I’m going to do a series of three or four polls about RT Magazine. The first is simply getting an idea of how many of you read it. I’ll be asking questions later about reviews and ads.
About Me
There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.
However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!
Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.
None of the options really suit me. I don’t subscribe and I can’t find it at any of my local bookstores. But one branch of my library (not the one closest to me) subscribes, so I take a look at it when I’m at that branch, usually when running errands in that particular neighborhood.
thanks jmc!
For future reference, you can add an answer to these polls, if none of the options suit you. So you could answer in the poll if you feel left out
I’m a subscriber and I read the reviews and articles.
Well, I’m a recent subscriber (as in just got my first issue), but it’s hard to find it. Barnes and Noble here doesn’t sell it and that’s the bookstore closest to me.
I just subscribed yesterday. Figued I took out anadd in the thing, I might as well get a chance to see it. :muahaha:

They keep it next to the sports magazines in the book store I frequent. There is no way I’m going to leaf through it while standing next to a bunch of guys reading (uugghhh) hockey and (oofff) football. My vote was a no.
I read it, I pick it up at my local UBS/Indie bookseller, I’ve been buying it there for close to 10 years now. I like to keep up with whatevers new each month.
I subscribe and I read that thing pretty much cover to cover, but I’m not sure if it has any influence on my buying.
:wiggle:
:bat: I’ve never found RT reviews very helpful. Never. :bat:
:doh: Have read the articles and reviews for years. Some of my favorite reviewers are no longer there for various reasons, but I still read what’s printed.
I tend to pick it up at the store and leaf through it quickly for colorful ads. I never get much time and it’s at the very bottom of my priorities for cash, but a great ad usually gets me to at least look up the book.
Smooches,

I always read RT, not for the reviews but to see what books are coming in the following months. I have to make my lists of what to buy :popcorn:
I read the articles (I wish there was more substance to them though). Skim the book blurbs and reveiws, more to see what the various lines are publishing than because I trust their reviews. :neener:
um, no. I know, call me lame, but it’s just not on my list of things to do. I even had an ad in there and never saw it. LOLLOL
