I owe this week’s Ten on Tuesday topic to Beth. She suggested 10 Favorite Magazines and I think it’s a great topic. I have to admit that I look at a lot of magazines since I catalog them for the library. That means every magazine we subscribe to lands on my desk first – lucky me!
- People. It’s barely a step above the Enquirer but I read it cover to cover every week.
- Good Housekeeping. They still have the best recipes and there’s nothing like the Good Housekeeping seal of approval.
- Interweave Knits. I honestly don’t love this as much as I used to but it’s still a good knitting magazine.
- Spin Off. I love when my issue arrives and wish it came every month instead of every other.
- Twist Collective. Granted, an online magazine isn’t the same as one you can curl up with but it’s got awesome patterns and that’s good enough for me.
- Popular Photography. Sometimes I just skim it but I always look through it.
- Bon Appetit. Food porn, my friends.
- Cape Cod Life and Boston. I put these together because they are regional. I enjoy reading them for the local flavor.
- Cooking Light. The recipe remake section is always good.
- Family Circle and Woman’s day. These two are kind of interchangeable, too, but the recipes are usually pretty good.
Those are my weekly and monthly reads. A good combination of crafting, cooking and general information, I think.
Good list! I’m afraid if I do this one, I might unwittingly confirm my weirdness…
Is it only Tuesday!? I’m so ready for a weekend. I’ll make my list here. The New Yorker, Twist Collective, Spin Off, and Cook’s (Smith reads Cooks and he sometimes cooks).
Ooooh, some good magazines in there! I realize I’m sorely lacking in my reading of knitting … hmmmmm, might have to do something about that!!
Sounds good to me! I don’t read a lot of magazines, but I do have a couple of favorites that aren’t on your list — and vice versa. Vive la différence!
So, what’s up with Cooking Light’s new format. Really miss the old version of the magazine! I love to browse through Coastal Living to see how the other half lives.
I like Cooking Light, too. Most of my favorite go-to recipes are from Cooking Light. I also love Yoga Journal, Fiddler, Old-Time Herald, Real Simple, Country Living, and Allure (my guilty pleasure – makeup porn). Oh, and Consumer Reports has a magazine called Shop Smart that I really like.
Good list. I like to think that People is quite a few steps above the Enquirer but you’re probably right. I still love it. Cooking Light made my list too. I love how they lighten things up.
Interesting list!
My favorite food magazine is Saveur – not so much for the recipes (though they are authentic) but for the wonderful portraits of other cultures.
I would add Sunset and Ode.
Ode is my current favorite magazine – its one about sustainability, life, and all sorts of interesting things from around the world.
I am going to have to check out Twist Collective. Good list…
I enjoyed reading your list. We have some of the same favorites.
