Welcome to the newest Fizz Hangout! Every Friday, you all can stop by the weekly Fizz Hangout post and ask questions (to us or to your fellow patrons), discuss recent bonus scenes and/or podcasts with each other, and catch up on all the goodies you might've missed!

HANGOUT QUESTION: we love seeing your response to questions about the Like Us series, and it helps facilitate some awesome discussions! Each week, there'll be a new "hangout question" that you can answer in the comments, if you wish!

Which book in the Like Us Series or Addicted Series have you reread the most? Not a "re-reader" -- which book do you think about the most?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties!! We can safely say that this is the time of the year where it feels like we're "between" releases. The little gap of time where we really appreciate all of you being here. It's usually now that our doubt monsters come in and whisper to us that everyone has forgotten about our books and characters. So we truly cherish all the interaction here on Patreon! Even though we're between releases, we're deep deep inside the new world of con artists and the messy romance between Rocky and Phoebe in the Webs We Weave series. There's been so much going on behind-the-scenes, and we can't wait to spill all the secrets!

July really can't come soon enough. For those who've been wondering, we will be going on tour for this one. YAYYY! 🎉 We've been finalizing some dates, but hopefully we'll have news about that soon. We will also have a preorder campaign -- so if you love character art, stay tuned for more details about it as well!

And for audiobook listeners (we haven't forgotten about you!), there have been more narrator delays for Nobody Like Us, so the new estimated release date is in May. We're really sorry about all the delays for these audios. We've been bummed that the Like Us series had great production turnarounds all up until the end of the series. So we hate finishing it out like this, but we think the narration will still be worth the wait. Going forward with our audiobooks, we're going to try our best to make sure the release dates aren't so far from the ebook releases. And Dishonestly Yours should have a simultaneous ebook, paperback, and audio release!

On Patreon, you can expect bonuses towards the tail end of the month. We're on deadline and trying to wrap up some final edits before we turn the book in, so we're finishing that before diving into bonus scenes.

But in case you missed the fun post on Patreon this week, here's what went down:

THE SIGNED BOOK STORE

Our signed book store is restocked periodically. Keep checking it to see if a sold out item has been stocked. Any new updates will be posted here:

NOBODY LIKE US:

We have signed our stock! Be on the lookout for Nobody to hit the store. You will be able to ask for character notes in any edition of this book. We will make a separate post here on Patreon alerting you all when they go up on the store.

IMPORTANT: FULL STORE UPDATE

Once we sell out of our current inventory, we will be transitioning the store from signed books to signed bookplates.

What does that mean? The signatures won't be inside the book but your book will automatically come with a bookplate with both of our signatures.

Why the change? We no longer live together, so it's more difficult to carve out time away from writing to drive up to sign books. Bookplates are our solution, since we can ship them to each other.

If you REALLY need to finish your collection with signed books, NOW is the time to order them. Once a book sells out, the next time it's for sale on the store it will be signed via bookplate. (There will be an indicator when you're ordering a book signed via bookplate. As of right now, all signatures are inside the book.)

If you have any questions about the store, sound below in the comments, and you can always email the store at kbr.authorstore@gmail.com xoxo

UPCOMING RELEASES:

Next Up: Dishonestly Yours - July 2nd, 2024

Upcoming: Burn Bright - TBA

📍 Dishonestly Yours is a new romance trilogy releasing from Berkley Romance in July 2024. Add it to Goodreads. Check out the Pinterest Board

WHAT'S COMING THIS MONTH:

Main Bonus & Extra Bonus: We are going to stay hush hush on these bonuses for now. But expect two new ones this month!

Monthly Podcast & Extra Podcast: Two new podcasts are coming! These will be the first podcasts that we don't record in the same room together, so it should be interesting!

Extras: We're going to attempt another Cellphone Snooping extra this month! Stay tuned!!

Comments

Dani P

I'd say I reread Headstrong Like Us and Nobody Like Us the most

Sarah

I reread Kiss the Sky the most for sure but I think I remember scenes and think about Some Kind of Perfect or maybe Thrive the most, but for some reason I don’t reread them as much.

Andrea

I’ve read Charming sooo many times, probably because it feels like standalone more than the others ☀️ Hope you’re both having a great April so far!

