Yay, we're planner twins again!! I have the English HON in the same design too. I for one think it's a great idea and I love your fighting kids analogy 😂 That's how I ended up with three dogs lol! This is indeed the new Sanzen TRP. Honestly I haven't noticed a difference between it and the old TRP, but I use fountain pens and pencils; not sure what it's like with gel pens. I hope you love yours as much as I love mine! I've been dreaming of a hardback Cousin for years and now my wish has come true. I had it in a cover at first but then I decided I wanted to enjoy the full hardback experience as if it was a Leuchtturm or A&O, so I took off the cover, stuck on a Leuchtturm pen loop, and now my HON is as naked as the day it was born 😅

Congrats on querying. I've been really tempted to get a Cousin for writing stuff, and I think you've pushed me over the edge 😂 My poetry collection came out in November so I'm doing readings and events but also currently working on essays and applying to fellowships as well as doing some speaking on the side. Okay just typing that out I've just justified to myself I need it 🤣

PS this is the first year they've offered the A5 HON. Last year they debuted it in the A6 only.

Love this planner. I recently purchased the HON A5 with the Liberty cover and love it. I have been looking for just that type of cover so thank you for pointing me in its direction!

The 2024 planners are the new tome river paper, but not in the weeks size yet (except for the spring release)

Also I love the secretarial style pocket on the lihit lab cover because you can use both top bound and side bound notebooks in it.

This looks fantastic ☺☺

Loved the fighting kids analogy haha😂 Lovely to hear you are querying (and I learned what that means from you today haha). I have a Hon this year too, it just feels so ‘proper’ haha what do I mean?? Like a proper book haha.

I love that Hon! Unfortunately, I'm new to the planner community and didn't find out that the internals of the Hon are the same as the Cousin until after I bought a regular cousin so....next year, I guess. On a different note, did you get "nicey nice" from the made for TV miniseries of the 10th Kingdom from forever ago? Because I say that and that's the only place I've ever heard It from. The goblins that get sucked into our world through the mirror and play "Stayin alive" on a huge boom box? Yeah....or I'm just weird.
