Hey everyone, it’s Allison!
I really want to step off on the right foot in 2013.
Can you help me decide which book I should read first?
1) Out of Easy by Ruta Sepetys
It’s 1950, and as the French Quarter of New Orleans simmers with secrets, seventeen-year-old Josie Moraine is silently stirring a pot of her own. Known among locals as the daughter of a brothel prostitute, Josie wants more out of life than the Big Easy has to offer.
She devises a plan get out, but a mysterious death in the Quarter leaves Josie tangled in an investigation that will challenge her allegiance to her mother, her conscience, and Willie Woodley, the brusque madam on Conti Street.
Josie is caught between the dream of an elite college and a clandestine underworld. New Orleans lures her in her quest for truth, dangling temptation at every turn, and escalating to the ultimate test.
2) Mind Games by Kiersten White
Fia was born with flawless instincts. Her first impulse, her gut feeling, is always exactly right. Her sister, Annie, is blind to the world around her—except when her mind is gripped by strange visions of the future.
Trapped in a school that uses girls with extraordinary powers as tools for corporate espionage, Annie and Fia are forced to choose over and over between using their abilities in twisted, unthinkable ways… or risking each other’s lives by refusing to obey.
3) The Look by Sophia Bennett
Can she be a supermodel and a super-sister? She finds her answer in just one look.
Two sisters, both beautiful in different ways: Fifteen-year-old Ted has got “The Look.” That’s what the scout for the modeling agency tells her, and she can’t believe her luck. But just as Ted’s jet-setting off on her new career, Ava is diagnosed with cancer.
Can Ted be a supermodel and a super-sister? Or will she have to choose between family and fame? With their worlds turned upside down, the girls have to look past appearances, look deep inside, to figure out what really matters.
So, which one should I read next?

Out of the Easy! I’ve requested this one for review (crossing my fingers that I get a copy) the summary sounds so good, plus I’m really loving historical and a book set in the 50’s sounds so intriguing!
My What’s Next post
I selfishly think you should read Out of the Easy. I loved Between Shades of Grey and would love to hear what you think of her latest novel.
I vote Mind Games. But I’m a totaly Sci-fi junkie, soo……
Out of the Easy! It is SO good. It was my second favorite read of 2012!
Haven’t read any of these, but my vote goes to Mind Games.
I’d appreciate a vote on mine!
Ditto on the not having read these, but put in your shoes, I’d pick Mind Games as well.
I haven’t read any pf them, but my vote is for The Look by Sophia Bennett. I don’t know anything about it, but the blurb got my attention 🙂
Out Of The Easy for sure.
Jenea @ Books Live Forever’s What’s Next?
OUT OF THE EASY was really good, though not as good as her debut. I’m really excited for MIND GAMES too! So tie? 😛
I’m in favor of Out of the Easy. That cover, *swoon*
Mind Games looks amazing so I vote for that!
Be sure to check out my What’s Next!
My vote goes to Mind Games!

ummm…..there is nothing to read first except Out of the Easy. Nothing else.
Out of the Easy! I’ve already read it and it was amazing! So beyond what I could have expected.
I’m reading Out of the Easy next! Join me!
Oh man, all of these are such good choices!
I’d say go for the third one – The Look. I’d love to hear about it as I haven’t heard anything so far!
Out of the Easy! I loved Ruth’s first book, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one 🙂
And by “Ruth’s” I meant “Ruta’s.” Sometimes I can’t type to save my life.
Out of the Easy was amazing. I will read anything Ruta Sepetys writes.
