The Blume Saloon is a sort-of book club with Alison Michael & Jody Worthington. Alison’s a creative strategist (and aspiring voiceover artist), and Jody’s a graphic designer/art director, but we’d gladly give up our day jobs to chat Judy Blume all day long. Join us each week as we cover a few more chapters from a favorite Judy (or Judy-adjacent) novel. Currently we’re reading “Summer Sisters”. And here's what we've already read:

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
Tiger Eyes
Then Again, Maybe I Won't
Deenie
Forever…
Blubber
Wifey
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
Domestic Arrangements
Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great
The Cat Ate My Gymsuit
