While I really enjoyed this amazing memoir about humanitarian action within Doctors Without Borders, it eventually got really depressing and far too medical-jargon-y for my taste. Tell me which YA novel I should read next! Choose one of the ones I have out from the library or your own recommendation!

I'm about halfway through this book and liking it so far. I'm going to space out the reviews of the books I read over March Break so you'll see this one probably next Friday. I didn't go to my local library this week, so there wasn't an In My Mailbox post on Sunday. Hopefully this weekend I'll have more books to share.

So embarrassed that I'm featuring the same book two weeks in a row. Hoping to make more progress this week/weekend with my "to-read" pile.

I've barely started this novel. Theatre week plus studying for my upcoming theory test has eaten up a large chunk of my time. Hopefully I can read through a few chapters tomorrow.
