Podcast Description
Intro Ep1: What or shall I say who is Lex.Btw.TheLines... I'm just a #Pantropesual being just giving my little two cents on books I've read. Dark Romance, Billionaire, Mafia, Stalker Romance, Fantasy, Thriller, pretty much anything with smut or morally grey men. Don't get it twisted, though I love a good RomCom, and I'm entering into my paranormal era along with so many others. We all know how hard it is to find a local book club that reads what you're into without giving you the side eye. So I've created a space where I can discuss the type of books I absolutely love with like-minded people. Hey, "Book Besties."If you're into discussing or reviewing books, this is a safe space for you, no judgment. We will discuss likes and dislikes without bashing an author or their work. We will agree to disagree peacefully, or you can kindly, gtf .~Lex.Btw.TheLines
