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.

Subject: Thank You for Forever — Then and Now
Dear Judy Blume,
My name is Stacey Yanosy, and I grew up in the 1980s reading your books — many of them more than once! Forever and Wifey stood out to me as a young person; they were eye-opening, honest, and taught me things I needed to know about life, love, and growing up.
Now, as an adult with grown children of my own, I recently reread both books. It’s amazing how differently we experience stories with age and perspective. They hit me in a whole new way — still powerful, still relevant.
This weekend, I had the joy of watching the new Forever series. It’s absolutely wonderful — so well done, with dialogue, emails, and dynamics that feel true to life. I especially appreciated how the relationships were portrayed, both the teen romance and the perspectives of the parents. My 19-year-old daughter, who recently went through a similar first love and breakup, watched some of it with me, and we were both moved.
Thank you for the stories you’ve given us — then and now. Your work continues to resonate deeply, and I’m so grateful.
warmly,
Stacey

Dear God, it’s me Jennie,
Can you please write a book about perimenopause!
Can you please write a book about perimenopause!
So many of us grew up reading your books. They helped us get through those awkward teenage years. We are now awkward peri/menopausal women. Do you think you could write for us again in this new stage of life? Lol
Hello
I’m pretty sure you’d have a best seller if right about now you wrote something like dear E, are you there? It’s me menopausal Margaret - haha
If you want a coauthor I’d drop everything to do it!! I’m a sexual and reproductive health care provider x 26 years and often write lil humor sections on these topics! But seriously - i often use your books with the adolescents I care for… always a fan - thank you so much for opening the world to women’s sexual and reproductive health amongst the rest of your magic.
Eternally grateful, Cosima

Thank you so much for your wonderful books. I read them as a child and am now sharing them with my own children. We love Judy Blume!
Hello Judy, I’m now 54 years old and read all of your books in grade school. “Are You ThereGod,…” was my favorite. I think many of us girls growing up read it to learn about our cycle. It was constantly checked out in the school library.
I saw this on FB and had to laugh and shared it with my girlfriends. “ I wish Judy Blume would write a book about Margaret going through perimenopause.
We could use that right about now“
We sure got a giggle from that.
Thank you for your time and talent. Naina

Dear Judy,
Are you there, Judy? It’s me, Lynn Toomey, a lifelong fan who read Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret at 11… and is now getting over navigating hot flashes, mood swings, and memory lapses.
Your work helped me feel seen as a young girl, and I often wonder what it would be like if Margaret checked in with God again…this time about menopause, missing glasses, and missing her mojo.
In fact, I’ve been writing a collection of short stories that imagine just that…Margaret as a funny, flawed, fabulous woman facing midlife with a mini fan in one hand and chocolate in the other. Of course I haven’t published them so they’ve been for my own enjoyment.
Thank you for being such a brave, honest voice for so many generations. If you ever revisit Margaret’s story—or want a menopause version—I’d be honored to share ideas or simply say thank you for inspiring me to write from the heart.
I have a few self-published books on Amazon and looking forward to doing more writing in my second half.
With deepest admiration,
Lynn Toomey

Hello! My sister, Genevieve, has a wonderful idea for a kind of sequel to Are You There, God…
I want to share it in a less public forum. Is there an email I can send the idea?
I’m asking because my sister never would! Please let me know?

Dear Judy Blume,
I want to tell you that we just read Freckle Juice and we all love it! We are 2nd graders from El Paso, Texas and we wish you can make a part 2 of the freckle juice book. Thank you for writing the freckle juice book. We drank Mrs Lozano's freckle juice recipe! The Freckle Juice book was funny and entertaining and we made our own Freckle Juice recipe.
With love,
Vanessa Balderas, Mateo Gutierrez Julia Avila.

Dear Judy Blume,
We are really obsessed with your books. We love your books! We are in 2nd grade in El paso,Texas. We like how your books have funny jokes and pretty covers.
We like your freckle juice book especially how it ended in a mystery.
We really like the scene where Andrew and Sharon passed the recipe to each other. We even made a recipe of our own from the book and we made our family drink it.
Love,
Alex,Montse,Ernesto,Gustavo.

Dear Judy Blume,
We have read your Freckle Juice story and we loved every part of the story. Our teacher made a freckle juice and we tried it and we made our own Freckle juice recipe. It would be fun if you wrote a second part, but we know it takes 1 year or more to write a book and that is so much time.
With love, Victoria, Manuel, and Benedict.

Dear Judy,
I loved Freckle Juice! It was a good book. I loved the part where Andrew drew freckles with a blue maker before Andrew went to school. I like your freckle juice book and we even tried your freckle juice recipe in class.
PS: we are reading your book in El Paso, Texas and we are in 2nd grade.
Love,
Mariane, Eva, and Mateo E.

As a dyslexic young woman growing up, I struggled to read and to find connection to books. Until mum found Judy. My first book was 'Then again maybe I won't'. It was winter when got it. I sat with it and hot Milo wrapped in a blanket lamp by my side, totally hooked. It was the first book I read cover to cover. It took me a long time but I did it and then I read ever book I could get my hands on.
As I am older now I would love to ask you Judy, would you consider doing any of the books with the characters we loved revisited as adults? Like Margaret now going through peri menopause and divorce?
Anyway, thank you for the wonderful gift of reading.

Sorry,Judy, I really really disliked Summer Sisters. I purchased the book with a gift card from a student. Sorry I will not be recommending this book.
I just watched your biography on Prime. My childhood revisited. Not always a good thing. You helped me through. I'm 60 this year. Thank you Judy ❤️
Hello Judy,
I was thinking about you this morning and decided to run a search for you to see what you are up to. I was happy to find this page and read all the ways you have touched others lives. I am 42. If it weren't for your books I doubt I would have survived being a teenager or my sexual awakening especially given at the time even just having a basic knowledge of those things was considered taboo. I am so grateful for you and all of your work.
