This month I am keeping my TBR short. Last month I did read quite a lot, but the last two weeks of July I did not pick up a book at all. I do no want to force myself to read, because I feel like it will make the situation worse.
The Whole Way Home by Sarah Creech
Playing to packed houses while her hit song rushes up the charts, country singer and fiddler Jo Lover is poised to become a big Nashville star like her idols, Loretta, Reba, and Sheryl. To ensure her success, Jo has carefully crafted her image: a pretty, sassy, down-to-earth girl from small-town Virginia who pours her heart into her songs.
But the stage persona she’s built is threatened when her independent label merges with big-time Capitol Records, bringing Nashville heartthrob JD McCoy—her first love—back into her life. Long ago Jo played with JD’s band. Then something went wrong, they parted ways and took their own crooked roads to stardom. Now, Jo’s excited—and terrified—to see him again.

Call Me by Your Name: A Novel by Andre Aciman
The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured than in André Aciman’s frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. Call Me by Your Name is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.

I picked this book up while I was on vacation and since I failed at the booktubeathon this year I want to make sure I read it this month.
Eleanor Roosevelt, Vol. 1: 1884-1933 by Blanche Wiesen Cook
Eleanor Roosevelt was born into the privileges and prejudices of American aristocracy and into a family ravaged by alcoholism. She overcame debilitating roots: in her public life, fighting against racism and injustice and advancing the rights of women; and in her private life, forming lasting intimate friendships with some of the great men and women of her times.
This landmark biography provides a compelling new evaluation of one of the most inspiring women in American political history. Celebrated by feminists, historians, politicians, and reviewers everywhere, it presents an unprecedented portrait of a brave, fierce, passionate political lerader of our century.goodreads.com
This is another vacation read I picked up and have not started yet. This book is the first of a trilogy about Eleanor Roosevelt, I plan on reading one book from this series a month.
