Reviews | But I Smile Anyway...

Two More 5-Star Reviews! (And Another Vote Appeal!)

I went onto Amazon.com to find 2 more 5 star reviews of my book, Poetic Rituals, which I felt I had to share!

“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.” – Diana – Ritu’s poems are original, witty, humourous and full of life. A must read for all those who love wit in verses!” – Diana – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been requesting you all to vote for the cover of my book, but I felt I ought to at least let you know I have some lovely reviews too, and that I am eternally grateful to you as my voting Peeps, and to my wonderful reviewers, Shivangi and Diana!

Anyhow, please, if you can, vote here.

The Zombie Dogs are whipping my butt right now! 175 me to 341 for the Rabid Pups!

Votes, shares, anything would be so appreciated! Thank you so much!

Poetic RITUals – Reviews!

It’s been a manic few weeks, and after the launch of my poetry book, Poetic RITUals, I haven’t really been touting it, or really promoting it, because, well, life got in the way!

A massive thanks to those bloggers who have reblogged my original posts (Erika, Judy, Rich, Sue, Annette, Hugh) to name a few) , and those who interviewed me and arranged guest posts. (Al, Sally, Chris) For them, I am truly grateful!

I was unaware, until Judy mentioned that she had reviewed my book on Amazon, that I had had any reviews! I was expecting a notification from Amazon, to be honest, so now I understand that I have to keep checking myself!

And I have not one, but TWO 5 star ratings!

Judy wrote:

This book is jam-packed with fun, smiles, laughter and even a bit of the Awww factor. Ritu’s writing is refreshing.and honest; she puts her heart and soul into this book, and it shows. A must-read, especially if you need perking up!

And the other review,

I love this book. My daughter and I have been reading a few poems from it and cannot wait to read more. Lots of funny bits. I can really relate to some of the poems. Some of the best poetry I have read. I’m truly inspired. This book is a must read.

I am so touched!

And eager to hear from anyone else who may have bought it, and read it.

What do you think of it?

Please let me know, and if possible, leave a review on Amazon!!!!
