Ep. 20 - Ashley Sweet, Book Blogger, Bookish, Badass Things

Ashley Sweet is a full-time event planner and lifelong bookworm, currently enjoying life in Columbus, Ohio. After years of facts paced travels for meetings and conventions, the latest chapter of her career has seen a pause due to the pandemic. In search of other ways to connect, learn and have fun, she recently started a 'Bookstagram' and book blog. Here she reviews current and upcoming books, talks about her favorite foods and music, shares her cute dogs, and more. Each week posting a book review and recommendation of a recent read has replaced some in-person book clubs and networking, as well as opened a new world of knowledge and past times.  Ashley believes you are only ever one book away from your next adventure.  There are some upcoming book releases this summer that will be featured and reviewed on the bookstagram and blog close to their publication date.
