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.

Hannah and Laura are beginning their 10TH INDIE INTERMISSION!! They cover the first 40% of The Thirteenth Hour by Trudie Skies, gush over the worldbuilding in the novel, and try to figure out why the book isn't more popular. They also chat about a romp of a book that Laura recently read, a movie about dance teams that Hannah loved, and of course, more Taskmaster. Hannah and Laura are thrilled to be chatting with author K.R. Lockhaven about his new book, Fool! They discuss the book's characters and themes, writing a shocking twist, and the role that humor can play in books. Be sure to pick up Fool, which released on September 14th! Hannah and Laura are FINALLY wrapping up the "Year of the Dresden" 2026 edition. They do their best to discuss the characters and themes of Changes by Jim Butcher and speculate on how the series will be going forward. They also chat about a movie Laura didn't enjoy, a book Hannah thought handled motherhood in a nuanced way, and their thoughts on the latest series of Taskmaster (so far). #Bookstagram #Books #Reading #Reads #DresdenFiles Today we are celebrating the release of @elliotsloanauthor's Good and Faithful Sinner over on OWWR Blog with an interview! This book is a dystopian feature filled with complex world systems, dynamic characters, and queer characters fighting for their personhood against a neo-Christian government. And you can go read it NOW and read more about it on the blog! Hannah and Laura are delving further into Changes by Jim Butcher and doing their best to figure out what is actually happening. Laura is delighted to know that her plot prediction skills are improving and Hannah enjoys sharing some Jim Butcher/Dresden Files factoids. They also chat about some movies that Laura loved watching recently, an interesting sci-fi book they are both connected to, and Hannah's participation on a panel at Mitchell Street Arts. We are giving away a SIGNED COPY of Trudie Skies Thirteenth Hour!!!! One lucky winner will get this just in time for #IndieMission!!!!! A special indie mission where we read the entire trilogy! Hannah and Laura feel like they are following a man who is going everywhere, and yet, accomplishing nothing. Yes, they are covering the middle portion of Changes by Jim Butcher and they are still confused. They also chat about some great audiobooks, some of their favorite moments on WILTY, and authors making the jump from non-fiction to fiction. #bookstgram #books #harrydresden #sff #fantasy Harry Dresden is going through a ton of changes and Hannah and Laura aren't prepared. They struggle through the first third of Changes by Jim Butcher, chat about a memoir that Laura wants everyone to talk about, a historical fiction book that has interesting themes, and a great album from one of Hannah's favorite artists. Thrilled to be able to help reveal the cover of Rusty Throat, Burning Heart by @adamcbassett !! This is book 2️⃣ in his Copper & Ash series! This beautiful cover was illustrated by @gorchart 🧡 Rusty Throat, Burning Heart is a post apocalyptic romantic fantasy novel that will be available for purchase on March 27, 2027. 📚
