I just received Michelle from The True Book Addict’s newletter.  One of the items was about this Staples App that determines how fast you read.  She also mentioned how some people feel that they read faster with EReaders than with print versions.  I am one of those people, at least it seems to me that I finish an EBook quicker.  According to the little tool I read 291 words per minute.  However, that was with no distractions.  I am quite sure it would be a lot less when I am actually reading a book.

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!!!!

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.
