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!

You get to switch lives with ONE character in the Addicted or Like Us series. Who are you choosing?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties!! We've had a lot of fun getting back into the Like Us world with bonuses this week. These characters are truly our comfort characters, and whenever we return to them, we get the warm fuzzies ❤️ We're working hard on the People Like Us timeline while also tackling book 3 in Webs We Weave. So it's a little of a balancing act over here, but it's been super fun!

We also LOVED getting to chat about the Circus is Family series. We haven't talked about it on a podcast since 2018 (6 years ago!!!), so there was a ton to catch up on.

And we always say it, but your patronage during this "between" time while we’re between releases means the world to us. We're always thinking of new and exciting content for all of you here. Patreon is our happy place, and we hope it's a joyful place for you too 😊💗

Here on Patreon, there was some great drops this week. So in case you missed it, here's what went down:

Main Bonus: Farrow & The Keenes

Monthly Podcast: Monthly Podcast #80: All About the Kotova Family in the Circus Is Family Series

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 - OG Paperback:

We're waiting on these paperbacks to arrive to us, and once we have them in possession (and have counted how many copies arrived damaged lol 😅) we will restock them on the store. You will still be able to request character notes in these!

📍END OF SUMMER OOPSIE SALE: At the end of the month we will have an End of Summer Oopsie Sale. If you don't mind a little wear/tear on your copies for a massively discounted price, keep on the lookout for this sale. We'll have A TON of oopsies on the store!

📍SIGNED BOOKPLATES:

Once we sell out of our current inventory, we will be transitioning the store from signed books to signed bookplates. There will be a note on the book's product page if it will include a signed bookplate instead of signatures inside the book.

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.

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

Rose for sure, I want to be able to access her closet and run Calloway Couture. Also, Connor and her children are all incredible.

Ems.loopey

I would love to be Luna, she’s such a great and amazing character. Her friendship with Tom and Eliot is amazing and one of my favorite friendships, so i know i would have a fun time. And to be a Hale and spend time with the Hale family would be a dream come true. And Luna is also just my favorite character 😂

rr

Kinney hale because i just want to live the life of youngest hale kid and have lily and lo as my parents (whom i absolutely adore more than anything in fiction) 😭😭

Andrea

I’d pick Charlie, let me jet across the world like he does for a day 🙂‍↕️ How have you two been?! Have you been watching anything new? I’ve been rewatching Buffy because this time I swear I’m watching Angel right after 😂 (I have someone keeping me honest too lol). Also just gearing up for s8 of 911 (my ship is going canon I can feel it in bones)

Arrow

This is so hard. I think I’m most like Jane in my own personality, but I would so love to switch places with Kinney. I just love her aesthetic. I also really cannot imagine myself in a character that isn’t a lesbian. I’m still thinking about your latest bonus - Farrow and the Keenes. That was such a wonderful bonus scene a a great treat!

Zeynep

Roxanne for obvious reasons

cass (ben’s version)

okay i have to cheat here… harriet. i still believe she’ll be ben’s LI and you know… i love ben!!!! also she’s just badass. i love the drums but i am definitely rhythmically challenged lol. i’d love to be awesome at them

cass (ben’s version)

i’m moving into my dorm tomorrow! i’ve been strategically saving up the podcast episodes from the past few months for this exact moment. my restraint has finally paid off!!!

Jennifer H

I would love to say Daisy, but given her trauma, I would have to say maybe Spencer? Especially if she ends up being Xander’s LI!

Teresa

I would be Charlie, because I love traveling and just wish I could do that and explore for the rest of my life. I know you ladies have watched Ginny and Georgia and I don't know if you've watched the beginning seasons of Grey's anatomy but I see Georgia as Phoebe and her brothers mom from the Webs we weave series and Addison ( immediately her character popped up in my head when i read her name) from Grey's anatomy as the mom of Rockys and his siblings. What do you think?

Lauren Gibbs

So happy to be here in the between! ✨️❤️ I feel like I'd be body snatching someone away from their family, but if I could like symbiotically take their place then I'd probably pick Jane! 🌈 I'm so excited to listen to the podcast, life has been crazy this week for me but as a Circus is Family LOVER I am so happy!!!! 🥰🥰

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

LUNA LUNA LUNA ALLLLLL THE WAY no doubt didnt even think twice 🥰🥰 I'm excited for the marvel podcast bc I watched deadpool and wolverine and the entire time I was curious what you guys (and the rest of the hales) would think about it!!

