Water for Elephants is one of my favourite books. Haven’t read the other one but I’ll look for it now.
They’re both excellent choices.
I loved water for elephants. The Orphan train was harder to get through. I actually gave up on it and went back to it a couple days later. When I finished it, I was glad I did. It wasn’t a book I could binge read, but overall it was a good story.
