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 Addictedverse, 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 summer books! What summer book is at the top of your TBR this year to give you all those summer vibes? (Yes, we're fishing for recs!)

 Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! This week has flown by so quickly! We've been hard at work on all things Patreon, and since next week is the last week of May -- you can expect podcasts and Frog & Quinn chapters to drop very soon. It's going to be a jampacked week! We are so excited for what's to come. With Burn Bright next up, we love being back with the famous ones, and Frog & Quinn gives us our bodyguard fix. It's the perfect combo 🤝🩷

We loved getting to reveal Ben & Harriet character art this week! Honestly, doing reveals for this book has been so much fun. You can even expect another reveal next week 🥰

And thank you all for your excitement for Burn Bright! Seeing the comments here and on Instagram has hyped us up so much. Sometimes we get a little nervous starting a new series. Even with a "spin-off", it feels a lot like starting over. It was super difficult getting readers who read the Addicted series to start Damaged Like Us, and we always have that fear that the same will happen with the Cobalt Empire and Burn Bright. But seeing everyone's excitement for Ben and Harriet really does squash that doubt monster!

We also have a new mailing address. If you send us anything, please use this new address below:

Are we getting more character arts?

Dana Buscher

I absolutely adore this world you've both created for us! I will buy and read Anything that has to do with Families ❤️

Teresa

Hello!! I've been reading some small town romances by Elsie Silver i dont know if you would classify them as summer reads but they are very good. Will you ladies reveal how many pages Burn Bright is soon or alittle bit closer to release?

Natalie 👽🤍

Just finished Left of Forever by Tarah Dewitt today and cried so many times!! Excited to read the new Ali Hazelwood book soon!

Arrow

I’m going to watch this for ideas! I’ve been slooowly making my way through a Like Us re-read before Burn Bright. I’m currently on Charming Like Us. I have a list of possible other books to read next depending on my mood: Fourth Wing A Ferry of Bones & Gold (Soulbound Book 1) The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo The Pairing A Taste of Gold and Iron All the Young Dudes (Marauder’s Fanfic that I put down a few months ago because I started getting too sad since I know what happens to them in the HP books).

Alice

Not a book rec but I’m currently watching the buccaneers and loving it. Also everyone should watch Derry Girls if u haven’t already!!

Julia

I don’t necessarily have any summer books on my TBR, mostly just books I’ve been wanting to read or reread. I’m rereading the Preston Brothers series by Jay McLean before the fourth book, Liam, comes out the end of June, and I highly recommend!! It has big family/found family vibes and the first book is friends to lovers. Also, I just finally watched both seasons of Interview with a Vampire and 😍🤩🤯💕😩😍 I love it so much!!!! It was seriously so good!!! I binged it so quickly and I literally just want to start watching it all over again after some of the revelations in the last couple episodes to if I notice more now that we have more info about certain things. *very slight spoiler* At the beginning of season 2, i was kind of annoyed and didn’t think I was going to like it as much as season 1 because I do not like Armand and he was in season 2 so much😂😂 but season 2 turned out to be SO GOOD!!!!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I don’t really have any “summer” recs since I don’t really do things seasonally except around Christmas, but I think this summer I’m going to embark on a Black Dagger Brotherhood reread which is an undertaking since there’s like 41 with the spin-offs 😳😍… the first one, Dark Lover, was made into a series is going to debut on Passionflix on 6/5 and I’m dying to see it, so it feels like the right time to dive back in after it comes out… JR Ward created an INCREDIBLE series and world if vampires and found family mixed with romance and epic storylines that span all the books is your thing!

Yasti

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry gives off beachy summer vibes!! :) Other than that, I'd recommend The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren and The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston 🍋

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I still need to finish season 2 -- Krista has been getting on to me about it since it's been one of her fav series, and I was obsessssssed with the first season. But I def need to carve out some time to binge it bc I know I won't be able to stop once I start, especially if you binged both back to back too!
