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.

Hello! My name is Sami Klingler and I am currently a Junior in college at the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio. I have always been extremely interested in school, and I strive for any opportunity to learn something new. I am studying exercise science and will be entering my graduate program this summer to become a doctor of physical therapy. I chose The University of Findlay because of its amazing physical therapy program and its 100% employment rate of graduated students. I am a very responsible and diligent student; I keep my GPA above a 3.5 at all times and also work a job on campus. With that being said, college is very expensive. Currently, my undergraduate tuition is $40,000 for three years, and then $50,000 for another three years. I am going into my third year of six and the loans are becoming a lot for my family and I. I try hard to find as many scholarships as possible, and I would really like to finish out school and not be paying back student loans for years. If you or anyone you know could help financially, I would be eternally grateful for your generosity. If you are willing or able to help in any way, I am going to add my address to the end of this letter. Thank you in advance!

Judy Blume, I’ll keep it short. Thank you for your books and the inspiration you give me. Reading your books frees me of feeling embarrassed over things from my childhood, as you write those embarrassing things right out into the open. I want to be a writer just like you, even if I don’t have the same success. I just want to do the damn thing.
I read your works as a child in the 1970s. This year, for my local library summer reading challenge, I decided to read as many banned books as possible. Doing so decreases the chance of the works being removed from collections because no one borrowed it for a long period. It also adds the works to the "Recently Read" carts, which patrons browse.
I was shocked and saddened to learn that your works were also banned. So, I recently re-read "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." Upon completion, I posted the words below to my Facebook page. I'm sharing this with you, as I'm sure it will give you a smile too.
>>>I don't know how many of you read Judy Blume. I just ran across an old, but famous, line from "Are You There, God? It's Me Margaret."
There is an excercise that goes with the chant. As a kid, I did the excercise and chant too.
It worked.
Too well.
Then I got old, and...
I thought of a new chant.
"WE MUST
WE MUST
WE MUST UPLIFT OUR BUST!"

Judy, I used to write back and forth with you when I was young. You helped me through a really traumatic time in my life and I can't thank you enough. You put my letter in your book " Letters to Judy " and it validated all of my feelings at that time. I am a library director now and of course have all of your books in my library, I have recently been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and I'm getting things checked off my bucket list. I would love to meet you and wondered if you do any meet and greets or book signings? Is there a schedule possibly? I would love to try and make this happen. P.S. I was Suzanna in your book 🙂 Wendy
I read Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret wayyyyy back when I was a teenager and I loved it. I'm 61 now and just read it again. It's helped me to understand, with empathy, what my pre-teen grandchildren are going through. Thank you!
My husband and I are currently on vacation in Key West. We stopped into Books & Books, and I was told that you are, understandably, out of town for the summer. However, I bought an autographed copy of Forever to replace the paperback copy that I purchased in the late 1970s. The book (and you) mean so much to me.
Hello Ms. Blume,
Can you please write another book for adults? I grew up reading your literature and would love to read more of your work. You have so much to offer the world.

I met Judy Blume many years ago at Battin School Elizabeth NJ where she was the guest of honor and I was the music teacher at an event for her ( she is an alumnus of Battin). I wrote a song for her and my chorus performed it. I believe she liked the song.
Since then I've enjoyed a long career writing and producing original songs and commercials. My latest project is a musical for middle/high school students based on Dickens' " A Christmas Carole" called " It's Christmas Cara"
. I would love for Judy to listen to this show and give her suggestions on how we ( my collaborators and I) could find our next project.I appreciate and respect how valuable her time is but I do believe she can discern quality. Thanks, Stanley Schwartz

Hello Judy!
My kids and I absolutely love your Fudge series books.
I myself read “Super Fudge” probably a hundred times as a child.
My youngest child, Bella, wanted me to contact you and ask this question: Why in the world is there no movie about Fudge?
I just quoted a line from one of your characters, Daniel Mannheim, who always wanted to “make something of it” whenever someone questioned him, and I was reminded that I needed to write to you.
Thank you for your writing. You’ve inspired me as a writer more than you’ll ever know.
Sincerely,
Lindsay , Liam, and Bella

Hi Judy, walking past a "Little Free Library" I kept getting a nudge to go over. "I have enough books that I haven't read." It persisted. In it, "Smart Women." I read it 40 years ago as a teenager. It brought me back to a fabulous time with my best friend in highschool, who also loved your books (she died when we were young) and my time in my early 20s in Boulder (I later read you hadn't lived there: could have fooled me). It was a wonderful time capsule. Your writing brought me to smile on many occasions. From the earliest days of you sharing information that I could get nowhere else ("Are you there God, it's me, Margaret") through many of your other books. You are a good writer, you inspire! Last year, saw the documentary about you. You fight the good fight of censorship and are a kind person. Thank you! ~Karen in Sisters Oregon
Hi, Judy! Greetings from a fellow writer. I must confess that, as a writer, I'm a late bloomer and truly wish I'd had the nerve to follow my heart much sooner in life. I've been told that my writing style is similar to yours and, being the pessimist that I am, wonder if you would be willing to confirm (or deny) that for me. Thanks for all you do and thanks so much for taking the time to read this entry.
This is the silliest thing to say in your guest book, but here goes!
Your MasterClass is so enjoyable; I was truly sad to finish it. You were so informative, but I also enjoyed listening to you speak with such warmth and affection about everyone and everything. I got such a sense of what a lovely person you are, a bit like finding a friend you didn't know you had. We should all be more Judy.
Best of luck with your book shop; it sounds like heaven!

I just wanted to thank you for creating a love of reading my life. I have had a very turbulent life and reading your books was my only escape. I am now a teacher and I read your books to my students a little each day and they too love them. I hope they find the joy I have in your storytelling. Thank you again so much for pouring your heart into your writing and providing untold numbers of kids and adults an escape from a sometimes tough life. If there is a way to purchase an autographed book could I possibly be given info on how to order? Anyway, thank you again and sending so much love to you❤️Stacey
Dear Judy
My favourite book of yours is and will always be Just as long as we are together. I adore it. I’m 38 now and just finished reading it to my 8 year old. She said she’d love a book from Alison’s perspective, as Alison is just so cool! She wants to know if alison really liked Rachel or wanted Stephanie to herself. So full of questions 🙂
And so would I love a prequel Will you ever write one do you think?
Then you for taking the time to read this x

Hello Judy Blume, Just wondering where you got the inspiration or name for the "Garber family", their 3 children in 1970 Iggies House, and book cover, this book came up while I was researching the 1967 Detroit riots, I couldn't find anything regarding the Trailblazer magazine before you published the book. I grew up here due to my father's occupation as a police officer, thx
Dear Ms. Judy,
I have heard a lot about you, and I'm very thankful that you've written these books for us. I am angry at you for making me cry when I read Are you there God? It's me, Margaret, but I am glad that I could see myself in it. I realized that I sounded just like Margaret whenever I prayed, and it made me cry. Right now I am in a new country, and I am learning the language from scratch, I have to transfer to a new school. I have had my first heartbreak, and I am scared about what's gonna happen next. But I trust in God that he'll take care of me. Thank you Ms. Judy.

Hello Judy and all fans,
I have written a children’s fiction book that I could use some direction with getting it published. I also need an illustrator.
