TBR Tuesday: Reads in progress

#TackleTBR! The Tackle your TBR Read-a-thon is underway, and I’ve joined in! I haven’t . . . you know . . . finished anything yet, but here’s what’s in progress.

A Way Back to You by Emily Gray Clawson

For two and a half years, Annabelle, a young widow with three small children, has been stuck in the past. Numbed by grief and overwhelmed by the responsibility of raising her three small children alone, she agrees to let them spend the weekend with a friend while she tries to get some much-needed rest at her parents’ home. But the next morning, Annabelle is suddenly sixteen again—and it just happens to be the worst day of her teenage years.

As she relives the drama of high school life, Annabelle realizes that her future husband, Mitch, has just returned from a mission and is living on the other side of town. While getting Mitch’s attention is more complicated than she imagined, Annabelle discovers that she is stronger than she has been willing to admit, and there just might be a future for her after all.

Emily is a good friend—a critique partner, in fact—but we didn’t meet until this book was already sitting in the slush at her publisher. Soon after, she got her acceptance, and after a whirlwind editorial “romance,” she was on the shelves!

I’m in the acknowledgments (woot!) but this is actually the first time I’ve read this story. I’m only a few chapters in, but I’m totally captivated! I can’t wait to read more!

And on my electronic TBR:


Pivot Point by Kasie West

Addison Coleman’s life is one big “What if?” As a Searcher, a special type of clairvoyant, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she is able to look into the future and see both outcomes. So when her parents tell her they are getting a divorce and she has to pick who she wants to live with, a Search has never been more important.

In one future Addie is living with her mom in the life she’s always known and is being pursued by the most popular guy in school. In the other she is the new girl in school, where she falls for a cute, quiet artist. Then Addie finds herself drawn into a murder investigation, and her fate takes a darker turn. With so much to lose in either future, Addie must decide which reality she’s willing to live through . . . and who she’s willing to live without.

I keep setting this one down, but I think about it (and have even dreamed about it!) when I can’t read it. I’m about halfway through the book, and I think I see where some of the plotlines are going (and if they don’t go this cool way, I might be disappointed :\ ). I’m enjoying this one, too, with its fresh idea and fun execution!
