Who else grew up reading books by Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary? Their books were the best. I read every book they had out back then.

I used to read them! But I think they came out before I was born 😛 I used to read Are you there God, It’s me Margaret all the time!
Love, love, love Beverley Cleary. She is responsible for my love of reading along with a very astute and accommodating librarian at the children’s library when I was around 7-8 in the late 50’s. I wish that I had contacted Ms Cleary while she was still alive to let her know. I was a generation too early for Judy Blume but I did read Are You There God last year. Books sure evolved a lot from one generation to the next. ?
And then the 80’s brought SE Hinton. The Outsiders. Classic.
Oh me!! Love them!
Judy Blume. My first true love ❤️?
Takes of a 4th grade nothing, blubber, tiger eyes. I also remember reading some of her adult titles as a teenager. They were kind of risqué.
Are You There God, it’s Me Margaret was my all time favorite.
Loved Ramona. One year in elementary school I dressed up as Ramona for character day. Wish they would bring all the things back from when I was a kid back.
Me! ?
I wasn’t allowed.
Beverley Cleary or Judy Blume. I could almost understand Blume, but Cleary????
Judy Blume wasn’t allowed. Read her the first time last year!
Lol, if my mom only knew all the things I read!
The Little House on the Prairie too! Oh and The Babysitters Club!
The boxcar children
I loved them!!! I hope my daughter enjoys them as much as I did??
I read almost of Nancy Drew books, which started my love of reading.
They were my passion. Read them all.
Read them all!
I loved them. I also read Encyclopedia Brown and when I got to middle school I read the Sweet Valley HIgh series.
Yep Encyclopedia Brown!!
I read so many of them as a kid!
Just sorted a bunch of books for my LFL, and Bloom and Cleary where in the stacks! So excited!
I loved Beverly Cleary… can’t seem to get my kiddos to read them ?
As much as I loved her, I think they may be dated these days. Sadly…..
Maybe.. i havent read them since i was liken in 4th grade.
I found Freckle Juice at a thrift store and got it for my kiddos. They did not like it at all. ?
@Valoree that was the first judy blume book i read!
