C. J. Daley’s Top Reads of 2024

December 18, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

Another year is coming to a close if you can believe it… and with all the books I’ve managed to read this year, it’ll be another trial narrowing it down to just a top ten. I won’t be splitting it by genre or anything like that, as picking them is hard enough as is, so […]

October TBR / Spooky Reads

September 26, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

Here’s my over the top October TBR. Those that have followed my Instagram for years already know, but for those new here, I always try for shorter reads for Spooky Season, but then I choose 900 anyway… with the job I have I will probably end up doing way more audiobooks too. I figured I’d put […]

Review: Curse of the Reaper by Brian McAuley

Decades after playing the titular killer in the 80s horror franchise Night of the Reaper, Howard Browning has been reduced to signing autographs for his dwindling fanbase at genre conventions. When the studio announces a […]

April 3, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

Similarly to my original Intro to Indie posts (which you can check out here: Fantasy, Horror, Sci-fi) this is an idea I’ve been brewing for months.
