My favorite journal is One Story. 
That’s what it is. One story. At a time. Brilliant. Every three weeks, one story arrives in my mailbox. I always keep a story in my purse. Or my pocket. I’m never without something to read. One Story is the brainchild of Hannah Tiniti and Maribeth Batcha. The first story was published April 1, 2002. I just received Story #109. They publish each author only one time. They also post an interview with each author on their website.
Some other great short stories I’ve read this year (all available online!):
- “Found Objects” by Jennifer Egan in The New Yorker
- “The Lie” by T.C. Boyle in The New Yorker
- “The Dinner Party” by Joshua Ferris in The New Yorker
- “Free Radicals” by Alice Munro in The New Yorker
- “Deep Holes” by Alice Munro in The New Yorker
