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.

📚Thrilled to help with the cover reveal of A Murder Most Fungal by @adrianmgibson !! Cover artist @ninjajo_art and cover design by Adrian M. Gibson. 📚 Hannah and Laura are covering the second half of The Secret Place by Tana French and questioning how teenagers could possibly have time to be so dramatic. They also chat about a great romance series Laura recently read, Veronica Roth's novella series, and a movie that brings Hannah joy that she still can't believe wasn't a direct to DVD production. #Bookstagram #DublinMurderSquad #murdermystery #books Hannah and Laura are starting Tana French's The Secret Place! They try to determine if the book's prep school is realistic and if teenagers are actually this annoying. They also chat about Hannah's current venture in Stardew Valley, and the best movie Laura has watched so far this year. #bookstagram #books #tanafrench #stardewvalley Today on OWWR Blog, we have an #AuthorInterview with @kevinknabeauthor ! Kevin takes us through his book The Fae Conspiracy, an urban fantasy with dryads, fae, and compost facilities! Do we have your interest yet? #UrbanFantasy #Bookstagram #IndieAuthor #Books Today on OWWR Patreon, we are covering episode 2 of #TheDresdenFiles, The Boone Identity. There's lack of female representation, confusion over plot, and Lamb Chop PLUSHIES?!?? Hannah and Laura had the absolute delight of recording LIVE at Dead Bird Brewing Company in Milwaukee, WI to chat all about The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton!!! They break down the book's plot, whether the matriarchal societies depicted "work" for them, and try to decide if this book should be included in the Star Wars Canon. @deadbirdbrewing #starwars #Bookstagram #books Hannah and Laura are discussing the Oscar-nominee, Bugonia, in today's episode! They discuss the fantastic acting, do their best to sort out what is actually happening in this movie, and try to decide whether they actually like Bugonia or not. It's all confusion. #bugonia #analysis #movies #oscars n today's episode Hannah talks about a delightful fox book that she read, and Laura gives an update on her "year of movies." They also chat about the characters and themes of Tana French's book, Broken Harbor, and Hannah shares a review she wrote about the book after her original read. A huge thank you to @deadbirdbrewing for hosting us this Sunday for OWWR first LIVE RECORDING!! We truly appreciate their hospitality (and food). We loved talking Star Wars, feminism, and book swapping!!!
