Magazines - Which ones do you read/recommend?

As winter is quickly approaching (we just had our first frost warning go out for this evening), I'm organizing my magazines so I can read them over and over and over when it's cold and rainy outside.

Here's a list of what I read (in no particular order).

I'm really MORE interested in the magazines you read -- what inspires you? What magazines do you drool over? I want some recommendations!

Backyard Living
Eh. A little magazine. Renewed on a whim, but it will have to get better this year for me to renew again.





Garden Solutions

Came as part of when I joined the Garden Solutions Club ($25 coupon to use at one of their member firms, and 15% off every other purchase was enough for me to jump at the $15 price.) I wasn't expecting the magazine with the discount, but apparently they just started this one when I joined. Good info too. I really like it. Solid purchase.


Better Homes + Gardens
Visual candy, but I'm unsure about whether or not I'm going to renew this one...I've gotten some great recipies from this magazine, and sometimes really like their decorating advice....hmm.




Sunset
I adore Sunset. I grew up on it. My parents have been subscribers since 1978, and subscribing to it was one of the first things I did when I moved out on my own. It's gone through minor changes and updates, but I love how now it's going green. Just like me!



Mother Earth News
I stumbled across this magazine at my old job one day and instantly fell in love. I'm so disappointed that this magazine only comes once every 2 months. I read them over and over and over. And over. In fact, the reason I am doing this post is because I was about to go read some Mother Earth News' and I was compelled to ask what other folks read.



Garden Gate
A good little magazine (with no ads!) about flowers and landscape design.






Real Simple
This is one of the last vestiges of my consumerism. I don't want to renew it, but can't help myself. But I think this will be the last year.





Money
I like $. And seeing that I want to retire, buy land, farm, and maybe start a CSA, what can I say? This is the logical magazine.




Redbook
Desperately trying to get rid of this since I subscribed for a bunch of years and don't read it. I'm willing to give this subscription to someone if they want it. My subscription expires in December 09.
Email me k8tieroxor :at: gmail :dot: com if you're interested. Seriously.



Organic Gardening
Found this one at my chiropractor's office last Winter and had to subscribe. I wish this one came monthly as well!






What others do you think I should look into? I'm looking forward to what you have to say!
