which I still think is an amazing book, even though I read it when I was ten and i'm now into my twenties.....

What is the phrase in (I think Spanish) or was it mexican that means when the lizards run??

I can't find my copy and all the translation sites don't seem quite right...

haha, I never would have come up with that, but I just wanted to come in and appreciate tiger eyes and all judy blume books in general. I can still remember certain phrases from just about all of her books that I read. I take that to be a sign that they were good or something.

I don’t recall Tiger Eyes! And just yesterday I was shocked when someone didn’t get the reference when I said “My biggest association with the name Sheila is that Judy Blume book.”

I’ll still put out my deepest appreciation for Judy (and Paula) though.

thank you

i must, i must, i must increase my bust

i don't think i read tiger eyes. wasn't that the one for older children with sex in it?

i think my fave was deanie. was it called deanie? about the model who gets scoliosis and ends up getting it on with ..buddy brader (?). ahaha

Yeah, that was Deenie. And i think the uhhh "sex" book your refering to is Forever.

Hah, Forever. That was my porn when i was 13. They actually made a film of it.

I loved Are you there God? It's me Margaret. What did Paula Danziger write? She's familiar to me...
I didnt read much Judy Blume after are you there God?...., and forever because i moved onto Virginia Andrews.

Then i discovered real books. But man, Judy Blume was/ is a great writer for teenagers.

The Pistachio Prescription, The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, There’s A Bat In Bunk Five, and at least one more book that I know I read but can’t recall the name of right now. Bat in Bunk Five is a sequel of sorts to The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, focusing on that book’s main character as she spends a summer working at a camp, and I recall that one of her campers was the little sister of the main character in another of her books.

judy blume, how i love you. i don't remember tiger eyes but i bet you anything i read it.

i'm taking a paper at uni on african american freedom struggles atm and i swear to god i had a revelation the other day in class about how i learned about segregation from a judy blume book (shut up, i'm not an american) when i was nine or so.

to whoever mentioned deenie - i totally remember the bits about her 'special place' and her masturbating in the bath with a flannel. is that right? or am i just really dirty?

also, i cannot tell you how happy i was to stumble upon a copy of summer sisters in my library in high school. TORRID.

you know i totally couldn't really stand any of Judy Blume's books - i guess being a catholic and weird and not at all with it, i thought mastubation was kinda gross and reading about it was grosser, and i was always like - who are these girls? do they even exist? GROSS!

but

Tiger Eyes is one of my alltime ALLTIME favourite books - it fucking kills me and i used to cry when i read it for the (twelth) time when i was a kid.
