## Resource

LaCie and Sloane hop on live to test out StreamYard, but of course the conversation turns into a full bookish breakdown. With Black Romance Book Festival less than a week away, they talk through what they’re currently reading, the chaos of Kindle WhisperSync, Kimberly Brown’s "Dillinger Family" series, reckless heroines, complicated men, toxic relationship dynamics, and the books that have stayed with them over time. From Beverly Jenkins’ "Indigo" to D.A. Young’s "Sweet Obsession", Brenda Jackson’s connected family worlds, Chenell Parker’s "When It Comes Back Around", and Keisha Irvin’s "Torn", this episode is part reading update, part book club debate, and part love letter to Black women authors who know how to write unforgettable romance.
