Do you have any magazines you read regularly?

Last year, I subscribed to Popular Photography and the Economist. I buy the occasional special edition cooking magazine and when I go on trips I'll pick up magazines like Rachael Ray.

I find magazines pretty pricey though. I was happy to learn that through my library we have access to zinio libraries - and can download unlimited magazines. Hundreds of good titles too. Worth checking out if your library has something similar.

I've pared down, I used to have a ridiculous amount of subscriptions ... arguably, I still do! ;) I read Time and Newsweek ... and my guilty pleasures are People, Us Weekly, Shape and Redbook. I like Real Simple, Better Homes & Gardens, Marie Claire and Cooking Light but never really got around to reading them, so I just let them lapse. I also read a lot of books and there are just so many hours in the day.

Yes, I subscribed to smart parenting (printed magazine) for more than 5 years, but in October of last year, they decided to go full digital already so I was a bit lost since it's the only magazine that I read religiously.

I have a subscription to a recipe magazine and Australian Geographic (which is a bit like National Geographic). I go through the recipe ones quite regularly but I'm so behind on the other one - I never have time during the day to read anything, and when I attempt to read when I hop into bed I usually fall asleep after a page or two!

I used to be a magazine junkie but I've pared down a lot. I used to love several cooking magazines until I switched my eating habits so now they don't apply to my lifestyle. I still get a few quilting magazines and Real Simple. I pick a few up throughout the year if one catches my eye but that's about it these days.

Rangefinder, which is a photography magazine. My favorite is Vanity Fair because they have really interesting stories.

I can't bring myself to pay the prices... some are over $10! I picked them up at the store once in a while in a "oooo look!" moment, but in the end never buy any cause when I really think about it, everything that's in that magazine I can find on pinterest. lol

I read my mother's HGTV mags. Lots of good inspo and pretty pictures in there.

I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly, HGTV and Real Simple. In some ways I find EW easier to keep up with since the weekly format has made it a habit for me to read. They have a digital version too but it's just not the same.

I absolutely love magazines! I got a 4 magazine special for $12 for the year for Family Circle, Rachel Ray, Better Homes and Gardens and All Recipes (which is only quarterly).

I'm going to have to see if our library has the ability to check out magazines electronically if so....Score!!!! Thanks for the idea to look.
