Shanyn from Chick Loves Lit came up with this awesome feature for Mondays.
Shanyn says, "“Recommend A…” will have a new prompt every week, which I will have posted ahead of time on the Recommend A… page. All you have to do is Recommend with me on Mondays, following the prompt, and link me so I (and everyone else) can see what you’ve recommended!"

This week I Recommend A...First Book in a Series
"A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder. Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone-one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship-tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn't do something soon, her parents will be next.Now Amy must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there's only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming."
I adore this book and highly recommend it to everybody. I know I was hooked on this book from the very first chapter, it's extremely intense. The book really makes you contemplate how much faith a person would have to have to leave one world behind for the promise of another.
My favorite quote from the book:
"It is like a piece of my soul has been lost, empty, and it is now filled with the light of a million stars."
I haven't read A Million Suns yet, but I really enjoyed Across the Universe! Beth Revis created such an interesting setting on the Godspeed.
ReplyDeleteCool, yeah I loved the setting of the ship too. You should definitely read A Million Suns, it's a really great sequel and has plenty of surprises. :)
DeleteAcross the Universe has been sitting in my TBR pile for ages - must read :)
ReplyDeleteNice, I hope you enjoy it. :)
DeleteDang. People have told me about this book but I've never really given it much thought. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, I'm always glad to promote this book. :) It's one of my favorite books that I've read since I began blogging.
DeleteThis book, I'm sorry to say, was not a win for me. It really just stressed me out. But I'm one of those people who has to actively enjoy their reading. And I could see how it had appealed to others...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Sorry to hear you didn't like it, it is kind of an intense book and has a rather claustrophobic setting so yeah probably not for everyone. Definitely appealed to me though. :)
DeleteOooh, yeah! I read this book a couple of weeks ago and totally loved it. The first chapter was really fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that you loved it, (make sure to read the sequel too, it's so good.) Yep, I really adore the first chapter because it just draws you right into the story.
DeleteI LOVED this book! Great choice! I cannot wait for Shades of Earth to be released! I need my Elder fix :) Thanks for stopping by my post!

Thanks, yes I cannot wait for Shades of Earth either because it looks like it should be quite an ending. I've loved both books so far and am hoping that the ending is great.
DeleteThanks for stopping by here too. :)
If I didn't have so many books to read at the moment, I'd grab this book right now! I didn't give it much thought when I first heard of Across the Universe, but a lot of people enjoy it. I have to read it for myself sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteCool, hope you enjoy it when you do get around to it. :) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI've heard so many things about the Across the Universe series, and the concept sounds really intriguing to me. I'll have to check it out soon enough! Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can't say enough good things about this series. Yes, definitely worth checking out.
