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 wrapping up their discussion on Trudie Skies' book, The Thirteenth Hour, and they have SO many thoughts. They also chat about movies they watched as kids that they have a soft spot for, the recent Pulitzer Prize winner, and Jackie Daytona. #Bookstagram #Books #Reading #IndiePub #WhatWeDointheShadows

Hannah's media mentions from last week's episode. She went to the movies and she is going to slowly work her way through #EastofEden! She also checked out some energy vampires with Vampires at Sea! #Bookstagram #Books #Reading

Laura's Media Mentions from last week's episodes. She's deep in her #Manga era still, reading Fullmetal Alchemist, but she's also enjoying some UK Traitors season! Check it out as we discuss more! #Bookstagram #TraitorsUK #Traitors #FullmetalAlchemist

Hannah and Laura are covering the middle portion of Trudie Skies' The Thirteenth Hour and are trying to decide what Quen's "vibe" is. They also discuss a fun reality show that Laura has been watching, and Hannah's favorite read (so far) of 2026.

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.
