It was somewhat of an odd week here, and it all started with me getting a spontaneous black eye on Monday. I was just sitting there talking to someone when I suddenly felt a pain as if being hit under my right eye, then it grew purple and really sore. It was weird and lasted a few days. Everyone keeps saying it was a ghost. lol.
I can’t believe we’re already into October. The days are flying by. I did pretty well on the reading front and read 14 books in September, so yay for that.
FYI – Trish @ Between My Lines posted about tips for writing reviews and has a free download that helps with that.
Oh, and today is my birthday.

I know, right? She probably did some kind of online voodoo crap. And thaaaaaaaaaaaank yoooooooooou! π
Ahhh, so my plan worked!!! BWah hahahaha
Happy birthday Lil nugget!
Ok, I don’t know where that come from. I think I was channeling Chelsea handler.
I’m sure it was your fault somehow. And thank you, Sweet Reamer. lol.
Maybe that’s how you got a “spontaneous ” black eye, hmmmm?
Mm a spontaneous black eye,does not sound fun. Hope you got lots of sympathy. Happy Birthday – enjoy.
Happy Birthdayyy! I’ve had the Edge of Never on my kindle for a long time. Been meaning to read it …
Woah, a spontaneous black eye? That is crazy! Yeah, I am going with the ghost theory on that one too.
Happy reading this week!
Sorry you got punched in the ye by a ghost – that sucks. Seriously that is crazy though. Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Have a great day!!!
Uhuh sounds like you pissed off some spirit! That’s crazy! Next time punch back π
Thanks for sharing my link. And happy birthday, hope you make it a fantastic day!
What ghost did you piss off for them to give you a black eye? I hope you’re feeling better now, Christy. And maybe get it checked out?
Your new books look really good, Christy, I hope you’ll enjoy them all.
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.
Happy Birthday π Hip hop hooray π That is a ghostly encounter with the black eye it is October so what do we expect LOL. Have a great week π
OK that is really weird, just getting a black eye like that. It does sound like a ghost just punched you! Very odd…I have the first Dinosaur Lake book on my Kindle waiting to be read. I really hope there is some good dino action!
Oh I can’t wait for the new Moyer book, I love the series! happy reading!
How weird re the black eye?! Did you have to go to the doctor or anything in case it was a blood vessel? I had a bruised eyeball thingy once when I’d been sick and had some strain from vomiting. That was weird as well.
Oh well, I hope you’ve made the most of it and made up all sorts of wonderful scenarios!
First: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DORK!!!!
Second: Bwahahahahahahaha, spontaneous black eye… bwahahahahahahahahaha…. only you… bwahahahahahahahahahahaha….. karma somewhere in there… bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *choke, cough*
Third: I saw Tryst and immediately thought of you when I read the synopsis. You’re becoming predictable…
Fourth: Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
So odd about that black eye! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTY!!!! I spotted Triss’ post about review tips. Even though I’ve been writing them for years, she had some good points and it will help keep mine from sounding like the same thing over and over.
So many birthdays today, crazy!! Many happy returns and also that black eye sounds bizarre!! Makes for a good story though!
Have a good day!
Happy birthday. The black eye is alarming to me because it occurred without trauma. It sounds like you had a subcutaneous hemorrhage under your eye. Better there than your brain. Googling it makes me pretty sure you should at least ask your doctor about it. ourhealth.com/conditions/i-cannot-get-a-diagnosis/black-eyes-with-no-cause
And another site says you should see a doctor if the black eye occurs without trauma causing it. Still another: The causes are many, from trauma, thin blood (aspirin, ibuprofen, coumadin, …) to other systemic causes such as liver dysfunction and lymphomas. At age 27, it is very unusual and you should see an internist with a good systemic work-up.

I can’t believe that happened to your eye. It looks like you had a good week for books. I hope you love all your new books.

Happy Birthday!
I hope your eye is doing better.
Sounds like you had a great September as far as reading goes. Hope you have a great week!
A spontaneous black eye, oh my goodness! I can’t even fathom how that would happen medically, there’s nothing that could be the cause of that could there? Were you hit in the head at all, even days ago? That’s kind of creepy Christy, the pain then it bruising so quickly. That must be one super cranky spirit.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTY! Hope you’ve had an fabulous day filled with presents, cake and surrounded by family and friends who’ve spoilt you rotten. And no angry unwanted visitors punching you in the face <3
WHAT?! YOU SUDDENLY GOT A BLACK EYE, AND NO ONE PHYSICALLY ATTACKED YOU?! That’s so creepy and so odd and so bizarre and so interesting O.O I believe in ghosts, mind, so the ghost-theory may not be too far-off… I’ve encountered some pretty weird shit myself!
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Now surround yourself with love, family, friends, and books π
Great haul- Tryst looks like it will be a good one. Happy reading and have a great upcoming week.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRISTY!!!! I hope you’ll have a fantastic day. π
Happy happy Birthday!!
And ooo being hit by a ghost, fun. π Hope you have a fabulous day!!
Happy Birthday!!! And I’m so sorry a ghost punched you in the face. How dare it! π

Eek! That spontaneous black eye sounds really scary! I wonder how that happened, the explanation of it being a ghost actually makes sense, lol.
I lvoe Trish her blog and thought her review riting tips were great! I didn’t download the pdf as I already have a good technique for writing my reviews.
I hope you have an awesome birthday and get lots of cake and presents! I hope you have a great week!
It was a ghost! Yep. *nods vigorously* And Happy Birthday!! π
That’s one way to get a black eye. Seriously, trying to tell your friends, “I didn’t do anything!” haha
Happy birthday!!
OMG, did you piss off an invisible man? Happy birthday, you crazy chick, and have a wild time! hugs x
haha my son almost broke my nose the other night, so i somehow avoided black eyes this week π
Ooo, happy birthday! That’s odd about the black eye, weird.
I’ve seen A Brightening Sky and Mercury Retrograde on a few blogs this week.
Happy reading and have a great week!
Wow! That’s so strange about what happened with your eye. Hope it’s all better now. LOVED Game Changer! Happy Birthday! I hope you got to have cake and get new books! π
Happy Birthday! Sorry about the black eye, I didn’t mean to drop your voodoo doll on the face. Oh, I mean, wow, spontaneous black eye? Weird.
Dang girl. Who did you piss off to get that black eye? That’s crazy! Happy birthday! Glad your eye is better π
Oooh… at least I know how I get my black eyes! Lol
I like the look of Tryst and Mercury Retrograde. I hope you enjoy them!
Happy birthday! Sorry about the eye, though. That seems kind of weird. Glad it’s ok now. Have a great week!
