There is something about a printed page, holding a book or magazine in your hands and turning the pages, that is magical. That is why I am surrounded by books and magazines most of the time.
I have several magazine subscriptions and I usually read them cover to cover.
There is just one thing that is slightly annoying, that I have been bothered by for decades but never mentioned.
It is this:
Every 4 or so months I get this, a notice of urgency, that my subscription is about to expire and I need to renew, which is clearly not the case (I circled the expiry date). I signed up at the time for a 2 year subscription, and I keep track of this for a good reason. They are hoping I forget and send them more money, which I have to admit, I did in the past, and I might add, the new renewal date did not reflect the additional money I sent. It was not moved forward.
The expiry date is there, but if you are rushed, or enthused by how much you will save today, (in the above case it was the unbelievable amount of $251.75 so I’d only have to pay $17.95), you’d gleefully send them another cheque. It is easy to lose track of your subscriptions.
I know, a very petty thing to be annoyed with, but it is my Blog!
On a happier note, I just published another photobook to usher in winter. Very unusual for me to celebrate cold weather. Enjoy!
