The new year is a time of reflection, of hope, of adding a bunch of shit to your to-do list that may or may not actually get done once the glow of the fireworks and cheap prosecco wears off.

To celebrate all of the above, here are a bunch of new lit mags we just added to our database. Huzzah, etc.