Grace

I would want to be Rose definitely or Charlie or maybe Roxanne lol

faith

i’d say rose. she IS fashion and elegance and i love her. that is reason enough lol

Maria Mik

I would be Moffy so I can be with Farrowwww😍😍😍

Defne

Roxanne she don’t have a book yet but still i want to be her

Tina Norris

Luna. I love her free spirit and who wouldn't want to be with Paul.

rr

I kinda wanna know y’all thoughts on blanca soler as lily’s fancast.

Teresa

Hey ladies do we know if Camila from CIF series has siblings. I don't think it was mentioned in the podcast so I wasn't sure if it's been confirmed or not yet.i always imagined she had atleast a sister. But she could also be an only child. Thanks❤️

Yasti

I LOVE this question, and I love reading other people's answers!! On one hand I'm super tempted to say I'd switch with Ben. Pros: hanging out with Audrey, Coballoway as my parents, birds, environmentalism, (probably?) hanging out with my girl Harriet, college in NYC. Cons: Ben wouldn't want my life, and Charlie would be my brother and idk if he would tolerate me or hate me 😂 My second answer would be Moffy, mostly bc I would thrive in the Hale household, and I'd really enjoy Moffy's job! If we narrowed the pool to just the Core 6, then I'd switch with Connor :)

Sarah

Jane, she’s funny.

shi luvs st.cobalt

I would choose to swap lives with Willow! I adore her! I think her job would be a fun one to have and I would also get to travel a bit (which is exciting)! I would also love getting to chat with Garrison about fandom things! :) ~~

shi luvs st.cobalt

I relate, Cass! I wanted to be a drummer when I was younger, but I’m also rhythmically challenged (can’t hold a beat to save my life 🙂‍↕️), so that dream wasn’t in the cards for me this time around lol. I have a strong admiration for those that are musically inclined, though! They have superpowers in my eyes. ~~ 🤎🤎

Meagan

My first thought is Lily because I would love to have someone love me like Lo loves her. They have the deepest love. Second Luna. Her POVs are one of my all time favorites. I am a Hale girly through and through

Hooran

I addorree this answer 😭🙏🏻 tho I'm afraid she'll go through hell and back in her book bc of the famE 💀 like paps and fangirls will harass her like crazy

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We've both been doing much better since turning in the book! It's nice getting back to writing without a deadline staring us in the face lol. Hope you've been doing well too, Andrea 🩷🩷 We're actually both watching dancing shows right now, which is fun! I'm watching Pop Academy: Katseye on Netflix and Becca is watching Dance Life on Amazon Prime. She said it's giving her lots of Beckett vibes, so I'm going to have to tune into it! Okay, this is our sign to finally watch Buffy!! Everyone recommends it, and it's the one show I feel like we never watched🫣 (We have seen all the seasons of Angel though!) Can't wait for s8 of 911. I might just start back up right there so I can join the hype 😂 -- K

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Awww thank you for reading the bonus! It was so much fun to show more backstory on the Keenes 🖤🖤 So glad you liked it!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ohhh yess, I can see the similarity between Georgia and Elizabeth Graves! Especially with both of them being blondes. Also the Addison comparison is pretty good too. I think we have fan casts for the moms, but I don't know if we'll reveal them. I'd have to ask Becca! -- K

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It's possible it has been confirmed and we've answered it already and I'm just blanking...or this is something we've been holding off on stating. I have the worse memory off the two of us, so I'll have to ask Becca about it. I don't want to reveal something in case we were waiting to reveal it lol 😅 -- K

Andrea

Krista yesss please watch Buffy (and make Becca watch it too) as the biggest TV fans I know it feels criminal you haven’t watched it 😭 And for 9-1-1 you could just start on S7 if you don’t want to catch up with everything. Since they changed networks in s7 it does sort of feel like a fresh start, and bc of the strike that happened it’s only 10 episodes long. But I think S8 is going to be so good so I wouldn’t blame you if you just wanted to start there lol Idk if you or Becca keep up with the teasers but the s8 opening disaster is being marketed as a bee-nado (🐝🌪️??) which is just the silliest thing I’ve ever heard 💀 but I’m so excited
