How she got them through their childhood and adolescence. <br /><br />@Kim-The reasons why Twain was banned are so silly for a present audience, but I guess back then it was a big deal. I think that even now, the reasons why Judy Blume was banned are a bit outdated too. <br /><br />@Steph-Yes, she really shows she cares in her writing and after seeing her in person, I am even more convinced. <br /><br />@Sharon-She did talk about Letters. It was quite heartbreaking. She said when she first started getting letters she went to a professional to figure out what her role should be. They figured out it was as a friend. <br /><br />@Kate-Loved your comment about books by women and how they portay us. <br /><br />@Jenny-I agree with you, as she and Mark Twain have really touched a lot of people.Midnyte Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411332857885069319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114795204205214186.post-89144340409782800402012-07-20T11:36:12.913-04:002012-07-20T11:36:12.913-04:00Oh my gosh you got to meet Judy Blume?! LUCKY YOU ...Oh my gosh you got to meet Judy Blume?! LUCKY YOU PAM!!! This looks like such an amazing event, thank you so much for sharing! Love what she said about censorship, and if I were her, I definitely would have been excited to share space on the same banned list as Mark Twain. Seems like an indicator that you're doing something right!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114795204205214186.post-57812696783292718732012-07-20T10:55:03.693-04:002012-07-20T10:55:03.693-04:00Wow, I don't think I would have been able to h...Wow, I don't think I would have been able to have done anything but stutter and slobber over Ms. Blume! Her books were such a part of my childhood that it is a bit hard to think of her as a real person. I have been so fortunate to have grown up in a time when books, especially those written by women, have been able to portray the truth of reality and the possibilities out there for all of us. Awesome post, Pam!Kate @Midnight Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01220575670960466054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114795204205214186.post-22688185170742641012012-07-20T04:25:02.813-04:002012-07-20T04:25:02.813-04:00This was truly a great piece.

One that still breaks my heart is "Letters to Judy", I made me cry then and it makes me cry now. You are right, she is an icon and a great one at that.sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036619490919840528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114795204205214186.post-5470640637134542272012-07-19T15:39:19.487-04:002012-07-19T15:39:19.487-04:00I was about to write several OMGs and an I'm J...I was about to write several OMGs and an I'm Jealous or two... but it looks like I got beat. But seriously, I LOVED this post. I love Judy Blume. She is just one of those people who cares. And I've never met her, but you know she does. She is so thoughtful in her books and in her essays and interviews and even on twitter. I can't believe she grew up in the 50s. The woman is timeless.fakestephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178042157823156839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114795204205214186.post-91120455969060753982012-07-19T14:50:34.548-04:002012-07-19T14:50:34.548-04:00OMG!!!

I'm s...OMG!!! Judy Blume! I am so jealous! <br /><br />I'm so glad that she embraces being banned (though I don't think any of her books should be banned). I'm always bummed when there is an updated version, but I get why the publishers want to do it. <br /><br />Excellent wrap up of the event!!Kimberly @ Midnight Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649785182080499981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114795204205214186.post-69845731626340095782012-07-19T14:12:55.252-04:002012-07-19T14:12:55.252-04:00I am soooooooooooooooooo JELLY!
