Just a little reminder – the giveaway is live TODAY!
And it is definitely live now, I checked across most of the Amazon sites!!!
From Friday the 1st September, through to Sunday 3rd September, (my birthday!) My poetry book, Poetic RITUals, will be FREE to download.
![Poetic RITUals by [Bhathal, Ritu]](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51aCRIpXDlL.jpg)
Get that?
FREE!!!
Click on the link below to take you to the Amazon of your country, and please, download it!
My only request… If you do, and you read… please leave a review!
What’s it about? I hear you ask…
Delve into a book of verse exploring different topics and different genres, all with a RITUal twist.
A collection of poetry drawing on the experiences of the writer, ranging from matters of the heart, love for the family, situations in life and some verses written with a humorous twist.
And so far it has had some lovely reviews…
One from Diana
Bhathal’s Poetic Rituals is a collection of poems that explores life’s rituals, those of a mother, wife, lover, and teacher. There are real gems in here with lovely imagery, humor, passion, and ambivalence. My favorite poems were the lighthearted rhymes about being a mother of young children. A great read to visit and browse throughout the day.
And Chris Graham
Winter, blowing bubblegum for the first time, cats, kids, eyebrows and leg hair are just some of the topics included in this original, poetic and humorous book.
It certainly cheered me up as I read each and every poem.
It’s a freebie remember! Spread the word!!!!
But I Smile Anyway...

Happy Birthday sweet Ritu! How lovely to think of GIVING presents on your day.
FYI, As of 12:45 AM 9/1 Eastern (NYC time), Amazon has NOT yet changed your book to a free download in America either – at least not from the link included in your post above. ::sigh:: Always something, huh?

You know Ritu the $4 will not break me, the $1 you probably get could make the difference one day when you are desperate for a cup of tea. If this had been anyone else I would have ditched the whole idea but as you are a teacher and I know we need all the help we can get I’m happy to have purchased a copy. I hope you sell heaps and have a happy birthday on Monday…..
