Urban Whispers: The Lacie Knight Chronicles21 Maj

Festival Season, Micro-Tropes & a Stalker Under the Bed

We are BACK, cousins! Long time no see. In this jam-packed episode of Urban Whispers, me (LaCie Knight) and my @Sloane_Bueller finally got back together to chop it up after a wild month.

We're getting into the inaugural Chocolate City Lit Fest in DC and Pedals & Prose Fest in St. Louis, because girl, festival season is HERE. We're spilling all the tea on the event logistics, the app line-jumping situation (yes, I was the one accidentally breaking the line, no I am not sorry), and why the Midwest desperately needs more Black romance love. I'm also telling y'all about taking LJ to see Bruno Mars for her 15th birthday and Sloane is recapping the Boyz II Men tour stop where Spectacular came down to the floor in her section and almost ended somebody's marriage.

Then we're getting into our recent reads and y'all, we read a LOT. Mel Dahl's "Bread"is single dad romance done right (because y'all already know how I feel about a single dad romance), KC Mills' "Love Me or Leave Me Alone", Endiya Carter's Danger series, and one absolutely unhinged read where a whole stalker was hiding under the bed the entire time. I cannot make this up.

We're also reacting to Talia Cadet's micro-tropes trend on TikTok and getting into our personal favorites: secret property purchases, instant karma that does NOT include a body count, the integrated friend group, and yes, the toxic "drag you out of the club" moment we will defend until the wheels fall off.

And before we go, I'm putting y'all onto "Where Secrets Find Solace" by Kimberly Brown, the book I just finished that had me in my feelings, plus why her whole catalog deserves a spot on your TBR.

Grab a drink and pull up. 🍹✨
