Christmas in Sweetwater County - When I started this book (based on the title) I did not think it was going to be twisting and turning and adding layers into the plot while building and evolving the characters. With dysfunctional families being brought together it worked.

7. Read a book where the character(s) must go back before they can move forward. - Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

I have finished mine that was fall back in time and I read the Canterbury tales by Chaucer and it was a amazing read so poetic with all the different characters and their point of views and how Chaucer was witty and funny and satire and honest and moral in all these tales of fables and stories and histories and it just made me want to get on a horse and ride with this pilgrimage of all these different and loveable characters.

Update/expansion to my previous message (#66). If possible, i'd like to up my total goal to 5 books for this challenge, please.

FALL BACK CHALLENGE
Duration: October 1 - October 31, 2015
Progress / Goal: 6 / 5

10/24 Update: Challenge Completed!

1. Fall Back in Time – Up Jumps the Devil - not so much time travel as seeing history (and let's hope it's fiction!) through the eyes of lucifer himself...

2. Fall Back to Sleep –

3. Fall Back in Love – A Perfect Spy - this might be an odd choice for this category, but as Mr. Canterbury says" "we can only betray what we love". He did take a second chance (and a third, and more), but in the end he was unsuccessful in having everything he loved.

4. Fall Back on Family – I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings This story about family, and what that means, and how it ties us was beautiful. I'm glad i read this book.

5. Fall Back on Good Friends – I Am Pilgrim - sometimes, you have to count on old friends to stitch you back together after you save the world.

6. Fall Back on Strength – Ready Player One - sometimes we learn that you don't need to be level 99 to start... or to finish

7. Fall Back – The Sum of All Fears - step back from the button! While Jack Ryan may have stepped forward, it was everyone stepped back that kept the world from ending.

8. Fall Back! –

9. Fall Back on Old Habits –

10. Fall Back, Spring Ahead –

Thanks for hosting this challenge, Mary Pat!
