What’s New!??!

New month, new things on Howard’s Pen!

So what is new?

Firstly, we got a brand new logo. Nothing changes in the brand but we just thought it more appropriate to have a new logo that reflects Howard the Bear more. A lot of people have been asking why a panda bear 🐼 (sighs), seriously we love pandas and we would want to go and hug one but Howard is a brown bear 🐻. We just wanted the logo to look more like one. (And yes, according to my brother – the artist behind the logo – Howard has some curly tops.)

Secondly, there is a new newsletter subscription option! Subscribe to the site and stay up-to-date with everything happening on the blog and shop and become Howard’s Pen Pal. And when I say everything, I mean: news on blog posts, new book reviews, updates on book series that I have started, and of course, new product releases… and maybe some coupons that will give you some discounts as you shop.

This is completely free and your email will be kept safe and private.

There are multiple ways to subscribe. First is when you go on the website, a massive subscription welcome screen will pop-up. The other option would be to look at the lower right hand-side of your screen or simply look to the right of the blog post that you are reading.

Actually the chance to subscribe is every where! Here is another one:

Other new things: we have new products! We have washi tapes, larger notepads, AND tote bags now!

The new washi tapes are a much loved product. They are the attention grabbers at the pop-up markets that I attend. Otherwise, the products you all have come to love are still on the site.

It is really best to subscribe as there will be more products coming soon! Maybe a back-to-school launch? 👀 🫣 Stay tuned!

And of course, my reading journey news. If you subscribe, you get to hear about the books that I have read a lot earlier than social media will. Get first dibs on book reviews and book hauls and book plans and all bookish stuff right here.

So, I guess… let’s stay in touch and… like and subscribe?
