What are you reading at the moment?

Hi =). I did not exspect to have the time to read, but you know - a little now and then...ahaha. It took me two days to finish Zafóns 'Shadow of the Wind' and it has about 500 pages. =) Okay, let's see what I have here: The Instyle and Grazia are bought at the airport in Germany (April issues). I found the Allure left at our apartment (from last year). Now it's an easy guess where my fancy wall decoration comes from (in this post).

Then there are two books featuring the under water life here (always checking after snorkeling!!^^). And of course Carlos Ruiz Zafón's 'The Shadow of the Wind' and Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake (review is in preparation). You can find a review for Zafón here.

A German-speaking friend of mine here is reading the 'Psychologie Heute' (Psychology Today) and lending it to me^^. It is a magazine about the recent research findings in the field of psychology and related topics. Very interesting! What are you reading at the moment? Can you recommend something specific for this summer?
Love,

Fashion Mag Review: Grazia

Just introduced in Germany: Grazia, a weekly fashion/style/celbrity/mag! I waited for the second issue to appear in order to give an informative review. Price is considerably low: only 1 Euro!

Grazia covers High Fashion, Editorials, Street-Fashion, Style Check and latest Accessory.

Furthermore, there are make-up/beauty, interiour decoration, travel and health articles.

Stars: ****

I give this mag 4 stars out of 5, because there is one point that I dislike: several extensive celebrity reports are featured, and this is not the stuff I am interested on this paparazzi level - I have my own life. Back to the good points: Frankly I do not know yet if Grazia will become a constant buy or not. What appeals to me, is the high quality paper and the (in relation) many fashion-related pages. You get more fashion inspiration out of this (published 4 times a month!) than you get from the overall fashion articles in a monthly mag!

What surprised me positively is also, that there were a political and a third-world country article included - great variety! Check the mixture out, if your country has its own Grazia-Edition. They are available in Europe and many parts of the world already.

Love,
