Thank you so much for sharing Maghound.. I loveee magazines, too, so me and my boyfriend signed up for it. For right now I’m going to be getting Real Simple and Nylon, and he’s getting some Xbox magazine, haha.

I subscribe to US Weekly (to get my celeb gossip fix), Cosmo, and Maxim. Yes, the men’s magazine. I like to know what they’re thinking and laugh at how ridulous some of the articles are.

I would like to look into Real Simple or O, something different and lighthearted.

reading through the comments I find it very interesting how many of us are Cosmo’s target audience but don’t like it. I love their celeb interviews, but the articles that may as well be titled “how to manipulate your man into doing whatever you want” make me sick.

I spent a summer working in a coffee kiosk right outside a gas station and read everything from OK! to Ladies Home Journal (dude. don’t mock. Reba was on the cover.) I stuck with Women’s Health, Redbook (kind of a “mom” mag, but I love it), and Glamour. In fact, my Glam subscription doesn’t run out until like 2013 because one of my colleague’s sons does magazine sales for a football fundraiser every year, so i just renew it for 2 years. In the 6 years I’ve been reading Glam I’ve probably run across 2 or 3 articles I didn’t like.

I also pick up a People mag every Friday either on my way to work or at lunch. It’s my Friday treat. : )

I’m a magazine junky myself! But the funny thing is that I haven’t had any subscriptions in ages. I’m thinking that I need to remedy that pretty quick. I’m going to subscribe to Real Simple, Glamour, and In Style…

I subscribe to Yoga Journal, Flare and Loulou. If I want something in between I will pick up Style at Home, Canadian House & Home or Shape.

I get InStyle and Real Simple because they had $5 subscriptions on Amazon. Otherwise, I’m too cheap to buy magazines, but I really do love them a lot!

Before I moved, I always got Allure and Us Weekly (ahem, US Postal Service, ahem…YOU SUCK.)

I suppose I could just re-subscribe; since we’ve been moved for over 5 months now, I’m sure the subscriptions are done anyway (hmm, maybe I’ll do this today?)

Anyway, I do love InStyle, too, thank you for reminding me!

My magazine tastes have changed over the years. I used to get In Style, The Economist, Runners World and Real Simple. Now, I get The New Yorker and Atlantic Monthly. Most magazines run their course for me and eventually replay most of their articles. It’s at that point, I realize I’ve gotten all I need to get out of a magazine and deem it time to move on.

I don’t read magazines at all anymore, but I loved them when I was a teenager. I always imagine I’ll pick up the habit later in life with the imaginary free time I picture myself having. I feel like I’m in a weird stage where I don’t care about the teenagery/gossip style magazines, but I’m not at a point where I’m ready for the more mature magazines about design and cooking and stuff. One magazine I read for a long time was Runner’s World. My subscription on that just expired and I don’t think I’ll be renewing–it just makes me feel guilty!
