How I did it: Check on Yahoo, most areas have a freecycle list just for their specific area. Then it's easy, just post what you are willing to give away, and see if there is anything you want to claim for yourself. Read how I did it…
How I did it: This year, I focused more on reading whole series of books, which made achieving this goal really fly! I read the first seven mysteries in Cleo Coyle's "Coffee House" Mystery series, and I also started reading the Harry Potter series from beginning to end.

I ordered this book on Paperbackswap.com on a whim. But once I started reading it, I got right into it and really enjoyed it! This is the third book of stories featuring Inspector Seymour of Scotalnd Yard, and the books take place in the 1912-1913 time period.

Really fun read! Want to read the first two books in this series now.
Not such a bad day, considering it was Friday the 13th!
