. I have read all of your books as a kid and now as an adult. I can't get enough of your writing. I love your intelligent characters, sense of humor and their sex lives. I have read all of your books written up till now and I find myself grieving that I've reached the end of your library. My favorite grown up book is "Smart Women." That was brilliant.
Are there any other writers who write kind of like you? Everything I read now is disappointing after you. Help?
Your Bookworm Fan,
Laura
