Reading Material

After finishing a book I am in dire need of new reading material.

1.) Witch of Portobello by Paolo Coelho

It is a novel about a woman who is filling out her so-called pauses or spaces. She does this by learning new rituals and methods while traveling. The way this is written is like a compilation of interviews from people she meets. This way, they are the ones telling the story of Sherine.

2.) Highland Velvet by Jude Deveraux

A romantic graphic novel that depicts the life of the 4 Montgomery brothers. Each brother has their own novel and this one is of Stephen Montgomery, the second son. He is a rough man with no idea how to please women except in bed. He is to marry Bronwyn, a scotswoman who is not easily persuaded by a man and is in fact, manly herself. These two collide in a battle not on swords but with their hearts.

3.) Us Weekly

On the Cover: Hilary Duff, Lauren Cndrad and Taylor Swift
Of course there is always something magnetic about a tabloid magazine. All that juicy gossip and awesomely bad celebrity pictures, hookups and catfights. Who doesn't want to read this.

4.) NYLON Magazine

On the Cover: The adorable Zoey Deschanel
Nylon is one of the few magazines that, in my opinion, truly capture urban life, real good music, movies with substance and serious fashion. It has the essence of the anti-social, the unconventional, the eccentric, the outside-of-the-norm... The Underground World that is outside of the super fake Hollywood. It is just so.... Cool!

5.) Vanity Fair

On the Cover: The "enchanting" Amy Adams
Why Vanity Fair? Because there was no Vogue. Just Kidding! It was either this or Elle. Another joke! Well, why not? It does offer couture and runway fashion. I am a big advocate of fashion and glamour so this is perfect for me.

XOXO Yana
