From a poet and celebrated spoken-word performer comes a debut poetry collection that takes readers on an empowering, lyrical journey exploring truth, silence, wounds, healing, and the resilience we all share.
 
Dear Girl is a journey from girlhood to womanhood through poetry
It is the search for truth in silence
The freeing of the tongue
It is deep wounds and deep healing
And the resilience that lies within us
It is a love letter
To the sisterhood

My thoughts about Reality Girl by Jessica Hildreth

This post may contain affiliate links. Meaning, I get a commission if you purchase through my links, at no cost to you. Read the full disclosure here.

Recently out of college, broke, jobless, and without a boyfriend, Lou Whitson is recognized by a talent scout at a football game, and then offered the opportunity of a lifetime. To be the star of a reality television show. Along with it, $500,000 in prize money. There is a catch, but it isn't much. Especially considering her life's lack of love. Live with six different men, one a month, for six months. Then, pick one to marry for an additional $500,000. A Navy SEAL, a biker, a jock, a surfer, a business man, and a billionaire. Without hesitation, she agrees. This is her story. It's smoking hot, sexy, funny, and will take place at the pace of one book a month for six months. Each book has a satisfying ending (never a cliffhanger) that will leave you grinning for more.

2020 Challenges: September Update

2020 Challenges: September Update

September was a better month. Not great, but better.

The Blog Audit Challenge 2020

This is a challenge I created aimed at improving our blogs. You can find full details here in case you missed the introduction post. 

Before I jump into talking about my progress with the September tasks I wanted to share some good news with you all. September saw the highest number of views to my site since it's creation. I'm thrilled with the results. I hope you're noticing an increase in your own traffic too. 

I'd also like to point out that I'm actually posting less to my site than I have in the past too so don't think it's connected to putting out more content. It's not. It's about putting out the right content and leveraging it to get the best results. 

Now on to the September goals. The focus was to do with developing readership.

Task 1: Optimise your comment system

I'm already happy with my comment system so didn't actually need to make any changes for this one.

Task 2: Make sure you reply to all comments

This is one of those tasks that is easy for comments on recent posts but can get tricky for older posts. With new posts I get a notification when someone leaves a comment and so it's super easy to click through and reply. This doesn't happen for older posts. For those I need to go through and approve them. These tend to be where spammers try to post and so it can be quite time consuming going through them all.  Unfortunately this can mean that it takes me a while to reply to the genuine comments left of those posts. I've started going through the list once a week now to try and keep it more under control and make sure the genuine commenters get a reply. 

3. SEO comments

I'm usually quite good at SEO in my comments both on my own site and others. When you've had some experience with copy writing it comes naturally after a while. The hardest part of doing it is making the comments unique. I often find that readers will leave similar comments on a post. I want to try to give each person a personalised reply. Sometimes this is easier said than done. 

The Audiobook Challenge

This challenge is was created by Eline from Lovely Audiobooks. I'm doing it as a year long challenge. 

Last month I told you I downloaded my first audiobook ever from Net Galley. Well I listened to it! Finally making progress with this challenge again. That said, I don't particularly like the Net Galley app. Maybe I'm just too used to Audible? If anyone has any thoughts about this I'd love to hear from you. 

Audiobooks listened to in September:

• Dear Girl by Anji Mayrock

The A to Z Reading Challenge

Next up is the A to Z Reading Challenge. 

Better progress with this challenge too.

Books read this month:

R- Reality Girl by Jessica Hildreth

Armed with a Bingo

I'm also doing the Armed with a Bingo challenge.

Books read this month:

• Dear Girl by Anji Mayrock (Poetry Collection)
• Reality Girl by Jessica Hildreth (Book of your choice)
