This was definitely a good book to start the year with. I’ve read my first two Charles Dickens’ books recently, and they both show why a classic is a classic. This book was great, threading together many things to make a great and moving story.

How I did it: I read. I read this much anyways, it's just nice to keep track of your reading and have something to keep you going. It was much closer this year than last year. I finished in July last year and I only have a little over a month to go this year. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My wife wanted to do this, so I decided to do it with her. We both felt much better avoiding meat. I started eating meat again for a bit because I had RSVP'd for a friends wedding for chicken. Then I went on a camping trip and knew I wouldn't have many options because the friends I was going with would bring tons of meat. Now that that's over, I think I'm going to be leaning towards staying vegetarian. Read how I did it…
We got Christmas money. We got money from a car accident settlement. Now we suddenly have $646.58 in savings. Next, $1000!
