The 'Through the Decades' challenge focus for August is the 1980s. You are welcome to include books published in this decade as well as books set in this decade. I am also 'counting' books ABOUT events in the decade as set in said decade.

(For those who would like to keep track, a thread for all the year's Through the Decades books can be found here.)
