Right now I've memorized hiragana, then I'm going to move onto katakana. After I finish that, I'm thinking of getting this book

And the second volume of it right after. It has good reviews...but for some reason I'm a little iffy with amazon reviews. Anyway, what do you guys think? Any better alternatives? Or is this the best?
