Day 24... Picture Books.Day 23...Older classics.Day 22...Two books with stellar debuts followed by top-notch sophomore novels. THE MOTHERS by Brit Bennett did a great job of exploring the emotions behind having an abortion without villifying the protagonist. Her next novel, THE VANISHING HALF, tackled colorism and racism.Days 20 & 21... Two books by the same author, Leesa Cross-Smith. I remember seeing WHISKEY & RIBBONS go through my timeline back when it debuted in 2018, and I know it made it to my TBR list, but I've not yet gotten to it. But,I remember @bradeighgodfrey posting not long ago how affected she was by THIS CLOSE TO OKAY, then added it to my library holds list right away, so I guess I'm starting with that one of Cross-Smith's! It's good so far. I am sympathetic to Tallie, a therapist who has not yet revealed she is one to a guy she saves from killing himself. Are we allowed to be human, first, then our vocation? There are POV chapters from the guy, Emmett, too, and I'm not sure of my read on him, yet, but I think I can understand that, since he is drowning in his own darkness (although, the story is not dark). It's definitely leading me to believe I'll want to start her other books sooner rather than later.-
