​Have you ever wanted to read a YA book that takes place on a mysterious island? I have (and I also wrote one). The islands are always full of mysteries, no matter if the book’s genre is contemporary, magical, science fiction, or a combination of these.

So if you’re dying to read a YA book with a setting on a mysterious island, check out these five options below.

Ahh! I’m in the middle of reading Ghost Wood Song by Erica Waters right now. I’m actually in the middle of reading three books and always pick up the book I FEEL like reading at the moment. Do you do that? However, I’m loving this YA book and find the premise and characters sooooo intriguing.  

It was released in July 2020. If you haven't added it to your Goodreads list, you should!

This isn’t a new release, but if you haven’t read the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, you’re missing out. Add Uglies to your Goodreads list now so that you don’t forget. The books’ genres are: YA Science Fiction and Dystopian. Keep reading to see my review and a summary about Book One.

Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyer is high on my list to read--or listen to. I'm third in line out of 26 people in my local library that are waiting to listen to the audio version. I was eighth in line, so I'm slowly climbing the ranks. I haven't bought it yet, but that's because I still have books on my shelves that I need to be read. 
 
But after listening to the audio, you can bet your butt I'll be grabbing a physical copy and adding it to my collection. It's a must for me.  Have you read it yet? Let me know!

As soon as I finish listening to the Midnight Sun, I'll be sure to post a review!

Most of the books I read are YA, however, since I’m currently writing an MG (middle-grade) book, I’ve made it a priority to read more MG. To be a better writer, I always need to read more in the genre and category I’m writing in. So when I was on the hunt for an MG book, I wanted to find some new releases, as well as old favorites.

​As I researched new releases, I discovered The Miraculous written by author Jess Redman.
