Rune and poppy seeds are two types of seeds that have been used for various purposes throughout history. Rune seeds, also known as flaxseeds, come from the flax plant and have been used for thousands of years for their medicinal and culinary properties. These small, brown seeds are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. They have been shown to improve heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote digestive health. Rune seeds can be consumed as a whole or ground into a powder to add to smoothies, baked goods, or as a topping for yogurt or salads. Poppy seeds, on the other hand, come from the opium poppy plant and have a distinct nutty flavor.
“A Thousand Boy-Kisses” was the last adventure Poppy’s beloved dying grandma sent her in. Poppy had to collect a thousand “boy-kisses” from her soulmate in a lifetime. Only the most special kisses, the ones that made her heart almost burst. This scene and all the meaning behind the “boy-kisses” was so sweetly highlighted. It made me think about the actual essence of love, what it is supposed to be: being totally lost in the person in front of you, the fact that all those kisses should mean more… unforgettable memories, unique emotions and the feeling of being “home”. This book, from its very first chapters, aimed my whole heart.
One summers day, after finishing reading her thousandth book on her much loved and treasured Kindle, Tillie turned to her husband and declared, D you know, I have a great idea for a story. and loves to immerse herself in the complex study of World Religions, History and Cultural Studies and creates fantasy stories that enable her to thread serious issues and topics into her writing -- yep, there s more to this girl than profanity and sparkles.
Poppy seeds, on the other hand, come from the opium poppy plant and have a distinct nutty flavor.

Tillie Cole 43 books 21.2k followersHaving been born and raised as a Teesside Smoggie, Tillie, at age nineteen, moved forty miles north to the 'Toon', Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where she attended Newcastle University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts honours degree in Religious Studies. She returned two years later to complete a Post-Graduate Certificate in Teaching High School Social Studies. Tillie, regards Newcastle to be a home from home and enjoyed the Newcastle Geordie way of life for seven 'proper mint' and 'lush' years.
One summers day, after finishing reading her thousandth book on her much loved and treasured Kindle, Tillie turned to her husband and declared, "D'you know, I have a great idea for a story. I could write a book." Several months later, after repeating the same tired line at the close of another completed story, she was scolded by her husband to shut up talking about writing a novel and "just bloody do it!" For the first time in eleven years, Tillie actually took his advice (he is still trying to get over the shock) and immediately set off on a crazy journey, delving deep into her fertile imagination.
Tillie, ever since, has written from the heart. She combines her passion for anything camp and glittery with her love of humour and dark brooding men (most often muscled and tattooed – they’re her weakness!). She also has a serious side (believe it or not!) and loves to immerse herself in the complex study of World Religions, History and Cultural Studies and creates fantasy stories that enable her to thread serious issues and topics into her writing -- yep, there's more to this girl than profanity and sparkles!
After six years of teaching high school Social Studies and following her Professional Rugby Player husband around Europe, they have finally given up their nomadic way of life and settled in Calgary, Alberta where Tillie spends most of her days (and many a late night) lost in a writing euphoria or pursuing a dazzling career as a barrel-racing, tasselled-chap wearing, Stetson-sporting cowgirl. Ye-haw!

1. John - 2 stars
I found "Rune and Poppy Seeds" to be quite disappointing. The storyline felt disjointed and lacked clarity. The characters were poorly developed and I couldn't connect with any of them. Additionally, the pacing was extremely slow, making it difficult to stay engaged with the plot. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed by this book.
2. Mary - 3 stars
I had high hopes for "Rune and Poppy Seeds", but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell short. The writing style was hard to follow, and the frequent jumps in time and perspective made it even more confusing. I also found the ending to be unsatisfying, leaving many loose ends untied. While the book had its moments, it ultimately left me wanting more.

It felt like the author was trying too hard to be literary, resulting in a convoluted narrative. I also found the characters to be uninteresting and one-dimensional. Overall, I would not recommend this book to others.
