Hi Ruta! I'm a book blogger online and I love your books. My favorite book of yours is, "Between the Shades of Gray." Will there be a sequel following Lina and Andrius picking up where the epilogue left off? I would love to see how Lina and Andrius meet again, and get a description of their married life. Lina and Andrius have the best love story and I would love to see more of them in the future!

Ruta Sepetys Hello Rye!

I would LOVE to one day write a sequel where we see Lina and Andrius reunite. I'm crossing my fingers that one day I'll be able to write one!

Thanks for blogging about books and please thank your readers too! :)

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?

Emily W asked Ruta Sepetys:

While Between Shades of Grey was set during a significant historical event (WWII), Out of the Easy does not seem to be in the same way. What made you choose the 1950s, and in particular a brothel, to write about?

Hi! Had you ever tried to write a manuscript before Between Shades of Gray? Also, what is your best tip for writing dialogue? xoxo Jess
