I’m taking a brief break from all things reading and writing in order to jump on a bandwagon.
Yep. You read that right.
This bandwagon is called the HECK-YEAH-I’m-excited-about-Beth-Revis’s-ACROSS-THE-UNIVERSE! bandwagon. It comes complete with a theme song (uh, also known as the Beatles song by the same name…) and a GORGEOUS picture to ogle. (See also: the gorgeous, ogle-worthy picture of her book’s cover right next to this very paragraph. I know. You’re probably ogling already.)
The book itself won’t be out until January, but you can get a sneak peak at the first chapter. And trust me, if you haven’t already? You totally want to.
You might be wondering why I’m blabbering on about this, so I’m going to direct you to four places right now.
ONE: Melissa’s blog post about how awesome this book looks, based on the first chapter and the cover.
TWO: The first chapter itself, which is online. You can either click over from Melissa’s blog (which I would recommend, because her enthusiasm is both warranted and fun to read) or just click here.
THREE: This fantastic post about first chapters, written by Beth Revis herself.
and
FOUR: If you’ve checked out all the other links and find yourself looking for more ways to pass the months until January rolls around, feel free to click here for my You-Tube cover of “Across the Universe.”
Hope you enjoy the links! What other books you guys are looking forward to reading?

I like all of this.
ALSO. OMG. JANUARY?! I WILL DIE FIRST.
I AM SO EXCITED, I APPARENTLY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TURN OFF MY CAPS KEY.
I’LL ALLOW IT. …. !
THOU SHALT NOT DIE, if I can help it.
And I can.
🙂
First, I agree with everything you and Melissa said.
Second, I’m envious of your musical talents.
That is all.
