Do you still buy magazines?

I’ve bought woman’s weekly on subscription for years now it comes once a week unless the postman decides otherwise. It’s friendly and I like it my treat in my older years!🥰

Crossed post about libraries, libra.

I subscribe to the paper version of Private Eye and a neighbour gives me National Geographic when they have done with it but other than that, the only magazines I have are those that come with memberships to different organisations and charities, RHS, RSBP etc.

Do you have a library membership? It’s worth checking what’s available on online, where you can try out different publications to see what you like … and if you find something you like you could subscribe for a limited time.

Generally I don’t like reading magazines from a screen but will do so if the publication is quite expensive, as many are now, and there are only a few articles which interest me. I do that for New Scientist and New Statesman.

Or you could see what’s on the racks at the hairdresser or dentists.

If you have a library card you can register for their digital magazines and books.
They have a large choice, and freely available.
I read several which I read on my ipad.
We are under Lancashire County Council, but I believe many councils run the same scheme.
Worth taking a look.

Very true about women's magazines being full of celebrities. Also full of cooking and knitting which is not always of interest to me

No - only the Sunday paper that has a mag section. They’re not what they used to be, are they ?

I bought a Woman and Home last week when I had to wait in hospital and finished the book I’d taken.

There was nothing to read in it. Mostly about what celebrities did or thought.

I won’t be buying it again.

Readers digest magazine i used to have a subscription to it a few years ago. National geographic magazine is interesting