Marcades

Kiss the Sky is my most reread book 💙💙 all of the books has such a special place in my heart, but Kiss the Sky is like that comfort character that I can go to for any type of mood, its like an instant serotonin boost 🤗🥳💙

Elle

Some Kind of Perfect, hands down. I’m a sucker for character development, and seeing the Core 6 come so far from their books makes me feel all the feels 😭

Mary

I think about tangled like us then both kiss the sky and fuel the fire since I'm obsessed with Connor cobalt! Also not me checking the signed bookstore every day for nobody like us 🫣

Lauren Gibbs

I've probably read Alphas or Charming the most, I just love them to pieces 😍✨️👏🏻 I'm also SO EXCITED to hear you'll be going on tour, I can't wait to heat more details~

Sarah Bee

Some kind of perfect! That book was on crack (in a heartwarming kinda way). And I just can’t stop coming back to it Everytime.

Lucia

Pretty sure I've reread SKOP the most. I'm actually in the middle of rereading it again now that I finally got the rereleased version (it took a while to get it shipped to Spain haha). I'm loving it as much as the times before, it's my comfort book and I'm so grateful you decided to write it. Lots of love ❤️

Arling

My most rereads are definitely Long way down and Tangled like us!!! comfort books if I ever had ones 😁🩷 Would love to see another Cellphone Snooping! I loved the last one

Ella

I think about Some Kind of Perfect and The Long Way Down wayyyyy too much. Please come to Seattle for the tour!!!!!!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

HLU is my comfort read because Marrow owns my heart and I’ll pick it up in between other books to take me back to this world that I love… but I’ve also read SKOP so many times it’s not even funny! I am never deterred by a big book and that one gave me ALL the feels constantly… And speaking of rereads, we’re in CLU for the book club and loving every minute of this romance between Jack and Oscar 🧡 as well as getting more of our resident enigma, Charlie Keating!! 💙 So many little things that could pop up in CE and the bonuses that accompany this book?? *chef’s kiss* and full of little treasure troves, like almost all your bonuses! Hope life is treating you both well 💕✨ *hugs and love to you two*

Abby (Eliot’s version)

We will NEVER forget these books or you!! We always yearn for more information about this world you’ve created, so never fear - we are in this for the LONG HAUL!! And between DY and then BB hopefully later this year, we are INVESTED and cannot wait for what’s next 😍💕✨

Jadyn

my most reread books are the first two addicted books!! i love going back to where it all started!!🤍 i thought that the only bookplates that were added on were the character notes. i didn’t realize all signed books would now be signed via bookplates, but i totally get it🤍🤍 i wanted to get the rest of the addicted series physically signed because they have my whole heart 🤍 do you guys know when they will be up on the shop and will they be signed when they’re available??

Kaitlyn Pasi

it’s either kiss the sky or some kind of perfect! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Dana Buscher

I love Lilo so Addicted to you I read Alot❤️

shi luvs st.cobalt

I’m not usually a big fan of re-reading things, but I 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 re-reading all of Marrow’s books! They’re all comfort reads of mine (especially DLU + HLU), so I always go back to them whenever I’m feeling down and in need of a pick me up. 🥹🤎 —— Also, you’re going on tour for “Dishonestly Yours”?! That’s 𝘀𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴! I can’t wait for the dates to be announced! 🤩🤎 (I’m also so excited for the preorder incentive for DY! I love preorder incentives, they’re so fun! ~~)

Arrow

Headstrong Like Us! This is my absolute favorite to re-read. It is a perfect book. I actually went to order the hardcover special edition this week and noticed it was out. Do you plan to get the hardcover back in stock? If not, that’s ok! I thought I’d check before ordering it elsewhere.

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

The reread we're doing on here is the first time I've ever reread any book so I'm not sure I can pick a favourite yet butt I can say NLU is constantly in my thoughts and ULU and HLU HAHAH and whichever book we're reading that week for the reread!! AHH A TOUR!!! And a preorder campaign? I need the character art 🤣🫠 SOO EXCITED FOR NLU TO GO UP!!

