Everyone has their own addiction.  Some crave the nightly program on tv.  Some need that morning cigarette.  But for those like Jessica, some require an escape within the world of text.  I, myself, love the worlds a book can transport you to.  I love the way a comic, or novel, or compilation of illustration has the ability to broaden your mind and expand your thinking.  But my love for books is merely a fascination in comparison to Jessica's desire for books.  Jessica works full time as a photo tech and cashier at CVS pharmacy.  She has an enormous heart for her family, her fiance, and her love for books.  Sweetness and kind truly undermind her nature, but dedication truly describes her love for her one true hobby, reading.  She is an extreme fan of the Twilight series, has read The Chronicles of Narnia series hundreds of time, and harbors a love for the comic adventures of X-Men, especially for the characters Gambit and Rogue/Phoenix.  At any point in the little down time she has during the day or night, you can find Jessica nose deep in a book, escaping reality to replace emotion, space, and time with that of text.  Being one that spends almost his entire time available with Jessica, I can safely say that I know how her mind works.  I know that when she isn't reading, she's making lists of the next book coming out soon, re-reading previous series, and rarely playing video games to escape her day to day turmoil of work for CVS.  As with addictions, everyone has a hobby.  I play video games, hunt, fish, and read comics.  I, like many others, have more than one hobby.  But Jessica continues to stick out fromt he pack.  Her one true hobby and love is reading.  She has her own particular pallets for particular types of books, but in general, her love for adventure through text carries her to all different venues of reading.  I was able to capture this image by catcthing Jessica in her own domain.  She can often be found sitting in her library, re-reading and scanning a multitude of books just for sheer curiosity.  This picture was taken with a tripod with a lowered ISO rating to gain that ominous feeling given off by the towering books and bookshelves.  This gave a feel of an old library, visited only by one person.  I'm jealous of Jessica's dedication to her books.  It is one that is rarely seen in anyone towards any hobby.  She's a living example that reading still continues to open doors to someone's true fascination.
