Issue 2 of 12 magazine, Spring 2025, is for readers who see books as part of a lifestyle. This issue explores why we read, how stories affect us, and the connections forged through words and images. It covers all genres and formats, for any season or mood.
The theme is all shades of love and feeling. Inside, a psychotherapist discusses the appeal of dark romance and “bad boys.” The magazine examines a “generation without love” trend in modern prose, and what readers over 30 are choosing instead of classic sagas. It spotlights the revival of romantic comedies and includes a spicy discussion about men reading erotica, with a well-known blogger.
A feature on the “romfantasy” trend breaks down what to read and where to find it. There’s a conversation between Evgeniya Rykalova and Boris Makarenkov on the past and future of self-publishing versus traditional publishing. A photo essay pairs pets with books, plus a fashion shoot, a selection of the most anticipated spring books, K-pop coverage, 12 items for inspiring reading, and the magazine’s first short story.
Contributors include literary critic Tatyana Solovyova, psychotherapist Tamara Shaposhnikova, editor Alana Chelushkina, blogger Anthony Yulai, editor-in-chief Nastya Kasatkina, and book blogger Alexander Lazarev.