Shelby Keating

Addicted series its SKOP- 5 times all the way through but I also will go and just read a few random chapters for comfort sometimes But Like Us Series… I’ve read all 4 Marrow books 8 times each 😭 i may have a problem… i just relate to Moffy so much and Farrow is infinitely entertaining And I didn’t pick up any of the addicted/like us books until Jan 2023, so this is all within a little over a year lol

Shelby Keating

These numbers are deadass btw, I double checked in goodreads lmao

cass (ben’s version)

my most reread series is the addicted series, since i’ve read it 4 times start to finish. it all even because of that, but the ones i always think about most are kiss the sky, fuel the fire, and skop!!!

cass (ben’s version)

i can’t wait for dishonestly yours!!! the book tour is going to be so fun 😭😭

Shelby Keating

I’m so excited!! July cant come fast enough

Morgan

I’ve reread Hothouse Flower probs the most. It is my comfort book and Daisy is also my comfort character - so it makes sense hahaha! 💛 Love the whole Addicted series and am wanting to do a reread of the entire series soon!

Julie

Damaged like us. For sure. The addicted series was where i started and I absoloutley love it the most but it is too dark for me to reread. My real life has enough darkness.

deareaderzoe

Long Way Down, Daisy and Ryke are my faves and my comfort characters. Even with all the angst 😂 I just reach for it over and over! But also SKOP obviously 🥹🩷 will never be over that !!!

Defne

i think about kiss the sky a lot

Sara

This is a timely question bc I just finished rereading the first three Addicted books for the fourth time! I usually do a full reread of the series when I reread, but I’ve read Addicted After All one extra time just because it’s my favorite 💜

addy!!!!

fuel the fire and addicted after all 100%

Lina

I'm not big into rereading but I've re-read FLU 4 times and WLU 3 times.

Safiyyah R

Kiss the sky!! I actually had a whole conversation with one of my coworkers about how I liked reading and she asked me to give her one of my 5 star reads so I gave her addicted to you 👀(I work in Finance on Wall Street so I wasn’t sure if romance was her genre or if she was into other books LOL) she loved it and had lunch that weekend with a friend who also read the addicted series and now my coworker is asking to read kiss the sky bc she wants rose and Connor’s story asap 🥹💕

Farida

I think I’ve read Damaged Like Us a million times. I’ve lost count

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

The Lunnelly Books!! I think I’ve read misfits 4 times (🙈) and unlucky twice!! I can’t wait to do another re-read of the series when CE comes out :’D

Abby (Eliot’s version)

You do NOT have a problem!! I’ve read all of Like Us at least 20 times each from start to finish, minus NLU which I’ve only read 3 times so far, and some even more than 20 times because I love them sooo much and they’re comfort reads for me!!

Shelby Keating

I’m glad I’m not the only one lol, something about the characters just feels like home, I can’t get enough of it!

