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!

There's a few months left until the end of the year. Have you reached your reading goals for 2025? If not, what do you have left to complete? Becca and I usually don't have any reading goals. But we did start a 3-person book club with our best friend...and it's been on hiatus for the past three months because of travel and life. But our main goal is to restart it up before the end of the year.

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! I am officially BACK from Australia and New Zealand adventures. Becca will be coming home soon, but until then I get to be in the writing cave without her. Which means I am going into chaos mode on Cobalt Empire 2 and just adding whatever I want (HEHEHE 😈). This is either a great idea or a terrible one! Both of us do this often where we don't tell the other what we'll be writing because we like it to be a surprise. It's a good indication of a "first read" if one of us doesn't know what's coming next. The biggest downside is there's a much greater chance of it getting tossed or having big rewrites. Because, you know, she could hate it.

So keep your fingers crossed for me out there! I need all the good luck that she will LOVE what I'm currently writing. 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Speaking of travel, this jet lag is something fierce! I bow down to all of you who make these kinds of big trips often. It took me 5 days to recover from feeling like a sleep demon who needs constant naps. I have finally reunited with the fur baby Frodo, and he is super clingy. Like stage 5 clinger. Pretty sure this is his way of telling me to never leave him alone again 😂

October is still going strong on Patreon! We dropped the much requested updated height chart this week. Tomorrow you can expect the Extra Podcast to drop, but for now, this is what went down:

Extra: Behind-the-Scenes: Height Chart Updated!

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:

Burn Bright won't be in our signed store for at least a few months. Depending on remaining stock, it also might NOT be the deluxe edition that ends up on our store. So if you want the designed edges and spot gloss butterflies, we highly recommend getting it ASAP on other retailers since those are limited to a first print run.

📍🎉 NEW MERCH!! We have new merchandise up on our store. What's new in the store:

Cobalt, Hale, and Meadows embroidered hats

Cobalt Empire embroidered tote bag

Webs We Weave Merch bundle with embroidered patches and paper coasters

📍 20% OFF DISCOUNT CODE: FSY00TEJW4QT

The discount applies to all books on our store, excluding oopsie books, merch, and gift cards. This discount code will expire 10/31 and a new discount code will be generated for the month of November.

📍REMINDER: We are beginning to SELL OUT of books that we've signed -- and once these sell out, the next restock of titles will be sold with signed bookplates instead of our signatures inside the book.

The description on the store will note whether the book is signed or comes with a signed 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

For new patrons joining us here, we don't list all the extras we drop in this section, since sometimes we'll surprise drop things! So this isn't technically all the content you'll get, but it's the stuff we 100% have planned.

I have one book to read before I finish my reading goal of the year!! Feeling like it might be a reread of burn bright so I can properly annotate it!

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

HEHEHEHEHE KRISTAS BEEN UNLEASHED 😈😈 ALLL THE LUCK and jetlag is the worst 😭 hope you get some rest!! also bookclub with ur bestfriend is 100% the best thing (from experience 😁😁) AND WATCH ME RUN TO GO LOOK AT THE MERCH

Kate

Krista drop another bonus scene while ur at it😂🥰🙏🏻

millie (coballoway's version)

hehehe the Cobalts would fully support chaos mode, wishing u all the luck, Krista!! 🍀 I only have 3 books left to hit my actual reading goal (67/70) but I'm hoping I can reach 80 before the end of the year 🤞

cat

i didn’t set a reading goal this yr since i’ve been in a slump 😔 BUT i have been doing rereads and they’ve honestly helped so much!! if i can read even two new books by the end of the yr i’ll be content 😁

Flicka

I hit my reading goal last month, I had a lot of fitness goals and I started the year off strong but declined when it got too hot and humid to run or walk outside (it’s just not as fun) 👀 so I’m doing somewhat of a reset and trying to be on my phone a lot less especially before bed. So glad you’re back safe!! I always need a few days of rest after being out of town even if I’m in the same time zone lol

Dana Buscher

Good luck and I'm 💯 on chaos writings 😂 I've reached my reading goals several times this year 40+ books and still adding to! It's an obsession 🤣

Jess

I am jealous of all the travels. I live vicariously through others travel tales though. We have had some big life events that have my reading taking a serious hit. First my son experienced a mental health crisis and then my Mom went on hospice. It is a lot. I read when I can. I don't know if I will hit my Goodreads reading goal or complete challenges i undertook at the start of the year---while I am sad about it I know spending time with loved ones trumps everything else. I think Burn Bright might be my top read of the year . The mental health representation helped me more than I cam currently put into words. ❤️

Olive

I have definitely hit my reading goals several times over. But I am always, always adding to my TBR (looking at you, Circus is Family) and doing rereads of my favorites.

Waverly

I've completed my reading goal this year. I wanted to be more mindful about the quality of books I read versus quantity. Also I just got my physical copy of Burn Bright, so prepping for a reread while listening to the Spotify playlist.

Arrow

Welcome back! I don’t have any reading goals either. I would like to start The Fourth Wing at some point and Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop. However, that might get derailed by holiday reads or re-reads. I tend to do a lot of re-reads.

Bea (never.stopreading)

Hi!! I’ve reached my reading goal last month! Even if you 🫵🏻 put me in the worst reading slump ever after BB lol. But I forgive you of course 💙

Kate

Can we pleasepleasepleaseeeee get an Xander graduation bonus scene in lilo pov💞💞😩🥺🙏🏻

Annie R

My reading goals are done so I set a new goal to read the complete addicted/calloway/bad reputation/like us + bonus scenes in chronological order. Just about to start some kind of perfect and can’t wait! Completely hooked again 🥰

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I definitely recommend Fourth Wing!! It was so addicting. I couldn't put it down -- K

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Being a book pusher is a hard job! I still have trouble convincing BECCA to read what I want her to read LOL 😂 -- K

Kate

YAYAYYY I LOVE U GUYSSS💞💞💞
