I am so excited for the extra podcast about music! I know that you will link all the songs in the show notes of the podcast, but I was wondering if you could also make a Spotify playlist with the songs mentioned? I know that I will want to listen to the songs while listening to the podcast, and I think it would be really fun to have a playlist to go to in the future that reminds us of the addictedverse. (Edit: I just saw that the podcast was posted this afternoon…but my question still stands 😊) Also, I was wondering if you know when the Loathed Love release day signing will be announced? I’m hoping to attend if it’s in the northeast

Chassidy Matthews

Lily - the cure Olivia Rodrigo Rose - Father figure Taylor swift

Chassidy Matthews

Bonus ideas 💡 🦋 Harriet’s/phoenix first Therapy session 🦋 The double date concert 🦋 Harriet meeting all the hales ( since that was the family she thought she would fit in the best) 🦋 Cobalt outing w/ Harriet and Phoenix

Chassidy Matthews

Now that Audrey is older would she be invited to the tree house slumber parties w/ rose, daisy, lily, and Jane ? Possible bonus ?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're still waiting on confirmation from Bloom, so hopefully soon! But we do know it'll be on the east coast 🩷

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I'd have to chitchat with Krista to confirm/answer this, but I can say that we'd love to write more bonuses where the NYC family members and the Philly ones interact 🥰

Marisa

Thank you so much for the playlist!! I can’t wait to listen to the podcast. And I’m so glad it’s on the east coast 😊😊

Laci Hammond

Pheonix and tom: vodka cranberry. lily and lo: still the one shania twain ryke and daisy: work song hozier rose and connor: the great war taylor swift

Marisa

Dreams by The Cranberries always reminds me of Luna, Farrow, and the tour bus ❤️ So excited to have some more video (mini) podcasts! They’re my favorite!

Miranda Lefebvre 🌷🤍

I’ll be the first (probably not) to say that would be the greatest thing ever!! I need more of these most enjoyable events in my life!

frannypack

People watching by Conan grey always reminded me of charlie. Not the mood exactly but concept. July by laur elle I think of roxanne and that purely is vibes. Attraction by Peter crusader makes me think of ballet dancers after hours. The entire recent twenty one pilots albulm tom and phoenix. The song from the zenon movie is luna.

Piper

Charlie: If We Cannot See by Devics (especially the lyrics: “And everything you want You don’t have But you force yourself to look away”) Tom: Hear Me by Imagine Dragons and The River by Manchester Orchestra (especially the lyrics from Manchester Orchestra: “Me and my brothers We have tongues sharp as knives… I think I talk to you best when I sing I sing about almost everything”) Ben: Looking Too Closely by Fink Farrow and Maximoff: Just Breath by Pearl Jam Ryke and Daisy: May I by Trading Yesterday and She is the Sunlight by Trading Yesterday (Especially the lyrics from May I: “But I can see when the lights start to fade The day is done and your smile has gone away Let me raise you up Let me be your love”)

Elisha

I’m extremely impatient (many apologies🤣) so of course don’t answer this if you’re unable to at the moment but I know you’ve mentioned previously that CE#4 won’t be revealed before LL but can we still expect the announcement before 2026 ends? Can’t wait to listen to this podcast when I get home from work!💖

Morgan and Maria

What a question!!! Morgan and I are taking this extremely seriously but first off we need to say that I’ll Follow You by Shinedown has become An Event™️ in the car singalong setlist because of Lunelly so thank you for introducing us to that!

Morgan and Maria

Personally, Slip the Noose by The Maine gives me major Ben/Xander vibes (you might also be interested to know that they made an orchestral version of the entire album that song is on) - Morgan

Morgan and Maria

Sigrid - Jellyfish! Reminds of Xander and Spencer (but also potentially Luna and donnnelly for obvious reasons🙂‍↕️)

Julia

Most of the songs that remind of the Addictedverse characters are from your Spotify playlists for the books! Little Giant makes me think of Ben and is one of my current favorite songs, Bad Luck makes me think of Donnelly, and Don’t Delete the Kisses makes me think of Luna (those two were on my Spotify top songs multiple years in a row). Also so many songs on Kitsulleti’s book playlists that make me think of them! On a different note, will the location/details for the Loathed Love release party be announced soon? I know we’re still a little over 7 weeks away, but I’m hoping I can go, so I want to plan! I’m going to Indies Invade Philly, so hopefully I’ll be able to extend my travel and go to the LL release party after!💕

Marisa

Julia, I’m planning to do the exact same thing!!!!! Im hoping the release event is semi-near Philly so I can just jump from one to the next :)

