Judy Blume is currently seeking suggestions for a potential screen adaptation. The renowned children's book author recently shared that she's had meetings in Los Angeles to discuss which of her dozens of published works should be turned into a movie or series. "I think the time has come," Blume wrote on Twitter.

So which of my books, kids and/or adult would you want to see adapted for series or movie? I ask because I'm in LA meeting with many talented people. I think the time has come.

Despite her prolific career, only a few of Blume's books have been adapted for the big screen, namely Tiger Eyes and Forever. That still leaves several beloved books, including Blubber [2], Deenie [3], and, of course, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret [4].

Fans were quick to suggest the aforementioned titles, and one person suggested Netflix buy the rights [5] to all of her books and create an anthology series in which each season portrays a different book. After receiving such impassioned responses, Blume shared a follow-up tweet [6] thanking her followers and clarifying that nothing is set in stone yet, however, "it was a great week of talking about the possibilities."
