It’s Raining Reviews

This morning I woke and received such a pleasant surprise!

Annette, who is a most inspirational person, a fantastic Haiku-ist (is that even a word?!), a promoter of positive thinking, who even has her own radio show, emailed me to give me the heads up on a review for my book, Poetic RITUals.

It was her review, and it means a LOT! Such sweet, positive words, and another 5 stars!

And the lovely words written by Wendy on a blog post were also up there too!

It now means I have 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews on Amazon.com and 6  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews on Amazon.co.uk, and 1  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Amazon.de.

That is 11 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews altogether. I am so humbled, I can’t quite explain it!

If you have managed to read my book, I would really appreciate a review on Amazon,  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ or not, it all counts!

But seriously, a HUGE thank you to you all Peeps!

thanks

Sue’s photo prompt this week…

And my take…

“Now dat,” Dermot said, indicating to the streak of rainbow, suspended in front of them “Dat is de work of a master.”

“A master what?” Paddy asked “A master of stupidity?”

The Local Leprachaun Society had been meeting here at this pub for many years, whenever one of them had created a new rainbow. Every nuance of the phenomenon was discussed, minute details picked apart.

Dermot sighed. “He’ll be here soon enough.”

Sure enough, the door swung open and Seamus sauntered in. He sat down and was promptly thwacked around the head by Paddy.

“What was dat fer?” he scowled, rubbing the back of his balding pate.

“Feast yer eyes on dat beauty, and you’ll see fer yerself!” Paddy pointed to the rainbow.

Seamus trained his eye on the colours, and realisation dawned on him.

“De curve, man! Where’s de curve?” Paddy was in full flow “Ye know de rainbow needs an arc! It helps us hide de crock of gold from de hunters! Optical illusions, dat’s what we are about, and you go and create de world’s first feckin’ vertical one! Might as well place a flashin’ sign above it, saying “Nick Me!” ya eejat!”

And another thwack was felt on the back of his head…

Picture Battle

My dear Blog Sis, Erika, challenged me to this Picture Battle.

It’s pretty simple.

Find a picture that is funny. A photo that makes you laugh!

It’s tough, there are many photos out there that are funny!

But I went with this one…

And I challenge any of you to post a funny photo. Anything that raises a smile on this earth is a good thing!!

 

Review Wednesday – Poetic Rituals by Ritu Bhathal

An absolutely lovely review by Wendy of my book, Poetic RITUals!

img_1865I enjoy reading funny or clever verse, mostly on the internet, in blog posts etc, when I come across them,  but books of poetry are rarely my thing.

I ‘picked up’ an ecopy of Poetic Rituals when it was discounted because it’s something different and an easier read in between fat novels and autobiographies.

It is really great to open a book and be surprised in every good way by the contents. I read through the poems at one sitting, delighted with each one to the next. They reminded me in some ways of Pam Ayres work; witty, funny, poignant, some slightly tongue-in-cheek. What impressed me most was their unfailing observations of family life, relationships and the frustrations of daily life. One is about not being able to get a printer to link to a computer – I could wholly identify with that one!

Read this book, raise a smile…
