Fizz Hangout Weekly Discussion: May 31st, 2024 (Patreon)

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!

Let's talk preorders! Do you like to preorder books or are you more the type to wait on reviews before ordering? (We tend to preorder because we love when a random book shows up on our door that we may have forgotten about. It's like a gift to our future selves!)

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties!! It's the last day of May, so we're winding down with the last of the promised content this month. Thank you all for your patience with these bonuses as we get back into the swing of things. We're attempting to write more in the "People Like Us" timeline, which means going back and rereading Charming, Wild, and Fearless and all the bonus content during this era. The research and rereading took more time than anticipated, but we're always trying our best not to retcon anything from previous books. Since there's a lot more prep work for these bonuses, we're going to try to binge write them while we're mentally back in this timeline. SO....that means bonuses won't be bunched up at the end of the month going forward. At least, this is the hope!

Dishonestly Yours Tour

We're so pumped for this tour! All the stops have been announced and now we're just waiting on the green light to spread the word on our socials. Until then: feast your eyes on ALL of the six tour stops.

Tuesday, July 2nd - Los Angeles, CA: Launch Day at The Ripped Bodice. Get your tickets here!

Wednesday, July 3rd - Dallas, TX: Interabang Books. Get your tickets here!

Friday, July 6th - Coral Gables, FL: Books & Books. Get your tickets here! 

Monday, July 8th - Atlanta, GA: Eagle Eye Book Shop. Get your tickets here!

Wednesday, July 10th - Phoenixville, PA: Reads & Company. Join the FB event and get your tickets here!

Friday, July 12th - Mystic, CT: Bank Square Books. (Not a ticketed signing, but an RSVP link will be coming soon!) Side note: This signing is super special since Dishonestly Yours takes place in a fictional Connecticut town, and the movie Mystic Pizza is highly references throughout the series for...reasons 😊

And if you're seeking a signed & personalized copy of Dishonestly Yours and can't make it to a tour stop, you'll want to pre-order it from the Ripped Bodice! This pre-order campaign also includes a character art print, and it lasts until June 25, so make sure you get your order in before it ends. REMINDER: We don't do personalized copies on our store, so this is a great way to snag a personalized & signed book!

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:

The store was fully restocked in April. You can see the restock announcement here.

ICYMI: IMPORTANT NEWS

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

WHAT'S COMING THIS MONTH:

Extra Bonus: Part 2 to Charlie's Offer is coming TONIGHT! It's a Maximoff & Charlie centric bonus, and we can't wait for you to read it soon!! Like we said in the weekly update, bonuses won't be as cramped together at the end of the month, so you can expect June's a lot earlier.