Illyana

Hello hello happy Sunday! 🦋🐝 Hope you girlies are being all restful and are not stressing out too MUCH with deadlines imminent! 🫨I had a gander yesterday the Webs we Weave Pinterest boards, and i must say i am VERY intrigued! 😱❤️‍🔥They are SOO interesting! And I love their aesthetics so far as well. 😮‍💨Especially the girl who loves horror. 👀👀Her aesthetic feels like its Luna Hale mixed with Kinney vibes which is fantastic. 🌈 The Like Us book i’ve reread the most is probably headstrong. I have probably reread the novel upwards of 15 times at this point. 🏆 But in terms of rereading in total, i’ve reread Addicted After All probably upwards of 30 times 🥵. I feel like it changed my brain chemistry. As well SMOP. It’s hard, because I am a massive rereader. Like Us novels are the only romance novels i actually read as gilded as that sounds. And then outside of Like Us, everything else is Fantasy, Speculative Fiction and more. I just feel like my cake is full up and done well by you guys you know? 😌 But i think the format of Headstong is my favourite. 🤭 I just loved having a novel dedicated to a pairing where the “stakes” weren’t so high as before and we could just “be”with the characters. 🥰Kind of like how People Like Us will be! Which makes me very excited. 🤩It makes me wonder and question if People Like Us if the terms of People Like Us will shift in the direction of being more of a “send off” novel like how SKOP is for the major couples as we transition to the Cobalt Empire, or if it will continue to be just focusing on the domesticity of Marrow, Mando and Jane etc. 😎Either way i am so PUMPED! Bc regardless it give my my daily dose of vitamin domesticity which i love. I feel like the chapters will be more like “Watching Batman Together” which is all i really want in life. 🫂🏆 And tbh, more time to spend it with my favourite Hales! Hopeful wishing Lunalley might also be included in the conversation, but understandable if not 😆 . Whats the Addicted and Like Us novel YOU have reread the most and for what reasons? 🤔 RE X-Men Chatter Honestly Lo rage reading X-Men is kind of the best image you could give me to make my day 😛🤣. He is so RELATABLE hahahahaha. And Lily being the forever Hufflepuff as he reads Cyclops being a background character or at the absence of ship wars or formation of friendships is just so REAL! 😂 One of my favourite Head Canons is thinking up that while other families talk about hollywood gossip or football talk, the Hales are gossiping, arguing and raging over the X-Men antics over the dinner table. I would just SOOO love to see where all their heads are at! 🤣And imagine in current timeline with Rip just in his wolverine outfit and Farrow just nodding away hahahaha . We got a smidge of it a bit during the Engagement announcement bonus scene from Moffy’s POV but that was less X-Men centric. 1. We know Jean and Scott dressed up as the Hellfire Gala Halloween party, is it safe to assume that’s their preferred couple? They relate to the whole, "childhood friends to lovers" or do they prefer probably, Emma who is a more prickly, more openly flawed lover whom they relate to? Or do they have a bone to fight with or against who Cyclops is with? 2. Which Hale’s favourite ship is Rogue and Gambit and why! 3. Is Polaris Luna’s favourite character or is it Illyana? 4. Who is MOFFY’S favourite character actually! 5. I have a HC that Kinney loves X-23 so who’s HER favourite character? I feel like she would LOVE Maddie and Havok? All that feminist (and valid) rage? 6. Who in the Hale HAS a soft spot for JG and Cyc and why :P and how would LiLo react! 7. Or who is the Hales’ unanimously favourite x-men character and why? :D 8. Would any of the Hales be on X-men reddit? who's a lurker and who's a rage commentator? :P Or even up the stakes when the Abbeys enter the chat! 9. Who is Willow’s favourite Krakoan character? 10. Would Willow and Lo agree on which is the best animation? I remember in a novel Moffy suggested watching X-Men Evolution. Is that their favourite animation? Or are they into the current X-Men ’97 animation more? 11. Who is a character both Willow and Lo (aside from Goldenballs hahaha) dislike in the x-men and wish dead? XD 12. Would any of the Hales or Abbeys listen to X-Men Comics podcasts Like Cerebro (a pod per x-men character deep dive?) or House of X podcast (where the co-hosts discuss each issue that comes out each week)? Or would they keep the X-men chatter gate kept to only Hales or Abbeys? SOO many X-Men fun questions! but I always think once you answer them they become Canon :P 🤗 13. Who LOVES the old comics and reading the retro Claremont stuff vs. Which family member only enjoys modern era stuff? Podcasts And Thank you for the pod rec Becca i shall totally check TV’s Top Five by Hollywood Reporter out! And yes! 😻Morning Somewhere is AWESOME! They just made a patreon for extra podcast material (like Q&As movie talks, etc) and they’re the ONLY other thing aside from the years here i decided to patreon 👾. They also did the Amazing Race 28 together? IDK if their names Burnie and Ashely ring a bell hehe. Bc i like them SO MUCH! i love how they are American but live overseas but still consume American media but also have a pulse close to UK and European conversations as well 🤓. Makes them super fair and well rounded! They talk about pop culture, internet memes, the current events, movies and show updates etc. They are just very much in the KNOW! And they laugh and are so kind to one another so much it's genuinely like a daily dose of serotonin 🍳☕️🥞. I cannot recommend them enough. I genuinely think everyone should listen to their 20 minutes a day podcast to just get the crash course of just staying updated in all cultural zeitgeists. They have great insider jokes that play off each podcast and so it’s just a great thing to tune into. I recommended in the previous blog post the best latest entry point bc the jokes start from that point and onwards so just listening chronologically till your up to date is the best way forward 🥳. I hounded you with X-Men Musings and Questions today so that’s enough chatter from me 🫨🤭! Lots of love as always Becca and hugs from a warmer, London as always 🫶🫶🫶🫂 L

nour el sabbagh

All the Moffy books for the like us series tbh SO GOOD and for the addicted series def kiss the sky and long way down!!

nour el sabbagh

STOOOOP i recommended the addicted series for my friend and I kept telling her JUST BE PATIENT UNTIL KISS THE SKY I loooooove rereading it too!!!

