A Goodreads user asked Ruta Sepetys:

Hi Ruta! I've read Out of the Easy and Between Shades of Grey, and I loved them both! Here's my question: What's your favourite genre to read? Since you write historical fiction, is that your favourite? Or is it something totally different? Thank you for your amazing books!

Ruta Sepetys Hi Julianne!

Well, I love to read historical fiction but I also love mystery, memoir, and anything with romance. A thread of romance will always keep me reading! :)

A Goodreads user asked Ruta Sepetys:

When my granddaughter was in fourth grade and reading "Between Shades of Gray," a classmate got a surprised look on his face and indicated that she should NOT be reading that book! He had confused the title with "Fifty Shades of Gray." My granddaughter quickly pointed out the difference to him. I am a former German teacher. Will you continue to write about German history?

Hi Ruta! I absolutely loved Salt to the Sea and immediately went to get Between Shades of Grey from my library - I really enjoy historical fiction and wondered, even if you might not write about them, who are some of your favourite historical figures? Jodie
