The County Library discussion

Hello all! I know that this time of year can get super busy, so our December challenge is pretty easy. Read a magazine. If you don't have time to go to the library to check one out, try Flipster, our magazine app. Let us know what Magazine you read, and if there was an article you appreciated the most.

Happy holidays!

Are there any magazine readers out there?

Not here. I might read an article in one on occasion, but never the whole thing. Except Vogue. I'll read Vogue, but only for the pictures.

Not really, but I'll "read" People at lunch if I forget to bring my book with me to work.

I do have a couple of favorite magazines and this past year I got a subscription to the New Yorker, which I had great intentions of reading but didn't usually get very far.... Bust Magazine usually keeps me for a whole issue. They've got interesting content and have a great blend of interviews, pop culture assessment, DIY, music, and general topics. She Shreds is another fantastic magazine that libraries don't tend to subscribe to as it's super new and indie, but super phenomenal, as it focuses on rad women guitarists and bassists, where the most rock magazines like pretending women don't exist unless they're eye candy...

I only read The Ensign, Crochet World and Crochet! Magazines.

I got a subscription to The New Yorker this last year, too. There’s usually one or two articles that suck me in as I’m leafing through to find the cartoons (heheh). But I was surprised when I stumbled across half a page of short book reviews - now I look forward to that feature in each issue too.

I recently signed up for RoadRunner, which is a magazine devoted to motorcycle touring. I give it a thumbs-up. :)

I read through the Atlantic religiously (I also subscribe to their podcast so sometimes I just need to scan it) and the article of the year is clearly Kurt Anderson's "How America Lost Its Mind" a snippet from his book "Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire." I also get Tricycle and Scientific American and the wonderful thing about these magazines is that they can litter my coffee tables and even if they do not get read in that month, they are great for a mindful or mind-bending read for all to share.

Yay! Some magazine readers popped in. I like to read cross stitch magazines on Flipster. And LibraryJournal. When I was little I loved getting National Geographic magazine, I'd always look through all the pictures.

I read the zoo books or I did when I was a kids still do sometimes or the teen magzines or the people magazines

I'm dismayed that no one seemed to get my joke about reading Vogue, but only for the pictures.

I'm not a big fan of magazines, but I did read the BYU alumni magazine.

I read Sew News Aug/Sep 2017 on Flipster. My favorite article was Curve Appeal: Tummy Time.

Slightly more than a week to finish your reading challenge!

Trying to get in reading whenever possible!

Awesome Pamela!

If you read a magazine during December, make sure you put which one here, so that you can be entered for the prize drawing.

I got free subscriptions to Parents and Family Circle magazines this year. I read through the Parents December issue this week and liked a few of the articles.

I used to subscribe to Glamour, but I've definitely outgrown that now. but I still miss getting Entertainment Weekly!

One year for my birthday, my sister got me a subscription to entertainment weekly. I used to cut out pics of celebrities i liked and made a collage for my room. Good times. Excellent present.

I read the December Ensign Magazine from cover to cover. I also read all of Meridian Magazine most days. I enjoy both.

I read Watercolor Artist magazine this month. I read it every month. I have a subscription. I also read Ensign magazine. Subscription to that one too. Good stuff!!

I love Newsweek and Time, but it’s been a while since I’ve read either one. Maybe I’ll check out Flipster and see what’s there!

I read the Ensign magazine. Uplifting articles regarding Christ's birth.

Excellent. I love how so many of you guys are reading magazines. Only a few more days to post what you've read.

I like Make Magazine and my wife reads a quilting magazine. I should read the Ensign but often forget although I’m never disappointed when I remember to read it. I also like to read the BYU magazine.

I read Time magazine, the looking toward 2018 issue with the actors from "A Wrinkle in Time" on the cover. I don't like magazines and rarely read them. I usually read my work related ones, only. I would only search out magazines online if I saw someone reference an interesting article.

Only a couple of more days to finish this challenge. I'll post the winner after the new year!

p.s. Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New Year to everyone from me, too. And good luck to all who participated this month. A wonderfully unique challenge!

Justin is our prize drawing winner for December 2017’s reading challenge. He read the Atlantic for our magazine challenge.

Congrats, Justin! Great magazine!