Morgan and Maria

Also Home to You by Sigrid - very Ben/Harriet but also just CE in general🥹

Illyana

Afternoon, girls! Happy Saturday! ☀️ My favourite song to associate with the Addicted verse has always been the Lofi Girl radio on YouTube 🎧 I still have it playing whenever I read Addicted/Liked Us stuff. It goes back to when I was seventeen, reading the books for the first time while Lofi Girl (the sleepy ones! Like - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUXwdnOJ_z0&list=PL-ItWMmKNcF4hZEXXb1QgamdvgeZE2Sg1&index=45 ) was all the rage and blasting while I studied, so she's always been part of it. It's all very circular, if that makes sense! I always have some kind of dreamscape or ambience going on, especially for my fantasy reads ✨ I was super duper happy to see you managed to chat with me on some of my points from last week 🥹 I know you're both super busy and so popular now, so I totally understand if you can't get to everything, but I really appreciated it! 1. Right now I'm rereading the Dishonesty trilogy to get ready for book three 📚 I love Phoebe so much. She's such a modern, 2026 heroine: rough around the edges and so relatable, but not a Mary Sue 💛 Is there any chance of continuing the series? I know it was contracted as three books, but after what you said about traditional publishing red tape, could you pursue a book four or five? There's so much more fun story to tell! 2. I've also been listening to The Basement Yard, hosted by two funny Philly guys who've grown up together and just talk about everyday life 🎙️ Their closeness really reminds me of Farrow and Donnelly! What podcasts are you listening to? You recommended Popculture Leftovers YEARSS ago, but I remember they stopped because they were so overwhelmed. I've also got my UK news ones, because we're always changing prime minister here lol 🇬🇧😂 3. I'm so gagged that more artwork is coming, especially of the Addicted couples 🎨😍 I'm secretly praying for a bookmark per couple with the matching artwork, because that would be SO cute 🔖 But that's just me being spoiled 🙈 4. Lastly, what are you watching? 📺 A cheeky little segment in your weekly hangouts about what you're reading, listening to, or enjoying would be so fun. I can't wait to see Insidious in the cinema with Halloween coming up 🎃👻 I'm in a very spooky mood, probably all the adrenaline I've been holding lately getting channelled into horror 😂 Lots of love, and I hope you both have an amazing week! 💕

Illyana

Also i forgot to ask! I know dishonestly yours (best crew frfr) is trad publishing, but could we ever hope for bonus chapters for those books? :') I know i'm so spoilt lol

Illyana

Quick one, but this felt too opportune not to share since I just recommended The Basement Yard! 🎙️ I'm on the latest ep and there’s a segment right now where they're yapping about ranking which planet is the hottest 🪐 Jupiter apparently has a whole Cindy Crawford thing going on with the mole, which had me crying XD, and they decided Neptune's rings are overrated, because if you can't slide down them and they're just rocks, what's the point? 😂 Honestly, fair. It's SUCH millennial humour, and as a zellenial I'm loving it. It got me thinking that, even though the series is set in the future and the sliding timescale makes it tricky, Moffy feels so millennial coded with his anxieties and worries, and so does Farrow with how dead pan millenial he is 😂. I can just picture Farrow taking the absolute mickey out of Donnelly for being a millennial LARPing as a Gen Z because he's dating one and always on that tiktok LOL😭 Donnelly saying "it's giving" and "no cap" with his whole chest while Farrow just stares at him, dead behind the eyes 💀 That dynamic is some of the funniest stuff to me. What do you guys think? 👀

Aldana

bye X Circus Britney Spears & alatare mashup reminds of Roxanne Kotova Ruiz.

Aldana

PS. I love her so much my lily coded girl🩰💞

Aldana

Sister by The Japanese House to me evokes the depth of the soul bond between Charlie and Beckett

Aldana

Beckett- like I do by Ariana Grande Charlie- kiss me by Ariana Grande

Aldana

Teeth by The Japanese House. Elliot Alice Cobalt

Aldana

The lyrics of this song allude to what he can be masking behind his mirth

Morgan and Maria

Another Night on Mars by The Maine makes me think of the Yale boys 🥹

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Hi Elisha! At this time, we can't guarantee an announcement will come before 2026 ends for CE #4 since we haven't picked a date for that big reveal yet 💕

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're still waiting for confirmation from Bloom in order to announce, but we can say it'll be on the east coast! We're hoping we can nail this down soon so everyone who wants to attend has time to plan and get arrangements. We would love, love, love to see you there and celebrate LL with you, Julia!! Can't wait to see you in Philly soon too!!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We love seeing all your thoughts and recs on Patreon again!! Brightens our day every time 🥰 1. if we could one day return, we left open the idea of doing a Nova book where it picks up where DO leaves off in the epilogue. We'd thought about it a lot, so if we return, we know what we'd someday love to write and the themes we'd like to explore during that time in all their lives. 2. We're still listening to RHAP podcasts, who recaps Survivor, Big Brother, Traitors, etc. I listen to a little bit of Johnny Bananas' podcast for The Challenge, and we both listen to The Town pretty regularly, which is about the TV/movie/media industry. In replace of Pop Culture Leftovers, Krista listens to the John Campea Show for all the marvel news. I listen to The Midnight Boys in The Ringer-Verse pod. They remind me a lot of the friendship group from Pop Culture Leftovers, and their takes on everything Marvel and comic book related are really thoughtful and interesting. 3. Aww love that you love all the art! We've made bookmarks so far with the Ben/Harriet and Tom/Phoenix art. We usually ship them with the signed copies from our store (and have them at events on our table). But we should def make some more bookmarks with the Addicted art now! That's such a good idea. 4. Ooh that's a good idea to do for the hangouts if we don't bring back The Happenings! We both watched Furious from Hulu, and we really loved it! It kind of reminded us of the movie Promising Young Woman, which we really love too.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We could potentially add bonus with them on Patreon, even if they're trad published. So it's not off the table! We love that you love them so much! Means a ton to us, as we have STRONG love for those characters 🥹🥹 (I already miss writing Rocky's POV! xo B)

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Omg I really need to check out The Basement Yard! That sounds like my type of humor 😂 We were just talking to each other how Donnelly is more in line with the year he was actually born in terms of his lingo, most likely, compared to the others -- since we used more slang for him. I love the contrast between him and Farrow with this. Can definitely see it 😂😂
