Okay, Blitzers! It‘s time to round up all our November issues for our #MonthlyMagazineBlitz . How did everyone do in October? I, for one, managed to clean out exactly ZERO magazines. But I did get rid of approximately 6 billion mail order catalogs. 😂

TheBookHippie 😂😂😂😂 my grandson cut out what he wants from all the holiday flyers & magazines and glued it to paper …. I read zero magazines 😂😵‍💫👀🫣 2w
Susanita The catalogs are the worst! And now we‘re entering major catalog season. 2w
kelli7990 I haven‘t been reading any magazines and I need to because I have a lot. 2w

Another one bites the dust! I got a stack of these last night from the library downstairs. I use them for my kid‘s books and as wrapping paper. Would you believe I have already started wrapping my Christmas presents? Wonders never cease! The things you do on school holidays.

Yes, I stuck September‘s RS issues in a bag that is still sitting in my car! I did read one issue, however, as well as one more August issue before I left home.

On the other hand, I brought along the last few books I have from LFLs and finished one of them, so I found a local LFL and made a little field trip. It turned out to be quite well maintained, so I tagged it on my map app for future reference.

Okay Blitzers, it‘s time to gather up our October issues for #MonthlyMagazineBlitz ! I must admit, October and December are the two months I find it hardest to part with.

I started the month with six August issues and read two. Later next month I will be house sitting for some friends, and I‘ve bundled up the September issues to take with me. I might read some more August issues before I go…or I might not! #monthlymagazineblitz

Suet624 I'm impressed with your effort. I have way too many New Yorkers piled up waiting to be read. 3mo

Fellow Blitzers, it‘s time to gather up our September magazines, and prepare to transition into Fall. 🍁🍂🍁 How did everyone do in August, with the last of our Summer magazines?

Hello Blitzers! August begins tomorrow, so it‘s time to gather up all the August issues for #MonthlyMagazineBlitz .

I actually made quite a bit of progress in July - a refreshing change from the last couple of months. 😉 How did everyone else do?

TheBookHippie I caught up!!!! 😱 4mo
julieclair @TheBookHippie Yay!!!! Woo hoo!!! 🎉🎉🎉 4mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm doing pretty good! Except for my favorites I'm getting most of my magazine from Library on my Kindle 4mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig ^ I do need to organize my collection of Gardening magazines, I'm keeping for reference. 4mo
julieclair @Crinoline_Laphroaig Yay for making good progress!! I‘m trying to read more magazines online, too. Now that my piles are getting smaller, I‘m not eager to add to their numbers. 3mo

I ended up reading a total of five Real Simple issues this month which is enough for a little while. 😵

Be that as it may, the pile is definitely shrinking, and I plan to pick up the pace again in August. For the next few days, though, I need to read some library books!

I leaned hard into library reads in June, so I only read two out of eight Real Simple issues. Maybe I can swing back and pick up a few in July? Meanwhile, I‘ve kind of lost momentum with #readordonate but I‘ll try to do at least one book. #monthlymagazineblitz

julieclair I‘m carrying over a couple of June issues into July, too. And only one #ReadOrDonate book is just fine. Progress, not perfection, right? 💪 “We inch forward” is one of my favorite phrases! 😆😘 5mo

Hello Blitzers! It‘s time to gather up our July issues old and new for our #MonthlyMagazineBlitz. Hopefully we will all have some lazy summer days where we can just lounge around reading magazines! (A girl can dream… )

I have actually had some success this month in depleting my backlog of May & June issues. How did everyone else‘s month go?

TheBookHippie I got the backlog gone and dropped off 🎉🎉🎉🎉 books & magazines ! Phew. 5mo
Roary47 I need to get back in the game here. 5mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I just shoveled them into my book closet. 😂 And speaking of shoveling, just finished a big gardening project. Weeded and mulched front flowerbeds. Hoping for more time in July. 5mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig Im doing pretty good. Cleared out a bunch. But I've always have some English Garden magazines I've kept for reference. Also I'm buying a lot less because I can get most on Libby from my Library. Which is great because magazine prices have gone crazy. 8mo

You know I have to thank you @julieclair because of this challenge I cleared out my library/office so there is no extras anymore and everything is filed from years of not getting to it (and just sitting in overwhelming piles). All to find the magazines I know were buried. Here is my January stack! I included my Girl Scout magazine since it my first cookie season. 😱 #MonthlyMagazineBlitz

julieclair Hooray! Good for you! I‘m so glad the challenge gave you a little nudge, but you‘re the one who actually stepped up and did the work. Great job! 🏆 Love the GS Cookie catalog. 😂 I think I spy a peanut butter patty on there… yum! 10mo

Giving some magazines a go when can‘t concentrate on a book can skim what interests me. Why not something new using Libby ! Range of ones to try interesting really. Our library uses borrow box for audio and ebooks and Libby for magazines

Bookworm04 Is it cheating to add them to read if read them cover to cover with not being books 🤔🫣 (edited) 2y

I love magazines but I rarely read them anymore. I recently found these bookish ones at Barnes & Noble that I‘m looking forward too. It‘s been good timing for magazines as I know I won‘t be reading much these next two months because life has once again decided to throw me a major plot twist.

BookishMarginalia I love #OhReader magazine! 3y

Enjoyed all the bits of information I got from this, especially the ice cream YUM but it was interesting reading it right after the Stopping Pandemics issue since many of the topics overlapped. It's interesting what things aren't mentioned in this one, such as the women of color and where they were left with the new 19th amendment, which I felt the other #magazine covered more thoroughly #nationalgeographic #nonfiction

1st article of 2020: I hadn't realized the virus wasn't "new". Working at the airport, my family has been worried but I've just upped my precautions, washing my hands more frequently, and especially after I interact with someone who seems sick. Hopefully things get better!

"...quickly identified the pathogen as a coronavirus related to the virus that caused the...SARS outbreak...in 2002" #time

So this is a magazine I bought from #Califlair, an fanart artist I found a couple years ago when I was in the #OwarinoSeraph #fandom and now she's made this #magazine with original work!! And it's BEAUTIFUL. It also features other #artists and some #writers and has art #tutorials 😸😸😸

Check out her store: http://califlair.tictail.com
