message 173: by Haley (new)

Haley Hi! I'm Haley

1) I have a SERIOUS addiction to reading and have ever since I was little. Except for my desk, bed, and dresser, every inch of wall space in my room is covered in full bookshelves, with another on its way because I don't have enough room for all the books I own.
2) I've always liked writing but I recently decided I want to be an author. I'm more than halfway through writing my first book and the people I've asked for feedback and to help me edit really think I could go somewhere with it
3) I'm nineteen and I've never had a boyfriend (and I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing- some of my best friends haven't either)
4) Good books stick with me long after I put them down. I often find myself thinking about them at the most inconvenient times :)
5) I am easily the best procrastinator you've ever met! :D
