Ugggh, reading slump alert!!!

So I know it's probably not the best thing in the world when you decide after a lengthy deliberation that you want to start a blog about books and are actually in a reading slump. Yes, at this very moment in time, I'm in a reading slump that I want to get out of fairly lively. I just don't know how?
Usually once I start a book I become so engrossed in the book that I simply can't put it down. I've had many a sleepless night where I've stayed up reading because the book has been so amazing I need to know what happens next. Which is one of the reason why I seem to eat books! Which leads to reading becoming quite the expensive hobby. But I love reading so much so I'm constantly buying books and looking for new books to read.
After usually reading a book from cover to cover within a day or two, you can see why I'm at a loss at the moment. I just can't find the motivation to read!!! It's highly annoying and frustrating. So right now I'm struggling through Beautiful Darkness and it's not even that it's an awful book or anything. I really enjoyed the first book of the series, Beautiful Creatures, but then...I saw the movie!! Shocking!!! That deserves an entire rant post of it's own.
Maybe that's the reason why I can't seem to get into Beautiful Darkness, because I'm mentally scarred and extremely confused after watching the worst movie adaptation of a book ever! I really don't know... alls I know is that my passion for reading needs to return PRONTO!! I want to read, but I can't, I just find myself getting bored or very easily distracted. It's the strangest feeling ever.
If any of you guys can offer any solutions, I would be so so grateful!

My extremely awkward first blog post!

Ok, so here it goes...
After nearly two and a half hours on the phone having chats with my sissy, I, Sinéad, have decided to start a BLOG!! Louise, you have convinced me to give it a go. So here it is, my own personal blog!

I'm not really sure how this is going to go but I can only imagine this page will be filled with all the things I love; books, fashion, beauty, music, movies, photography and anything else that takes my fancy.
It's kind of embarrassing, but I've just googled "What to write for your first blog post?" and basically everyone says "Be yourself!" which I guess is perfect since it is my blog, my ramblings and my musings. I think this is going to be a bit of a challenge for me, but sure hey, I may as well give it a go.
I'm on Facebook and Twitter and I'm pretty much addicted to both but I always feel like I can't express myself on those sites. It even annoys me when people post their life stories as statuses on Facebook. I pretty much have something to say about everything but I usually hold back to avoid annoying my friends and followers. At least people will expect it here on my blog, right? They're obviously interested in what I have to say or else they wouldn't be reading it - or so I like to think!

Hmmmm, I think that's enough for my first post...Short and sweet, like me! I joke!

It's really awkward, I don't even know how to sign off... "over and out", "peace and love", "you know you love me, xoxo Gossip Girl".. actually cringing right now! I'll have to work on it!

But for now, I shall use a simple Goodbye!
