The one I remember most that I enjoyed was this Disney Adventures kind of thing with comic versions of the shows I liked at the time and now wish they brought back. I'm not sure if that was the name of the magazine exactly, but I know it was Disney something from the Disney Channel. I also liked Teen People and Cosmo Girl as I got older.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145481239329012631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-72552011524921289412011-06-13T11:17:58.934-07:002011-06-13T11:17:58.934-07:00When I was a kid my parents used to subscribe to N...When I was a kid my parents used to subscribe to National Geographic.

There was Readers' Digest, Country Living (despite the fact that we did not live in the country), and Family Circle. I did often times hit pay dirt at my maternal grandmother's home because while she didn't read magazines she was a member of several romance monthly clubs and the books were delivered in bulk every few weeks. From the ages of about 10 to 22 I devoured them every time I was at her house, even now I pick them up for nostalgia purposes every now and then.sunnynikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341529877046635063noreply@blogger.com
