Hi all,

I am a huge magazine fan but I have noticed that the
magazines are piling up. It just seems like we have
less and less time to read. I have adopted the fine
art of scanning and usually opt for trade books/awards
blogs for other reading.

Like Annabelle, when I have a specific client/project
it filters what media I consume.
