Booksie's Shelf, February 23, 2014

Spring is thinking about putting in an appearance in North Carolina.  We've been in the high 60's this week, flirting several days with the 70's.  While the temperatures are supposed to cool off again this week, you sense that the weather's heart isn't into cold anymore, and that things are ready to move into warmth and growth.  Capping off a great week, my beloved Tarheels beat their archrivals, Duke, on Thursday night, always a cause for massive celebration.  Another cause are the books that made their way through the door this week:
