Judy Blume says she's done writing

I'm a fan of Judy Blume's writing. I have only read her novels for young adults/children, but none of her novels for adults to date. I still have more of her young adults/children books to read as well.

I actually saw Judy Blume at the Bay Area Book Festival back in 2015 during one of the author talks where she discussed her recently published novel for adults titled, In the Unlikely Event.

I really enjoyed hearing Judy Blume speak about her writing and her novel, In the Unlikely Event. I was able to actually meet Judy Blume briefly  after the speaking event when she signed my copy of In the Unlikely Event.

Now, Judy Blume has decided to retire from writing books after 50 years. Good for her! 

Read the following NPR article, Judy Blume says she's done writing: '50 years is enough!', where Judy Blume discusses her writing!

  1. Judy Blume was a great favorite of my kids when they were growing up and we spent many nights together reading her books. I will always treasure those memories. If she's now ready to take a rest from writing, more power to her! May she enjoy her well-earned retirement.
