I won a copy of Across the Universe (in ARC form, naturally) by entering a contest on Facebook. Super excited doesn’t even begin to explain how I felt about finally winning something. Not only was this happening around Christmas, but it came just in time for me to consider it as a Christmas present. Anyway, I am not typically interested in scifi-ish books, but this dystopian world Beth Revis created sounded interesting to me. Immediately after starting ATU, I was drawn in. I highly recommend Across the Universe and I hope that you go out, buy it, and enjoy it too.
Now for some awesome stuff!! The book is out as of TODAY! I felt that since I enjoyed reading it so much, I needed to spread the word about the release. Without further ado, have fun exploring the awesome stuff available for you to check out. ENJOY!
Here’s a little taste of what Across the Universe has to offer.

And here’s a Message from Beth Revis!
Want to see even more about the awesome ship Godspeed? Head on over to the Across the Universe website! There is quite a lot to check out so get ready to have some fun. You can see each level of the ship in all its glory. I’m really fascinated by the Feeder level, for some reason. I definitely suggest you go to the Downloads page and pick up some awesome ATU wallpapers and/or avatars! I already have the beautiful cover as my background. Heck yes!
