    About this ebook

    I have an addiction.
    I can’t hide it.
    It’s taking over my life.
    It’s the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep.
    I should seek professional help but the truth is that I don’t want to recover from this.
    I like the voices in my head.
    I like being able to escape reality whenever I want to.
    I like being transported to other worlds.
    It makes me feel alive.
    Yes, I have an addiction.
    A beautiful addiction.
    My name is Halle Hennessy and I’m a book addict.
    ***The Book Addict is inspired by actual events. Please note that this is a short story, not a full-length novel. It is intended to be a fast paced, fun and flirty read.***

      “So, who’s on your list?” Nick looks eagerly at me. I take a sip of my coffee. “What list?” “You know. The list.” He shovels a handful of popcorn into his mouth. “She’s on mine.” He nods toward the TV. “Keira Knightly?” I ask. “Yeah.” “I still have n

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
