“Even though Hartford has a celebrated literary history, thanks to Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe, Connecticut’s capital city today has no general-interest bookstore. It hasn’t for years, and isn’t likely to get one soon.” (via @sarahw) Gah, so depressing!

Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia of The Printed Page. Check out her blog for this week’s MM post and to see what other bloggers got in the mail.
I got two ARCs this week, one from the LibraryThing Early Reviewer program, and another through a Shelf Awareness ad I found. And another textbook! The textbook is actually a decent one (and one I’m going to keep), so I’ve listed it with the others.
I’m hoping the Jimmy Choo book’ll be good; most of the fashion history/biographies I’ve read (or tried to read) before, er, weren’t. But there’s always a chance this one will be different, right? Right?
I’ve finished reading The Little Sleep, but my review won’t be posted until closer to the release date. So keep an eye out for it at the end of February/beginning of March, if you’re interested!
What did you get in the mail last week?
