Magazine Days:

Because I was gone so much of this summer book touring, there’s a pile of unread magazines on my bedroom chair about 18 inches high. Some are from a Journalists Day Out I did with my friend Leslie last month but most are simply collecting dust from a few months ago. They arrived home. I wasn’t here.

So now that I’m taking the month off, I’m going to dive into this pile of unready goodness. Since I’ve never accumulated like this before, I’m going to be blogging what I learn right here.
