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 […]

February 27, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

The idea for this came to me several months ago, probably during the latest flair up of “indie/self pub is inferior” or something similar.
