magazines this week

The New Zealand Listener...I am a librarian, it is just too hard not to put the full title on everything. We subscribe to the Listener and as it is a weekly, it is often just a tv guide if we are having a busy week. Perhaps less tv and more Listener might be the key here.
What do I love about the Listener?
  • social and political comment
  • feature articles - relevant, topical, contraversial
  • books, arts, music,
  • gossip, letters, tv and radio pages
  • everything really!

The library has it so you can just plop yourself down and have a good catch up read while you have a coffee or something.

onHoliday ... this is a New Zealand title publised 4 times a year. It comes from the 'NZ house and garden' stable and is glossy and light. Covering local and international destinations it can be inspiring and interesting. I like how it focuses on interesting places in NZ and the websites, books and merchandise bits. It can make the most mundane place look wonderfully interesting. This month I got some good 'travelling with children' websites. We are planning a trip to Aus. so we are interested any any suggestions. There was also some really intersting info about the Weka Pass Railway which we want to visit in North Canterbury. Nic would love it. Nice mag.

These are my only mags this week. I have a few lined up for our camping holiday which I am looking forward to consuming page by page.
