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!

Do you listen to audiobooks? Have you listened to any of our audios? If so, which narrator has been your favorite?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! Becca is finally home -- which means I am one step closer to seeing if she likes all that I've written while she's been away. I have been having WAY too much fun writing this next couple in the Cobalt Empire. The banter is just...🤌 Truly it's one of those times that the book is so much fun that I wouldn't be surprised if it gets written in a blink of an eye!

We're scoping out a date next month for the reveals for Book 2 and Book 3. There will most likely be a lot of reveals in November for the Cobalt Empire Series!

In other news, the Ricochet audiobook unfortunately does not release next week. We literally JUST found out that it is being pushed to November 25th. So mark your calendar for this change if you're waiting on this one! We're so sorry for the delay, but we think the wait will be worth it since Victoria Connolly has been doing a fab job voicing Lily! The really cool thing about these new Addicted Series audios is that 1.) You can now listen to them on more places than just Audible like SPOTIFY!! and 2.) The bonus material that is only found in the Berkley paperback editions is getting recorded for audio.

That means Ricochet has the "Notes to Future Selves" from the Core 6 at the end of the audiobook. And the notes are recorded by multiple narrators who will be voicing the Core 6 throughout the series. So this is super special, and we love that it gives you all a chance to get the bonus without buying a second set of paperbacks if you already have the indie editions.

Here on Patreon, we've had some fun posts! Another bonus scene is still to come this month. You haven't missed it! But here's what when down this week:

Extra: The Happenings with Krista & Becca 💕💛

Suggestion Box: Suggestions for the November Monthly Podcast (if you want a podcast topic to appear on the poll, then get your suggestions in ASAP since the poll will be going up this month)

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

Caro

Audiobooks is how I discovered you guys or should I say JF Harding led me to you 🤣

Jared Povanda

November news! That’s so soon! And so exciting!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

I’m so excited for you to show Becca all you’ve done!!! And the banter 👀😭😍 I’m ready and here for it all!!! Now to find out this couple and when it’ll be in my hands… hurry up November!! I’ve listened to Marrow books and CLU, plus the original Addicted/CS but haven’t started the new narrators yet (but I will since Ricochet is out soon!) but I’m excited to get BB next month too so now I have 2 to look forward to! Also, can’t wait to hear Teddy as Lo!!!

Isabella

BANTER, YESSS!! SO READY!! Counting down the days to know who is next🥹🥹

Briana💫

OMCC November!! So exciting, can’t wait to read the banter!! 😆

Piper

I love audio books. One of my all time favorite audio books is Love & Other Cursed Things. I have listened to it at least five times. I love all the other books in the addictedverse so much, but LOCT is my favorite book by you both. I love it so much. I know a lot of the times there is the question of where you would rather be: New York or Philly....but my heart resides in Mistpoint Harbor.

Assunta

Yayyyy!! Can’t wait for November!!! How exciting!!!! 🥰🤭💗

ash🧚

may i suggest the date.. november 10th…? completely random day.. definitely not a certain someone’s bday….

Mary

November!!!!

Flicka

So excited for November now!!!!

millie (coballoway's version)

I'm gonna be on high alert from November 1st until the announcement, I'm sooo excited!!!! I have all the addicted/calloway audiobooks and a few of like us. I've listened to FTF the most tho, I even listened to it at work once which was *not* a good idea 😭😭. also idk if this is just a me thing but if I've already read a book physically and then do an audio reread I can get really thrown off by American narrators bc I'm from the UK and don't usually give characters American accents in my head so it can take a while to get used to. I am really excited for all the new narrators and for BB next month tho!! one of my other favourite audiobooks is 'I'm glad my mom died' by Jennette McCurdy. her story is so moving and I love that she narrated it herself

Chiara

It's rare I listen to audiobooks because I get easily distracted 🙈 But I'd say I have a favorite voice cast that is the one chosen for The Empyrean series for the graphic audiobook 😭 just perfect. If you haven't listened to it yet I suggest you to give it a try! It would be amazing to have a graphic audio version for the Addictedverse too. ~ and I'm suuuuuper excited for the reveals 😻

m

Omg do reveal on Nov 15 🤗 bang in middle of the month seems perf

sophie🐝

Ahhh so excited for November!!

Natalie 👽🤍

I love audio! The narrator for Ryke and Rose are my favorite

shi luvs st.cobalt

I’m not much of an audiobook person (even though I wish I was). I’ve always been a visual learner in all aspects of life. I need visuals in order to fully comprehend + process what’s being said/happening, so whenever I attempt listening to an audiobook on its own…things just end up going in one ear and out of the other (😭). It pains me deeply because I love the performance aspect of them! :( I do own some audiobooks, though, because it’s fun to use the audios in edits and things! —— I’m so glad that Becca made it home safe and sound! :) I’m also glad that you’re having a great time writing CE #2, Krista! I 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 banter! It fuels me (and you both do it SO well 🤌)! I’m crossing my fingers that Becca enjoys what you’ve written! I can’t wait for all that’s to come in November! :) It sounds like it’s going to be a magical month (🤎✨)! ~~

Bea (never.stopreading)

I have a question! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I know that from now on the books in the store won't have a signature inside but will be accompanied by a signed bookplate, but I was wondering if there will be any signed copies (even limited ones) available when you'll restock the store adding Burn bright. And if they will include characters notes 🥹 (I'm not sure if you've already answered this question before and I missed it!)

Sharmoon

I wonder if we will be getting the titles o CE #2 and #3 when we get the release dates.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

The first run on our signed store, we do plan to have signed copies inside the book (and then they'll transition to signed bookplates). We'll also have Ben and Harriet character note bookplates for them!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Oh I loveeeed that audiobook by Jennette McCurdy! I love listening to nonfiction audios.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ahh my heart is so happy knowing you loved Love & Other Cursed Things! I often think of all those characters from time to time. I feel like one day we need to return to Mistpoint Harbor!

Piper

If you ever return to Mistpoint Harbor, all my wishes would come true! I need Brian's story! The sea shanty scene makes my heart cry every time!

Chiara

Aww, let me know what do you think about it if you'll listened to it🥰 I warmly hope you'll enjoy! (And Gabriel M. Michal's voice is just 🔥🔥🫠)

Sharmoon

This is wonderful news I can't wait !!!

Jess

I am heartbroken that it looks like this will be my last hangout for a while. I have been a Patreon member since Day 1 but simply can't afford it for November. I will miss this community. Love to you all!
