Re: [LM_NET] author Karen Kingsbury

Karen Kingsbury's books are very easy to read and my students love her books.  They 
are the most popular fiction books in my school's library.  I did meet her at our 
local bookstore where she gave an hour long talk and answered questions.  She 
seemed like a very nice and caring person.  I was very impressed.  
 
If you include inspirational books in you library, I would definitely include this 
author's books.Ria Faber, Librarian Covenant Christian HS, Grand Rapids MI

-0400From: Robin Shtulman <robsht1@GPSK12.ORG>Subject: author Karen Kingsbury Hi! 
Much to my surprise, today I received 2 free books from author Karen Kingsbury. The 
enclosed letter states that she is donating 5,000 copies of her book, _A thousand 
tomorrows_ to honor the memory of her brother, who strongly valued libraries. (What 
a lovely thing to do!) Does anyone know this book or this author? I looked at her 
website (http://www.karenkingsbury.com/) which confirmed my suspicion that she is a 
religious author. I see that the book is a love story -- Anyone have this in a 
middle school? We get so few brand-new books but I do want to be sure it's an 
appropriate read for my kids. I do plan on reading it before I put it out. Just 
thought I'd get a heads up if any of you are familiar with it. Happy day,Robin--
