Magazines, magazines, magazines!!!

You may not have guessed, but this post is about magazines :P . Yep, magazines - I'm a big fan and my current magazine tbr pile is pretty impressive. This is on account of the fact that a) I'm a reading addict, I have a tendency to buy reading materials; and b) I do magazine swaps.

Magazine swaps, in case you weren't aware, is where you swap your old magazines with someone else's old magazines - it pretty much does what it says on the tin. It's also an eco-friendly way to re-use old magazines before they go to that great big printing house in the sky. You end up with a pretty eclectic mix - I have New Scientist magazine alongside Marie Claire, for example, but that's half the fun! The only problem is, as I tend to buy more magazines than anyone else, I don't tend to get so much in return; still, what I do get I'm thankful for as it spreads my money out a bit more.

My magazines tbr list currently consists of:

• 10-15 issues of New Scientist
• 3 issues of Marie Claire (UK)
• 3-5 issues of BBC Wildlife
• 1 issue of Glamour (UK)
• 1 issue of the Big Issue (well worth buying!)
• 4-5 issues of Vogue (UK)
• 1 issue of Look
• 4-5 issues of Papercraft Essentials
• 3 issues of Empire

Quite enough for me to be getting along with! Be thankful I don't have the time or patience to type out my main tbr list!
