That sounds a great magazine! It doesn’t look like it’s available over here, so I can breathe a sigh of relief, secure in the knowledge that I am safe from it. I look forward to seeing what comes out of it for you though.

Inspired by your post, I picked up a magazine at Barnes and Noble last Friday that is sort of in the same vein as Slightly Foxed. The magazine is called Bookmarks: For Everyone Who Hasn’t Read Everything. I quickly skimmed it but will be reading it more closely this weekend. Because this is just what I need: more books

It’s a great magazine, and I love that it’s so different to anything else I’ve come across. I hope that at least one of these new authors works for you!

I’m almost grateful that ‘Slightly Foxed’ is too expensive for me to justify subscribing to at the moment and so I only get it when I spot a second hand bargain. I can imagine it would lead to serious financial problems if I actually read it regularly! I am very fortunate that I can read while travelling, or my working day would be rather horrific. As it is, I don’t really mind having to spend so much time on the train.

It is so very tempting indeed. Definitely worth having a look at if you happen to stumble across a copy.

This sounds like my type of literary magazine! I will definitely be checking out some of these selections. I love learning about books I never heard of. The Leopard has actually been on my shelf for a few years and I haven’t touched it yet.

‘Slightly Foxed’ has been responsible for more serious discussions between me and my bank manager than just about anything else. It should definitely come with a public health warning. And. I am so envious of you being able to read on journeys. As a life-long sufferer from travel sickness it’s just never been possible for me. Audio books have made a tremendous difference, however.

I have a friend who subscribes to this and I have tried hard to just plug my ears when she talks about it. Reading your post I can see why she loves it so. Tempting, very tempting …
