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 joined by the amazing FONDA LEE to discuss her newest book, The Last Contract of Isako! They discuss writing complex family dynamics, believable technological advances, grief, and how Fonda's own work background inspires her writing.  Hannah and Laura have gone to college, become corrupted by their roommates and then entered into bad relationships with British bad boys.  That's right! Today's TV Tuesday is about the movie After. Laura ends up raging out for the majority of the episode... much to Hannah's delight.  We have an amazing author interview coming up this week!!! On Wednesday, #FondaLee will be joining u to discuss her newest work, The Last Contract of Isako!!! No shock, we loved it! Hannah and Laura are wrapping up this indie intermission by chatting about The Heavenly Sword with the author herself! Alice Poon delves into the characters and themes of the book, her writing inspirations, and shares what readers can expect from the second book in the duology, The Earthly Blaze! Hannah's Media Mentions from this week's episode!! Laura's Media Mentions (leaving a few out, so check out the episode!) from this week's pod! It's still indie intermission time!! Hannah and Laura are covering the second half of The Heavenly Sword by Alice Poon, digging into the characters and themes. In other news, Hannah is doing some investigative work into Pedro Pascal's career and Laura is delving into a new anime. Hannah's media mentions from last week's episode!! Laura's media mentions from last week's #IndieMissiom Episode! Some deep conversations on #TheBoys, #Monster, and #rivervalleyboardgame #Bookstagram
