The Pisces Flavors
As noted before, the time when Pisces officially started? See the horoscopes for this week. But as noted for those special Pisces flavors?
I pulled a card from the Dali Deck, just to amuse myself with surrealist imagery. He chose the Judgement Card of the Major Arcana to represent Pisces.
Judgement. Like judgement day?
“Since the more fair and crystal is the sky,
The uglier seem the clouds that in it fly.”
Henry Bullingbroke in Shakespeare’s King Richard II (I.i.39)
In the image? The gold gilt edge reflects light one way, and the other side of the deck shows a deep shadow.
Light and dark. The trial. A test, bested, as the oracle predicted.
Current events, notwithstanding.

What’s so fun, for me, yeah, the old buddy replying? He was there.
That’s a blast from the past.
“Verisimilitude” is defined as “feeling true.” The semblance of truth, in literature, as I understand it. From the start, one, the author taught/teaches English in a school in Texas. The novel is set at a high school in the Houston (TX) area. The author is also an accomplished YA author, with novels and at least one movie to her credit. Still teaching language? The set-up, it certainly feels real.
Some point maybe around halfway through the novel, I had looked up the author’s website, followed her on various social media platforms, and mentally composed a love letter. The location is essentially a big public high school in Houston, and while I’m not from Houston, I have been through there a time or two for shows and games. Then there’s the shared history with the characters, the bands, the placements, the location, just so effectively wrought for me, flawed, human characters I cared deeply about.
Tugged at my jaundiced, burnt heartstrings. Brought back deep memories from various high schools. Reminded me of old teachers, the joy, and what they lived for.
Too bad it’s fiction, imagine a world where characters do the right thing without a prompt.

British novels. Manners.
“Grief is a patient thief and steals far more than people who have never known it realize.” Page 23.
Billed as a thriller.
Does descend into some well-regulated horror. Novel gripped me, for sure. Murder and mayhem, carefully wrapped in UK manners.
Nice twist at the end — guess I didn’t see that coming.
