What we're reading

I get so stressed when I have to make this decision, so I'm letting you do it for me.

It's my pick at book group tonight, which of these should I nominate?

Flowers for Algernon

Burial Rites

The Light Between the Oceans

Please don't add to my anguish by suggesting others. It's hard enough getting it down to three.

Can you say a little bit about each one, say you can't choose between them and let the group vote?

I don't know anything about Burial Rites, but either of the other two I would be keen to read.

Haven't finishes the Light between.. just couldn't get into it but may try again.

I liked burial rights best out of those three. Hauntingly beautiful.

Flowers for Algernon is the only one I've read, so I vote that!

I've only read The Light Between Oceans, but I really enjoyed it (although the end made my cry).
