Fizz Hangout Weekly Discussion: June 7th, 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!

This week's question is inspired by us being back into People Like Us! What scenes do you most want to see in PLU? People Like Us are scenes from Maximoff, Farrow, Thatcher, Jane, Oscar and Jack's POVs during Charming, Wild, and Fearless Like Us.

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday and Happy Pride, magical & heroic beauties!! First off, we want to wish our mom the HAPPIEST birthday (which was yesterday but we hope the bday magic is lingering) 🎉 She had a milestone birthday this year! We won't say what age, but y'all probably wouldn't be able to guess it because she looks young as ever (we seriously hope we inherit her fountain of youth genes!) 😍 Gina, our mom, is the powerhouse behind the signed store and our assistant in all KB Ritchie things. She's been our Rose Calloway from the start, and we're so grateful for her love and support over our lifetimes. Happy Birthday, Mom!

We're officially in June, which means all the content is yet to come, but it is coming soon! We're so excited that Summer is (basically) here, and we're also one step closer to Dishonestly Yours being released 🍓🙌🎉

And we're going on tour! Check out the full list of stops here: Dishonestly Yours Tour

We're nearing the end of the preorder campaign. So 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! 

Here on Patreon, we had a lot of posts drop. So in case you missed it, 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:

For all those waiting on their signed copies of Nobody Like Us, they have ALL been signed and all the character notes have been written. We're beginning to ship the last batches of these orders out 🎉

📍 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
