Bookanistas: There's a NYT Best Selling Author Among Us


Congratulations are in order for Bookinista member Beth Revis whose debut novel Across the Universe hit up the number seven spot on the New York Times Bestseller List! All together now: WHUT! WHUT!

Now...grab a tissue, stop what you're doing and read this post. Oh, and then come back.

Did you not tear up? I couldn't help myself. It has been so amazing following Beth's journey and we're just thankful we get to hop on the Beth Train two more times with the next two books in the series and who knows how many times beyond that!

Beth, thanks for creating an incredible world on board a crazy spaceship. And for Amy and Elder and all the others. Your book is nothing short of amazing and you deserve to be right where you are.

Could not agree more. Beth is such an amazing person--the success could not happen to anyone more deserving. And it feels like an honor to know her and be along for any part of her journey.

HUGE CONGRATS TO BETH!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS!

Beth rocks. I remember when I read the very first chapter, it was like almost six months ago now, and I was so impressed. I'd only been following her blog for a little while at the time, but I started to hit her up, asking for her help with query critiques on my blog when I did them.

She responded every time, and always made time to stop by and lend a hand. A NYT bestselling author, emailing little old me. Some things are right with the world people. Some things.

Beth rules.

Congratualtions!

Don't call this a comeback

So it’s been a minute. Or 10. Or truthfully more like 2,102,400. At least we think that’s how many minutes there are in 3 years, but let...
