The Kari AnnAlysis

So most of the people who stop by here are looking to see what books I am reading. That’s primarily all I post about. But this weekend, I started thinking about everything else I read and wanted to see what you guys read on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

I always have a book in my purse. Right now, I am reading Mania by Craig Larsen. I read a lot of different genres. I like chick lit, I like young adult, but I also like a little mystery and suspense every now and then. I can’t read those too often though, otherwise I have nightmares (no, I’m not 7 lol).

I read newspapers everday. I normally don’t pick up a hard copy of the paper though. I have all of the local papers saved in my favorites on my computer at work. I always use these to see if there are any stories we’ve missed or should look into.

I am a sucker for the crosswords puzzle and the wedding section of the paper, so we do normally buy the Sunday paper so I can have both of those.

I go through phases with magazines.  At the end of high school and through college, I read Cosmo. For a while, I was in a big celebrity kick and read US Weekly. I quit reading those when I realized that everything in them, I’d already learned through a celebrity blog. Every now and then, I’ll pick up a magazine depending on who is on the cover, like the country music one I got because Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton were featured.  This past weekend I picked up the latest Marie Claire. I wanted it because a dress from this season of Project Runway was featured with Heidi Klum on the cover. I have fallen in love with the magazine now and can’t wait to get a subscription.

I have had my eye on, but haven’t splurged yet, on WV Living.

The magazine’s title says it all. It’s all about living in the Mountain State. I have seen a couple of copies of this, but keep putting off buying it.  They also made a WV Weddings magazine. I was kind of bummed when I saw this because getting ready for my wedding, I couldn’t find anything and was seriously considering getting some friends together and starting one.

My husband is a big magazine reader. He has subscriptions for 3-4 hunting magazines, he and some coworkers share sports magazines and he’s a Maxim man.  He hasn’t been getting the last magazine as much recently. I always read them after he did and they were extremely useful in one of my college classes where we had to show sexism. All I had to do was open a Maxim and my assignment was done.

So, now that you know what kind of reading goes on in my house, I want to know what goes on in yours. Are you strictly a book nerd? Or do you read anything and everything you can get your hands on?
