Fall can be a cleansing, an ending setting up for a beginning, and so much more. What does it mean for you?

To complete the challenge, choose four of the following idioms as reading pointers/hints/indicators.

1. Fall in Love. (like, attraction, admiration)
2. Fall into the Fire. (destruction, purification, social crisis)
3. Fall into the Flow of Things. (sequence or niche- ness)
4. Fall to the Earth. (fruit and leaves indicate trees; memoirs about parachuting or skydiving, disillusionment and recovery)
5. Fall off the Radar. (missing persons/murder mysteries; lost cities; explorers; ghost ships)

There is so many readers here who have so many ideas. I am sure you all come up really good books to share with us.

Thanks Vanessa and all participants.

I will have to change my selections if I will complete in time--a comic book is a good idea, maybe Shakespeare, may be Austen.
