currently reading - Winter 2010

[continuous updating // last update: 2010-01-28]


zines:
there are many more zines that i've read since i first started this post/list, and many that i keep at my bedside table... i've come to find it's very hard to keep track of them in this post, sorry ;-(

to cut a long story short, currently there's an "old" issue of Doris zine (#20 or 21#), Here Be Dragons #9,   Journalsong #6, etc
in the meantime, there is Avow #23, Tenacious (Writings from Women in Prison) #18, and a couple of other mini-zines are "bookmarked" with a bright-colored little post-its, desperately waiting for their turn to be read!...
