Happy Blumesday!


Some of you have maybe heard of Bloom's Day, which celebrates James Joyce. Well, I've ready Ulysses, twice, and I still don't get it. Another author, who I do get, and love, is Judy Blume. So, some writers decided she needed a day too. I couldn't agree more.

Happy Blumesday!

  4. Awesome. I saw her a while ago on Tavis Smiley's talk show, and she's everything you'd think - smart, witty, and warm.

  5. Judy Blume = much better than James Joyce!

    I never read Ulysses, but I did have to read A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man -- also twice -- in college. And UGH!

  11. Her books are a delight.

  16. What a lovely idea! Judy Blume is a gem. She has tackled to picks that still haven't been dealt with as honestly and well. LOVE her!

    And Ulysses. Twice. Wow. Hat's off. There isn't enough ale in Dublin to make me do that to myself!

  18. Happy Blume's Day!! Judy Blume is one of my favorite authors. I loved her books when I was a kid and teenager, and I still love re-reading them. I really enjoy her adult novels, too. She's an amazing writer!

    Happy reading and writing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines

  22. Not an author I've read, but if she has her own day maybe I should crack a book, eh? ;)

  23. I adore her!
    She was about an hour away and I would have loved to see her for a signing, but we were out of town. Darn it.
