We’ve made it to the end of May, and summer is just around the corner! We’ve got a bit of a mammoth newsletter for you all today, with lots of exciting updates 💛
READ GAY DO CRIME PINS!
To celebrate Pride month, we’ve released a new series of our Read Gay Do Crime pins, along with patches of all of the flags we’ve released so far! Our entire collection now features:
Aroace, Aromantic, Asexual, Bisexual, Demisexual, Demiromantic, Gay, Genderfluid, Genderqueer, Greysexual, Intersex, Lesbian, LGBTQIA+, Non-binary, Omnisexual, Pansexual, Sapphic, and Transgender.
We’ll be posting photos of our newest editions on Instagram in the next couple of days, but for now, here’s our first series of pins!
But that’s not all! For the whole month of June, you can get a FREE Read Gay Do Crime pin of your choice with any order over £25! To claim this offer, please add the Read Gay Do Crime pin that you’d like to your basket before checking out - as long as your order is over £25 it will be automatically discounted so that the Read Gay pin becomes free! Feel free to tag us in any pictures with your new pin, we’d love to see you all repping your pride 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
VENGEFUL GENERAL SALE!
For everyone who ordered our Vicious edition, today is your LAST DAY to use your early access pre-order link for our Vengeful edition! If you have early access and haven’t grabbed your copy yet then we’d recommend doing that ASAP to avoid disappointment!
For those of you did not order Vicious we have exciting news - we do have enough stock to do a LIMITED general* sale! This will not function as your typical general sale would, so please read all the information below.
As we've been advertising throughout the month, we have a waitlist for our Vengeful edition! From June 1st, when the pre-order period for everyone who ordered Vicious is over, Hannah will gradually be working her way down the waitlist and sending emails out in batches with the chance to purchase a copy. THESE EMAILS WILL BE SENT OUT ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS! If you are not yet on the waitlist you can still join it at the link below, as if we have any cancellations these will also be offered to those on the waitlist.
As you can imagine, this is a big task for Hannah over the next month as we have a very long waitlist! PLEASE be patient with us all as she begins to work her way through the list and please don't stress if you don't receive an email instantly - they will be sent gradually.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN JUNE!
June is setting up to be a very exciting month over at LitPins HQ! Our new Read Gay Do Crime pins aren’t the only new products launching this month… Arcane fans, keep an eye on our socials 👀
And Lockwood fans, don’t think we’ve forgotten about you! We’re currently finalising all of the artwork to send over to the printers (!!!) so we have LOTS of exciting art reveals for you next month 💚
We also have two exciting events coming up in June! Firstly, we will be at Anime Con at Birmingham NEC on June 13th, 14th, and 15th! We had so much fun at Anime Con last year and we hope to see lots of you there. After that, we’ll be at Book Extravaganza in Lichfield on the 21st. Entry for Book Extravaganza is free, so come along to say hi and maybe grab yourself a pin 🥰
READING UPDATES!
As we’ve reached the end of May, it’s time for our monthly LitPins reading updates!
Meg: Despite being in exam season, I’ve had a surprisingly good reading month! I’ve read six books so far this month and of them all my favourite without a doubt was Chlorine by Jade Song - I absolutely LOVED it and it’s definitely a new favourite! I’m also currently reading Lady’s Knight by [] which I’m really enjoying (if you can’t tell, I’m an absolute sucker for sapphic books.)
Jamie: Continuing the sapphic books theme, Jamie also is currently reading Lady’s Knight and read Bury our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab this month - I (Meg) read Bury our Bones in April and can confirm that it’s amazing, I can’t wait for it to come out in June!
Hannah: Hannah has been continuing her Fruits Basket binge this month, and also read Alien Isolation by [K R.A DeCandido! As for her current reads, Hannah is in slight chaos mode and is reading a million books at once… tune in next month to see if she’s settled on a book!
Have a lovely week all!
- The LitPins Team 💛
