246. These Are the Books That Made Us

<p><strong>This is a story about a book Christie loved and Lisa-Jo did not.</strong></p> <p>Actually, here are stories about quite a few books! Because these are the childhood favorites that helped make us the women we are.</p> <p>In this week&#39;s conversation, we discover just how much our favorite books reveal about our deepest selves and our relationships. Christie and Lisa-Jo trade memories and titles from <em>The Secret Garden</em> to <em>Lord of the Rings</em> and quite a few you&#39;ve probably never heard of, let alone read!</p> <p><strong>Listener invitation: Take a shelfie!
