On Wednesdays We Read Podcast

Welcome to OWWR Pod, and by that we mean, On Wednesdays We Read

We are two best friends who are doing a deep dive into a book series, one book at a time.

New year, new book! Hannah and Laura are digging into the first half of Faithful Place by Tana French. They chat about French's love for the main character, her ability to crush us with a family drama, and Laura guesses whodunnit at the end of the episode! They also chat about some manga series that Laura has been enjoying, an incredible audiobook that Hannah listened to, Hannah's thoughts on the final season of Stranger Things, and how Laura has reached her "sexy quota" for the year already. We are wrapping up the year with a BEST of episode! What have you read, watched, and enjoyed?? Today we as re covering the last half of The Likeness by Tana French! This wild ride kept us guessing, and Hannah already read it!! We are starting BOOK 2 OF THE #dublinmurdersquad series! We dive into Cassie's story as she gets to do what every cop dreams of - pretending she's a dead woman! Join us as we laugh and discuss this amazing book! Hannah and Laura are traveling across the United States via BUS to find Zeus's stolen lightning bolt. They recruit Sara and Lilly of @fictionfanspod to help them on their quest. That's right! It's a TV Tuesday covering the first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians!! Hannah, Laura, Sara, and Lilly chat all about the show's casting, how faithful the adaptation is, and.... compare it to the Percy Jackson movies. Over on the Blog we have @acwonderlandwrites!!! She is on to talk to us about her hockey romance series, One Shot and Summer Shot (book 3 out next year!!) So happy to dive in with @fictionfanspod on our review of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief!! #bookstagram #percyjacksonandtheolympians #percyjackson Hannah and Laura are welcoming back to the podcast, Sara and Lilly of @fictionfanspod fame! They join Hannah and Laura to discuss a book that none of them have childhood nostalgia for, The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan! They get into the truly important parts of the book: the accuracy of the transportation and whether or not it's inappropriate to have magical beings that are 20+ years old travel with children... Hannah and Laura are wrapping up their discussion of Tana French's In the Woods by digging into the book's characters and themes. They talk about the impact of true crime, the way audiences react to portrayals of murderers, and how accurately mental illnesses were depicted in this book. Hannah and Laura also chat about Taskmaster, High Country, and musicals where the actors give it their all.
