Now, who are these two chicks who decided late one night to put this site together and how did it come to be?
Mindy is a rabid bibliophile who loves to read the printed word. She blogs on Books Complete Me and Forbidden Reviews as well as here. She first realized that she loved AtU and particularly Elder when she borrowed Megan's copy of the book. After reading it, Mindy just HAD to talk about it with SOMEONE, and so the first of many book related chats occurred. Since then, there has been a steady stream of books going back and forth between Mindy's home in the great state of Illinois and Megan's on the edge of Ohio's Amish Country.

Megan is a SAHM who reads and blogs in an attempt to both keep her sanity and keep from losing any brain cells while she cares for her four children (all 7 yrs or younger), who she affectionately calls "the monkeys." Megan's blog is Amethyst Daydreams. Megan first read Across the Universe after winning it in a blog giveaway. She entered mostly because the cover was pretty and in her favorite color, purple. After reading the entire book straight through in one night and then re-reading it over the next week after that, she needed to discuss the book's awesomeness with someone and she found her book twin in Mindy.
Mindy and Megan routinely chat about AtU, the upcoming A Million Suns and what bombshells the lovely Beth Revis has dropped about AMS in interviews or in response to Twitter questions. It occurred to them that maybe other people out there would like to get in on the discussions too. So it was decided that together they would publish a blog that would encourage discussions of the books and make a central place for fans to find information on the series. Now Beth has her own sites but she already has a full to bursting schedule and compared to her, the girls here do not. The point of the fan site is to start a grass roots movement to encourage others to read Across the Universe and to keep discussion of the books flowing. The site is opening with a bang on July 1, 2011 with a stop on a giveaway hop and a read-a-long that if no one signs up for will consist of Megan, Mindy and Megan's Husband.
Our site design was done by the AMAZING Pixie from Page Turners Blog! She is a genius and Megan is so lucky to have met her at BEA this year!! Thanks Pixie!!