Morgan

I would say Damaged Like Us, Lovers Like Us, and Alphas Like Us are the books I reread the most.

Meagan

I love rereading. I’ve probably read Addicted After All the most, at least 8 times in the past 3 years. MLU is a close second in the amount of rereads but I can see NLU being tied with Addicted After All by the end of the year. I can’t stop rereading it.

Jess

Alphas Like Us for most rereads.

Teresa

Headstrong and Alphas like us are my most rereads. Do you ladies think there's a chance we could get a Jane and Thatcher wedding bonus scenes for Jane's birthday month in June ?🤔

Safiyyah R

Exactly !!! You get me 😌

Yasti

From the Addicted series, I've reread SKOP and Fuel The Fire the most! Long Way Down is my fave but it's too sad to reread often, and I prefer doing full rereads for that one :') From the Like Us series (which I reread all the time!), my most reread is probably Sinful Like Us! I loved the snowed in plotline so so much, and in general I just really enjoy Jane and Thatcher's POVs :D My second most reread is Infamous Like Us (I LOVED Banks in this one so much!). We had some really great side character moments in that one, with Jesse, Winnifred, Harriet, Frog, etc. That scene when Sulli and Beckett are talking on the yacht gets me every time :')

Krista & Becca Ritchie

So sorry this reply is coming late, but you've probably already seen that the addicted series is all up on our signed shop and available! We had a big restock recently! xoxo Thank you SO MUCH for your interest in them, Jadyn 💖

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I LOVE that you've read HLU so many times!! I have fond memories of writing that one with Krista. It's one of those "ooop it wrote itself!" kinda enjoyable experiences. I *think* I've reread Alphas Like Us the most. Definitely the beginning of the series books just bc I've had more opportunities to reread them since they've been out for longer. In the same instance, I think Addicted for Now I've reread the most out of the Addicted series, and maybe KTS and HF too.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

1. I would have to talk to Krista about a lot of these to reconfirm, but it would be *extremely* hard for us to see anyone in the Hale fam really loving Jean bc A.) LiLo wouldn’t really like her character, and B.) we have a hard time really connecting to Jean too. 2. Ohhhh Rogue & Gambit lovers! Honestly, could totally see Luna low-key liking them. I also think Xander would, too. 3. Illyana is Luna’s favorite. I think she relates to a lot of ppl not totally “getting” Illyana and other characters in the comics kinda writing her off as weird. 4. Good question about Moffy! You know, I do think he would likely say Scott Summers. Scott not only deals with responsibility and leadership but really morality in ways that I think Maximoff would connect with. 5. I would have to ask Krista about Kinney. Most especially bc she’ll likely be a main character some day and I would want to double-check with K. But I def think for the pure fact that she’s named after Laura Kinney, she would feel a kinship with X-23. 6. Omg I literally can’t even imagine. I think Moffy might act like he likes Jean x Cyc to get under his dad’s skin lol. 7. Unanimously? Again, I’d def need to ask Krista, but it’d be hard pressed for any of them to dislike Cyclops. I think with how much Lo & Lily just generally appreciate and really talk about Scott Summers. I also want to say Hellion, bc he really doesn’t have a lot of page-time in the comics, and therefore, he has less opportunity for them to be like, “I don’t like him bc of xyz.” And they know he’s their dad’s favorite. 8. Luna, Xander would be on X-Men Reddit. Luna is too sweet to rage-comment, I think, but she’d be opinionated and analytical. Kinney is the most likely to get in fights on social media lol

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It is a possibility, as we're heading back into People Like Us territory! We're hoping to get more into it in the coming months!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Aww I love that you reread SLU and ILU for those reasons!! It means so much to hear 🥰 ~ B

Jadyn

yes! thank yall so much! i was able to purchase them!🤍

Arrow

Thanks!! Believe it or not I actually thought you replied because I think that you posted about the full store re-stock just after I posted this comment. It was a very serendipitous announcement!
