My initial thought of a new book was concealed with many other thoughts I will try to answer but it might take awhile. Revenge of the Wannabes by Lisi Harrison, 2005, Little, Brown, Poppy edition, in English - 1st ed. There are lots of fashion topics and if you look more into hemi engines the book would be more of a grease wipe. If you no nothing of the many pages from the book of girls, this book is not for you. But eventually after many fights and tears, Alicia feels the need to be back in the loop but will Massie accept her? She dumped Massie and the got her own friends. Then from out of nowhere, Alicia gets her feelings unleashed and she takes it out by getting rid of the old, and grabbing the new by the antlers. To be more descriptive, the story starts when everything seems to be all right. The story seems to be never-ending but the book is not the only one in the series so its not just going to end so don't worry. Massie: who is having a terrible time with the fact that Alicia, her best friend is slowly but surely giving her the finger. It talks about fashion, friends and of course, revenge.Īlicia: who is fed up by the way Massie “owns” the Friday nights and so she rebels and starts to make her own club. The revenge of the wannabes is a book based on a “Normal” teen girls life. So I decided to find a book that I would not normally read and started a journey like non other. As I sat in a lonesome chair, reading a book I realized that there were many different types of genres that I had not even thought about. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Troy, he transforms into a cold-blooded warrior who’s highly skilled with spears. Achilles chooses to fight anyway, demonstrating that he values his honor and legacy above life itself. He can fight in Troy and become famous or stay in Greece and be forgotten-however, if he goes to Troy, he’s certain to die there. Eventually, Achilles learns his mother’s reasoning for sending him away: the gods have prophesized two possible futures for him. Thetis initially tries to keep Achilles and Patroclus apart and keep her son away from the fighting, sending him to Scyros and forcing him to have a baby with Deidameia in hopes of making her son a god. Achilles and Patroclus, a foster child in Achilles’s kingdom, fall in love as teenagers, eventually training together on Mount Pelion before the Trojan War begins. ![]() As a teenager, when Achilles meets and falls in love with Patroclus, he’s honest, kind, and has great skill with a lyre. His battle skills are in his blood: his mother, the goddess Thetis, was raped by his father, Peleus, making Achilles half human and half god. According to prophecy, he is prophesized to attain fame during the Trojan War. Achilles is the prince of Phthia, Patroclus’s lover, and the best fighter in Greece. ![]() ![]() Anyone caught outside the gate after sunset was captured and sent to prison camps. The ghetto gate was opened after sunrise and locked before sunset. Samuel Roffe was born in a Jewish ghetto, which was systematically and strictly controlled by officials.

This contrasts sharply with their work, which is full of angry, awful people, yelling and murdering each other every issue. Both of them have quiet voices, the kind that force you to lean in and really focus on what they are saying. Jason Latour also strikes a pretty imposing figure, and is the co-creator of Spider-Gwen. Jason Aaron is a big guy, with a bigger beard, and is famous for writing bombastic badasses like Wolverine and Thor. What struck me the most was how soft spoken they both turned out to be. At C2E2, I had a chance to hear the two Jasons talk about their work. ![]() ![]() The comic is a love letter to the Deep South, and a critical look all at once. The two creators, Jason Aaron and Jason Latour, are Southerners themselves, with Aaron coming from Alabama (where the comic is set) and Latour growing up in North Carolina.
