I like gossip mags and fashion mags. I read probably 5-8 magazines each week; my mum buys them, gives them to me, then they are passed around to mum's sisters and my cousin, so they are well appreciated by that time. I always like to have something to read while I'm watching TV or have a bit of spare time, and gossip magazines don't exactly require a lot of thinking. Plus it's always funny to read the obviously made-up celebrity stories - made more obvious when one magazine will have one spin on a story and a rival mag in the same week will have the opposite spin. LOL I remember a few months ago one had a story about a holiday Prince William and Kate went on in which it was a 'pre-engagement' holiday and he gave her Di's ring and such. However, the same holiday in another magazine was described as a 'holiday from hell' for Kate as she had to put up with William flirting with other women and getting drunk and such. The hilarious thing was that they used the exact same three pictures to illustrate these rather different accounts.
Plus I read cooking magazines to get inspiration as well. I don't mind the ads as all magazines I read have ads so I guess I'm used to it. I opened one the other day that I'd already flipped through to read some of the articles properly, and thought 'oh I've probably gone too far along'. Actually I hadn't even reached the contents page because they usually start with 6 or so double page ads.
