Summary
Last week, I interviewed Joy about what she remembers as her favorite fiction titles and why she loved these particular heroines.

And I had chosen each book because of the great vocabulary and wonderful character and attributes and choices each wonderful heroine had made.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest |
| 0:13.0 | privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every |
| 0:18.6 | week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement. And I am just so glad |
| 0:24.6 | that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me. |
| 0:38.3 | Hi my friends, welcome to Add Home with Sally and friends. I just have all sorts of friends |
| 0:43.2 | in my podcast lately and most of them live in my home. But many people, it's funny because |
| 0:49.3 | many people have asked me as I'm releasing a waking wonder and I'm talking about books and ideas |
| 0:55.3 | and this and that and the other. They want to see every single book in my bookshelf. And we do |

| 1:14.2 | life we're rushing through. Oh, welcome Joy. It's nothing to be on your show. Joy is my three children, |
| 1:22.3 | three miscarriages. Pray, please God, please God, give me another child. Joy is that child. |
| 1:26.8 | Had her when I was almost 42. Couldn't imagine life without her. We are kindred spirits. We are the |

| 1:44.1 | about books and we have more books. It is ridiculous how many books all of us have. We've got to |
| 1:49.7 | want to many use bookshops. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe 10 to many. But anyway, as I look at |
| 1:58.1 | the landscape of many of you for the first time, homeschooling or maybe you're just still in the |
| 2:04.2 | first couple of years or whatever, so many people tend to overdo it and then they kill themselves |
| 2:10.3 | and then they get exhausted and then they burn out and they think, I don't know, it's wrong with me. |
