Cassandra | 5832 comments FALL BACK CHALLENGE
Duration: October 1 - October 31, 2015


“Fall Back” is not simply a saying for daylight savings time! We start many sentences with those two words and each has a different meaning.

1. Fall Back in Time – Like to reminisce about the past or get lost in your memories? Read a book about travelling back in time, a historical fiction novel or a non-fiction history book.

2. Fall Back to Sleep – Is there anything better than falling back to sleep when you are still tired? Read a book where a character realizes big dreams or where a character’s dreams haunt or otherwise affect their waking hours.

3. Fall Back in Love – There is nothing like having love return after a dry spell! Read a love story where the characters are taking a second chance on love – successfully or unsuccessfully!

4. Fall Back on Family – No matter what your definition of family is, there is nothing like being able to count on them! Read a book about a family’s togetherness or a family’s dysfunctionality.

5. Fall Back on Good Friends – Many are the experiences we share with good friends! Read a book about an amazing or difficult experience shared by friends.

6. Fall Back on Strength – Sometimes we have to reach deep within ourselves or rely on the strength of others to overcome obstacles. Read a book where the main character finds the strength (internal or external) to overcome difficulties they face.

7. Fall Back – Sometimes we must retreat or give ground in order to achieve our goals and/or find peace. Read a book where the character(s) must go back before they can move forward.

8. Fall Back! –Sometimes you just need to let someone know they need to calm down and back off. Read a book where the main character is able to overcome another character who tries to block their success.

9. Fall Back on Old Habits – Our routines can help us or keep us from growing. Read a book where the main character struggles to change his/her ways or where his/her habits help to solve problems for him/her or for others.

10. Fall Back, Spring Ahead – This daylight savings time adage helps us to remember which direction to set our clocks. Read a book about time travel, that takes place in the fall or spring, or that has fall or spring in the title.

Thank you to Mary Pat for creating and leading this challenge!

message 17: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra | 5832 comments Veronica, one of our challenge rules is that only one book can count for each task. That said, you can count a book for one task, but if you find later that it fits better for a different one, you can move it and put a different book in the original task slot. Does that make sense?
