Happy New Year everyone!! How did you ring in the New Year?
It’s a really exciting day here at the CMash blog, especially if you are reading this. It means you found me at my new home!!! And to those that did, I say:
Thanks to my computer angel, Gina from Hott Books, I would not be here nor would I be in one piece. This blog is put together solely by her. I have said many times that I am computer challenged, and she will agree that I am, but she has been so patient with me, answering every question, teaching me this new platform and I think, at least I hope, she is still sane lol. I am still trying to navigate and learn my way around here at WordPress, so you may see some bumps in the road, but eventually I hope to figure it all out. What year that will be….I’m not sure lol.
And another day I have been waiting for for months, days of stalking A Novel Challenge, days of looking at a page that is all set up with cute little buttons waiting to be filled in wih titles. YES!!! May the 2012 Challenges begin!!!!
REMINDER:
TOMORROW IS MOVING DAY!!! I HOPE TO SEE YOU AT MY NEW HOME

The end of another year. And how fast it went by. However, it was been a bittersweet year for me. It’s been two (2) years now that I have been part of this great community of book blogging and reviewing and am having as much fun today as I did when I first started. I have met many new friends, read some phenomenal books, have had the opportunity for new adventures and have been honored to host Authors as my guests just to name a few events of this past year. As far as reading, I fell short of what I wanted to accomplish but I hope to do better in 2012.
There were some road blocks that I had to get through this year, but I did, and I want to thank you all for being there for me when I didn’t think I was going to make it to the other side. Your prayers, genuine concern, caring, words of encouragement and comfort helped me through. I will forever be thankful.
Tomorrow is going to be a big day for me.
First, I will be moving to my new home over at wordpress. I hope you all come visit, take down my new address, sign up and/or on, leave me a little comment that the directions I gave or that your GPS worked and you found me. Since I am not tech savvy, it might take me a while to learn my way around and navigate the new platform, so I apologize in advance.
And tomorrow, the day I have been patiently waiting for. I am being very optimistic that 2012 is going to be a better year for me….it can’t get any worse lol…..at least I don’t think so. Remember all those challenges that I signed up for…..all 23 of them….WooHoo…..they start tomorow. One of my resolutions this year is to read more. Because of my personal real life issues, I only read 49 books in 2011…pitiful. There were some months that I read 1 book. So let the challenges begin.
HAVE A SAFE, HEALTHY AND HAPPY 2012 NEW YEAR!!
Hi everyone!!! Oh it feels good to be home!!! I am not quite sure what happened but I have always proclaimed that I am computer illiterate. Lately I have been getting spammed. It started out slowly when I was away from my computer a lot and by my Mom’s side. Then I noticed it was increasing and I just kept deleting the comments, not knowing about the rules. It then got to the point it was happening daily. So I am thinking that is the reason why.
I have lost some important files, but in time, maybe 10 years lol (I said I’m not computer savvy), I will get it back. My google reader is gone so I will be hopping quite a bit this week to get everyone back so I don’t miss ANYTHING!!!
And I have to give a HUGE THANK YOU to my good friend and computer angel
Gina from Hott Books, who has been helping me all weekend, saving my files, setting up a new site, just in case we need to move. She is a doll. Not only this weekend, but throughout the year, whenever I have a tech question, she is there for me. She has become a special friend that I wouldn’t have met if it weren’t for this wonderful neighborhood of book blogging.
In the meantime, I will be moderating comments so I don’t get in trouble again. I hope this does not cause any inconvenience to all my blogging buddies. I have been searching for the “word verification thingy” but can’t seem to locate it.
And you may be asking what I have been doing these past few days. Well besides …………
I tried attempting to recreate some of my lost spreadsheets, reading 2 books, and writing some reviews. I indulged in my comfort food, ice cream, and instead of shopping, I went on the hunt for one of my other addictions. That post will follow…………..to be continued…………..
I know you are probably wondering why I have an image of Halloween on my blog today…right? Well…it’s almost that time again, but the real reason why, is that since Halloween is right around the corner, A.J. Scudiere’s publisher, Griffyn Ink Publishing, is giving everyone a treat, and I didn’t want you to miss out on it!!!
Back in July A. J. Scudiere had stopped by to tell us about her book God’s Eye. You can see that visit here.

ABOUT THE BOOK
(From the back cover)
A demon . . .
Every soul he claims is another chance to advance.
Until he can walk among us, look like us, make us believe in him. The only thing holding him back is . . .
An angel. . .
The rules of the realm bind him from fighting
on the demon’s terms. But this is his chance
to steal something away from the demon,
to steal the thing the demon wants most . . .
A woman who must choose . . .
A woman who has been chosen.
Katharine is suddenly a pawn in a game
where the rules and the stakes are beyond her comprehension.
She must take a side even though she can’t tell angel from demon.
And in the end, they will all be judged.

I want to thank everyone who said prayers for my husband’s surgery to be successful. It was!!! The doctor told me that the surgery went well and he did fine. Our son and I were able to see him in recovery and he was alert, talking, cracking jokes and complaining that he was hungry. Needless to say, however, he was in a lot of pain.
He was then taken to ICU. We now have to wait to see, that since the pressure is no longer on his brain, that he will get back the full use of the left side of his body.
Again, I want to thank everyone for their prayers. comforting words, kindness, and caring. It has meant so much to me and is greatly appreciated. This, I can honestly say, has been the scariest time in my life.
