The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

I'm looking for ways to incorporate reading magazines into my life. The problem is that all my free time is spoken for reading regular books! When do you read magazines?

I'm also a bit overwhelmed by the number of emagazines my library offers. It feels like I should be taking full advantage, though there's no way I could read all the interesting ones they have.

I read magazines whenever I have a few minutes to fill but I can't give my full attention to a book - e.g. when I'm waiting for the school bus (which is always late, but I have to be ready anyway because my son can't walk from the curb to the house by himself), when I've arrived at class but I have 10 minutes before it starts, when I've finished a book but I can't afford to stay awake half the night getting into a new book...

I also have this issue now that I am reading more books. My husband and I have the classic custom of keeping some in the bathroom! Also I can look at them while doing something else, like watching Olympics, when I might not concentrate on a book. I also might read them at night, not so much because I'm afraid of getting caught up in a book, but if the book subject matter is rather grim. (I often dream about what I have been reading!)

I only read paper magazines, though I do read various headlines and links to articles on line. But as a retired person, I have a lot more time than I used to!

Me, too. Horror genre reserved for sunny daylight hours only. LOL
