0:00.0	Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast.
0:03.0	I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend deeply theological
0:07.6	topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.
0:12.0	Hey friends, welcome back to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast.
0:17.0	I am your host, Jamie Valmay.
0:19.0	Jason, my husband is joining me today to talk about one of our
0:22.6	favorite topics, which is reading. Yes. Okay, so we're a little bit late, actually, on this
0:28.0	episode. We usually do this kind of middle December or so, but our December was jam-packed.
0:34.1	It was a touch busy, you could say. It was busy. So we're here in January now doing kind of a little bit of a breakdown of 2023.
0:41.3	We did kind of talk about our reading in 2023 already so we can link to that episode.

1:15.9	hit our reading goal, which is fine. We've talked about this before. That the reason that we set
1:20.4	reading goals personally is because we want to read more. We want to pick up more books. We want
1:25.4	to say no to TV more. We just, we really want to be reading. And so we set a reading challenge solely for the purpose of self-motivating ourselves to read more to pick up books more. So in 2022, I think I read 67 books somewhere around there.
1:44.3	Okay.
1:44.6	And my goal was 104 bucks.
