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!

Yes yes, this is coming Saturday, but we meant for a Friday drop, so just imagine it’s magically still the 29th ✨ performs magic spell ✨

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!

This is our very last Fizz Hangout before Burn Bright releases! So what are you most excited about for BB?

 Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! We cannot believe this is our last hangout before the release. Where has time gone?! We'll be doing some fun things this September in celebration. Starting with the pre-release party at the Fizzle Force Facebook Group on Monday, September 1st. If you've never been to one of these, they are super fun!! Full of giveaways, games, and teasers. So if you're still waiting to get your copy on September 2nd, it's a great way to build up even more excitement 🥰

This September, we'll also be doing the big "All About Burn Bright" podcast on Patreon. This is the "director's commentary" style podcast where we break it down and give our takes. It's a lot of fun and will most likely be a long one!

We have bonuses planned for you all as well. So great things are on the horizon! Our launch party is happening September 6th -- so expect photos from that if you can't make it. We will be sure to post a pic of Cardboard Ben 🫡

And lastly, thankyouthankyouthankyou to everyone who's preordered or planning to get this book on release week. It means the world to us that you're excited for this book and want to continue reading in this universe. It truly makes us sappy maple trees over here.

I got my order dispatch email today😭 I don’t think I can say anything specific I’m looking forward to its genuinely just the entire thing!!!!!

Arrow

I’m excited for everything!!! I can’t wait for this book!

Lucia

The question is... What am I not excited about?? I'm losing my mind counting down the days till I get to read the book. It's absolute torture!! If I had to choose (I change opinion every hour) I'd say I now need to know the reason behind Ben's secret :))

Morgan and Maria

I’m also so excited to see Frog and Quinn again my loves I have missed them 🫶🏻

dania

im so excited to see ben’s relationship with his siblings 🫶🏼

Willow Crossley-Henderson

I’m just beyond excited for more addictedverse family! I could read 1,000 books of these characters💙💙💙

millie (coballoway's version)

I'm so excited for everything, even the things I don't even know are coming yet! I can barely think about anything but BB and these last few days of waiting feel like the worst part 😭😭 I ordered another physical copy last night in hopes of it arriving early but so far it's not looking too good 😭 I'm hoping it arrives Monday even if I only get it a couple hours early bc I literally cannot wait anymore 😫😫😫

alexia

i’m so excited for everyone to read this book. it’s been my best kept secret & i’ve been DYINGGGGGG to talk about it with y’all!!!

alexia

congratulations KB❣️🌟i can’t believe this is happening 😭 i’ve never been apart of something of this special magnitude. it really is ensemble toujours 🩵🦋🌟🦁

Yasti

I'm just excited to be back in the HMC world after so long 🥹🦋 I've taken the day off to read BB so I'm excited to be fully immersed in it! 🤩 Can't wait for more Frog and Quinn! I'm going to have to reread their chapters before the new one comes out 🫡

Briana💫

So excited for everything honestly I just want to be immersed in the HMC World 💌

Carrie

I’m so excited that it’s a chunky book! I read so fast that it is nice to have such a large book because it means I actually can savor it. Finally got a chance to watch the livestream podcast, Krista you rocked it! I woulda panicked and just ended the session when Becca had to leave to deal with the fire alarm but you handled it well and kept doing some questions. Hope everything is ok now with the smoke detectors! Just curious have you guys decided about doing a live podcast again for the book? The all about the book podcasts are my favorite and it would be so cool if it was live so we could ask questions. Or maybe after the directors cut podcast you could do a live stream for any other questions people have? But definitely loved that idea to do it a week or two after the book is out so people can ask questions and discuss spoilers.

Hayat

CE has a mix of my all time favorite families (Cobalts, Kotovas, and Oliveiras) so seeing them all together in any capacity makes my heart soar 😭😭 Bit of a random question…earlier this year when you guys were doing the hale and meadows phone snoop you said doing the cobalt one would be a bit to spoiler-y at the time. After BB releases would you guys be able to do it? Set exclusively some time during BB so it doesn’t spoil any future events, ofc.

sarah

I was so excited to see the family dynamics again and you guys DELIVERED!! this book is so so amazing and I just can’t wait for everyone to read it! Congratulations KB, your writing is grandiose and Burn Bright is such a testament to that💙

Teresa

Iam most excited to see Harriet's interaction with all the cobalts. I did have a question if you guys are still doing the Live podcast where you can answer questions in the chat. Will you still be opening a post for All about Burn Bright so we can ask questions and you can gather them before the Live comes out and answer them there?

AJ

Eliot. Cobalt fam. Drama. In that order 🤣

a

I hope the all about burn Bright podcast will be discussing chapter by chapter cause i think NLU wasn’t like that right

hannah

I read super fast too, so I’m definitley looking forward to the fact that it is chunky!

hannah

I honestly don’t know if I could pick just one thing! I just so dang excited to have this book in my hands! I love that it’s chunky and I can’t wait to see all the little moments such as… Wednesday Dinner, family moments with Maeve, Tom and Harriet interactions, Harriet and all the Cobalts interacting, their love story, side characters too! Hopefully we got some Beckett and Jo banter! 🙏🏻 That’s all I could think of in this second! Honestly I just want it all!

Bruna

Of all things, I’m excited for the new POVs. I read the 2 chapters that KBR posted here on Patreon and that’s what got me even more happy that the release is only a day away. I always appreciate how they make sure to give us something new and fresh with each new book, but still maintain a level of familiarity in terms of world building. Oh and I miss Charlie lol

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I’ll talk to Krista and it’s definitely a possibility! I think their phones would change with each book though, so it might be something fun to update as each new book comes out (kind of like the social media followers post)
