    Thank you, Judy Blume. I loved your books so much that they inspired me to write when I was a kid. I'm still writing. Continued blessings, dear lady.

    The "Judy Blume Forever" documentary is great! Judy Blume was one of my favorite childhood authors. I loved her books so much and they bring back such happy, innocent memories. I even read Wifey (her "adult" book) when I was a teenager. 😊

    Judy Blume in my high school years and immediately after in the 1970s my reading list included the weekly Times Literary Supplement, existentialists like Buber and Kierkegaard and every book in the Hyattsville Library by you. After 50 years, I'm sure Go Ask Alice is gone and many others are gone. They don't teach cursive writing any more, I learned. How do teenagers keep diaries ? So great to see you still active. You look at least 25 to 30 years younger than your alleged age.

    When I was a young girl, I read well above my grade level, therefore, didn't read any Judy Blume books until I was 14 and "Wifey" came out which was her first adult novel. I didn't read "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" until I was in my 30s and I found it to be poignant. I don't know if I would have gotten all of its meaning in my tweens.

    God bless you Judy. It isn't your job to fight for a child's right to read, but I hope you can be a positive and powerful voice in a place that seems to be afraid of the world it is living in. Before I knew about gender, I was reading your books. Before judgement was a political path, you were simply trying to help us understand the experience of growing up. Thank You.

      0:54 - 1:35 For the tens of millions who've read Judy Blume's novels AND the tens of thousands watching "GMA" [on ABC, live, or later, on CZcams] and who LISTENED TO, paid attention and are mature enough to comprehend her reasoning about WHY this was the time for a film adaptation of her acclaimed novel, "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret.":
      "I got a wonderful letter . . . from Kelly Fremon Craig. And at the end she said 'Oh, and BTW, I wrote and directed the movie 'The Edge of Seventeen.'"
      VERY animated, Ms. Blume continues, "That's a great movie. I saw that movie. This is the FIRST TIME I've had someone, you know, ask me 'can we make the movie' with that kind of credential. AND -- to top it off -- she said 'my mentor is James L. Brooks.' . . . And I'm like 'YES!'"
      Quip reply to "marcellixxx": Oh yeah, sounds like Judy Blume has so many misgivings and an endless stream of sleepless nights fretting about having let the '80s pass by without hustling Hollywood to turn her celebrated, adored young adult novels -- for which she was ALREADY 'a legend' as an author to a certain demographic -- into movies.
      John Hughes was doing quite alright in the 1980s, but if a certain someone, "marcellixxx" for instance, had told him he should have done "Pretty in Pink", "Sixteen Candles", "Uncle Buck", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Breakfast Club" in the '50s because it would have made him a legend decades earlier he would have been utterly dumbfounded and perhaps responded, "I don't think you're yet old enough to appreciate my screenplays and / or fully comprehend my movies".
      "marcellixxx"'s message is clearly 'from the heart' but it reads wildly off the mark and is in fact utterly preposterous. As we witness here viewing "GMA"'s trio interviewing Judy Blume, the lady appears 100% fine with the way things have played out. Could she be any more animated, gracious or intelligent? I think not. Why, she's glowing with satisfaction and appreciation.

    Back in middle school, Judy Blume's books had a reputation for risque and seductive, always with some sex or foreplay described like no other kids books in the library. Honestly, the kids would whisper and giggle all over that as I recall. I remember once a friend showed me a passage about two kids about to have sex, and the girl smelling his privates and then this whole description about her wanting to put cologne on his testicles. This was signature Blume. Kids would always search thru the pages for the sex scenes at the end. She was the only author known to include explicit descriptions of fondling, sex, and foreplay in graphic detail in the whole school collection. She stoked those hormones afire which we really didn't need at that age.

To think you can't access book when people are accessing some of the darkest porn online is just brainless politicization. We all got to think before brainlessly jumping on the bandwagon of hostility when there's it's a moot issue.
