It’s a new #Decades day.
I am thrilled to welcome @davegoodman.bsky.social to the Decades Library

Dave has selected five unmissable books, published over five consecutive decades, which I will add to my Decades Library.

Brace that TBR pile, these are great selections.

I’ve started my 2025 reading with a revisit to the excellent “in Death” series by JD Robb
