Weeking Geeks this week is about one of my most favorite things: Magazines! This week's assignment is to post about the magazines we read. So here's a few of my favorites.
1. Bookmarks
2. Yes, I subscribe
3. Favorite feature: Highlights on specific authors.
4. What my interest says about me: I'm a book geek!
5. I've been reading it for about three or four years.
6. The amount of reviews they have is amazing.
1. Entertainment Weekly
2. Yes, I subscribe
3. Favorite feature: I like their Top 20 Lists
4. What my interest says about me: I'm a pop culture geek!
5. I've been reading for about a year.
6. No specific quirky thing... I just like their inside scoop on stuff and how it keeps you updated on everything. And it's cheap.
1. Mental_floss
2. Yes, I subscribe.
3. Favorite feature: Oh, there's tons. The 6 degrees of Ken Jennings.... Scatterbrained... Interview with the Dead... etc.
4. What my interest says about me: I'm a trivia geek!

1. Newsweek
2. Yes, I subscribe.
3. Favorite Feature: none in particular
4. What my interest says about me: I'm trying to be an informed geek!?
5. I've been reading this one about three years or so.
6. I used to read Time, then I switched to this one because it was a little cheaper, and because it seemed a bit easier to read. But now I'm not so sure.
Magazines I used to get but let the subscription run out: Real Simple, Oprah, Quilter's Newletter, Family Circle, Discover, Family Fun.
Magazines that get sent to us for free and we don't know why: Outsider, Field and Stream, Working Mother, Backpacking, Boy's Life
Magazines my kids get: Discover Kids, Girl's Life, Disney Adventures (before it died)
Magazines I'm tempted by: Writer's Digest, American History, crafty magazines
Magazines I wish wouldn't have died: Book, Pages
SO.... what magazines do YOU love?
Those free mystery magazines are very outdoorsy. I bet they were a gift from someone who wants you to do more outdoorsy things, except when you're at work, apparently.
ReplyDeleteYeah, at the work that I don't have! :) I think my husband got on some outdoorsy list. But they are nice magazines... and I find it strange they'd just send them for free... instead of just a sample copy or something.
ReplyDeleteI miss Pages! It was my favorite magazine before it died. :-(
ReplyDeleteI only wrote about Bookmarks--you have great taste!! I had to laugh about your free magazines. We started to get TV Guide for free about a year ago for no apparent reason. Then they called to see if I wanted to renew and I very emphatically told them NO! Guess what is still coming each week?!
ReplyDeleteThe magazine All For You looks very intersting--I have never seen it before. You are the 2nd person to mention Mental Floss and I am very strongly considering checking this one out for me and my boys.

mental floss and bookmarks are two of my favorite magazines. I wish I subscribed to bookmarks. The only things we get are Brain. Child (AWESOME parenting mag), US News and World Reports, and ESPN.
ReplyDeleteI've read several reviews of Bookmarks on Weekly Geeks. I may just have to check that out!! I wonder if our public library carries a subscription...

Bookmarks seems to be a great find from these weekly geeks posts. I don't subscribe, but maybe I should.
