"Re-read from childhood.

Finished Book #1 The Golden Compass and it’s even better than I remember it. How this series is not more popular than Harry Potter I may never understand." — Aug 27, 2026 11:32AM

Blake’s Notes & Highlights

The Poppy Fields by Nikki Erlick

3 highlights

“Grief. The moment when you realize that your world and the world are entirely separate. When your world has come to a grinding halt, when you’re drowning and flailing about, and the world just rolls on without you.”

Blake’s Quotes

“Anoshe was a word for strangers in the street, and lovers between meetings, for parents and children, friends and family. It softened the blow of leaving. Eased the strain of parting. A careful nod to the certainty of today, the mystery of tomorrow. When a friend left, with little chance of seeing home, they said anoshe. When a loved one was dying, they said anoshe. When corpses were burned, bodies given back to the earth and souls to the stream, those left grieving said anoshe.

Anoshe brought solace. And hope. And the strength to let go.”
― V.E. Schwab, A Conjuring of Light
