This blog was created by Denise in September 2008 to blog about writing, book reviews, and technology. Slowly, but surely this blog expanded to what it has become now, a central for book reviews of all kinds interviews, contests, and of course promotional venue for authors, etc

If you’re looking for serene, quiet, and beautiful poetry, look no further than this 50 poems book called Bengali Flower. It brings us beautiful, calm, words from India and Bangladesh. I found that each poem has such a refreshment and brought a vivid picture to my mind. Each poem takes you into a different place and time. A place where your mind can relax and rewind. I couldn’t pick a favorite because I enjoyed them all. The scripture portion of the book is inspiring and spiritual. The author takes you on a journey that in the book is laid out historically, geographically, religiously, and teaches about the cultures in India. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves scripture, poetry, and those who want to know more about India and Bangladesh.
