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.

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.
Thanks!

Several months ago I saw an interview with you during which. you said that, as a child of the 50s (as am I) you were told "We don't talk about our feelings." That quote found a home in my brain; it explained everything.
I am a memoir writer, now writing my own memoir at the request of my two adult grandsons. "We don't talk about our feelings" is the antithesis of who I am now, but it has a hand in my private evolution into the person I am now.
I have read and enjoyed several of your books, for which I thank you. But my eternal gratitude goes to you for helping me see who I am as opposed to who I was. Things could have been different, but they weren't. Oh yes we DO talk about our feelings.

I loved reading your books as a teenager - I grew up reading books like "Superfudge," "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing," "Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great," and "Are You there God, It's Me Margaret." It's so refreshing to see someone still so active as a writer and activist even in their older years.
Dear Judy,
I loved Are you there God when I was a young girl, and I am re reading it now at 50 as a perimenopausal woman.
I thought how wonderful it would be to read a new novel about grown up Margaret and how she navigated menopause!

Judy,
I loved your books as a kid. I haven’t read one since about 1980 when I was 12, but they were so memorable. U really captured the life of a kid in the 1970’s trying to figure out the sexual revolution of our older generations. Your books were loved by my friends and I for the story telling, the humor, and the naughtiness. Thank u for your courage.

Mrs. Blume,
I’m a middle school teacher and past librarian. I can remember reading your books as a kid, and now reading them to my students as a teacher. I am in Key West this week and wondered if it would be possible to meet you at your store one day to get my picture with you and an autographed book signed by you. I would love to display it in my classroom. I am staying at the Westwinds on Eaton street. Please respond if we can make this happen. Thank you so much. Kim

Judy,
We met at your book store in Key West several years ago and you were so gracious. Thank you .
This year my 20 year old granddaughter,Avalanche Selig wrote a book and published it in Amazon. She has already sold over 100, and was selected by the Colorado Montessori school as their book for the semester. She attends Crest Academy in Salida, Colorado. She was just thrilled to receive the Judy Blume award for young authors. I would love to purchase a signed copy if one of your young adult books for her 11th birthday. Is this possible? I understand you can't answer every email, but if you or your staff can direct me to the best way to get a signed copy.Thank you( Her bok in Amazon is called The Runaways)

Dear Judy:
I have been listening to your books about Peter and fudge. I have been getting tired of listening to the same five books on audible. I think a lot of kids would agree with me about wanting a sixth entry in this series. I would really like it if you made one. Sincerely, Raymond, your biggest fan.

I am happily aware that you will be presenting - in person - at the Community Library in Ketchum, ID.
Since I live in Seattle, I'm wondering if you have any other presentations.

Judy,
I've known about your books since the summer of 2021. They helped me be patient with uh, what Margaret wanted to happen, and also are super fun to just reread and relate to! Censorship of books isn't right, especially since anyone's books can be helpful to others. I just found out you had a web page, due to a school project, I appreciate all the information so much because there's no doubt I'll get a 100! Keep slaying (teenage slang for like being amazing)
