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.

There’s a tree at the end of my road (it stands alone on the edge of a small wood).
Every year someone adds a string of Christmas lights and they keep it lit for the festive period.
We call it the “Festive Bush” and it brings such joy.
