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 Like Us series, 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! The question this week is...

Without posting spoilers, where are you currently in Misfits Like Us? Are you about to start? Still waiting to read? Are you already finished? If you're in the middle, drop the chapter number you're at 🤓

Weekly Recap

Happy Misfits Like Us Day, magical & superheroic beauties! Can you believe that Luna & Donnelly are finally here? It's almost surreal that they've been out in the world now, and that some of you have even read their story already! And omg, thankyouthankyou all for all the amazing feelings today 🥰💚🥰 We haven't been able to really celebrate yet (though, we are rocking our Lunnelly shirts today thanks to Haley!), and we've been popping into the spoiler post on Patreon. It's been making us smile soooo much! Knowing how many of you have enjoyed this novel is instant happiness, and it makes us a bit misty-eyed. We tried not to put too much pressure behind this one in case it didn't live up to expectations, but to see that it has met them for so many of you is such a great feeling. 

And more happiness is on the way because more Luna & Donnelly will be here! The bonuses this month are set in the Misfits Like Us timeline in their POVs 👽✨

Do you have an estimated time release for unlucky like us I understand in your podcast you both stated writing takes time and that you were going to be more private about upcoming releases but I was wondering if you have a date in mind are you trying to get unlucky like us released this year?

Mattie C

i finished it at the same time!! the only thing that’s making me not upset about how quickly i read it and how long until the next ones is all the bonus scenes i still have to catch up on!!

Mattie C

my first live release was infamous like us but being able to talk about it on patreon makes the experience so much better especially w the bonus scenes and podcasts💖💖

Ellieeeee

Finished already 👽💜💚 I cannot even express my love for every single one of these chapters 😭🥰

Ellieeeee

I remember seeing somewhere that they were starting a new series and that means Unlucky won’t be realised for at least another year 🥺

Erica Ruiz

Lucia scheefer

Currently reading it for the second time 👽💚

Erica Ruiz

I have to ask, is it coincidence that MLU drops the same weekend as SDCC?? A trailer for a certain show drops this weekend and it’s part of a Lunnelly scene. Girls, you’re geniuses!

Elara

72% through.

Lauren Gibbs

I'm at Chapter 10 right now, about 27% in! I'm having to remind myself that I can't highlight the entire book, but I've already laughed out loud and audibly swooned multiple times! 💕😍👏🏻

Nicole

Finished!

Rachael

I finished the book at 1:30 pm today

Caro

I can't start MLU until I finish Infamous Like Us! So I'll crack on with the audiobook this weekend. I am also hanging out for audiobook news for MLU

Sunjin

Calling it a night @ chapter 20 😴💚 Can’t wait to pick it back up tomorrow 🥰

Sarah Ennis

Briana💫

Need the next book already !!😫 it was so good

Lauren G

Finished! It was more than phenomenal ! I’m so used to highlighting and obsessing over every single Lunnelly interaction from previous books that I had to consciously stop myself from highlighting every line of the book 😂

Lauren G

Best book yet!

Michelle Roberson

I finished it yesterday (Friday) and honestly I still haven't recovered from the feels overload.

Danielle

About 75% in and it’s just amazing! I love Donnelly and Lunas love, they are just so sweet 🥰🥰

Teresa

Finished reading and is now reading my favorite parts ( there are alot for the second time) I don't remember if you ladies answered this before but why don't you guys give out Arc's?

Indiana

Just finished!

Sofia Ramirez

Is there an updated Like Us Series Timeline that includes Misfit Like Us?? I haven’t started the book yet and I’ve always liked knowing the books timeline before reading it 🥰

Cait

just finished and am currently unstable. i’m wondering how i’m supposed to wait one year for their next book 😭😭

Chrissy

Finished! I loved it so much

Ana Catarina Félix

I've just finished it ❤️😉👽and it was everything and more. I can't wait for unlucky like us 🤗

Andrea

on another note PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE WATCHING THE MCU PANEL AT SDCC what are your thoughts on their announcements?? I’ll admit phase 4 was just ok for me, it felt very random except for Dr Strange and Spider Man. But I am here for phase 5 & 6. New avenger movies??!!!

Marina Lima

currently in post mlu depression 😭

Meagan

I think I’m about 55% through on my 2nd read. It was so amazing. Luna and Donnelly deserve nothing but happiness

Kaitlyn Pasi

just finished the book! MY NEW FAV BOOK OF THE SERIES

Deniz

I am glad to not to be the only one. Even tough I love Krista and Becca's books, they make depressed afterwards making me think that I will not be able to be part of that kind of romance/friendship/big family.

Tegan

one thing i was unsure was if lo ever found out about donnelly paying his uncle for ripley cos it wasn’t outright said so i assume not?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Right now, we're just saying 2023 💗 we can't give much of a definitive date yet, since we won't know the date until it's closer to being finished 💖

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Also thankyouthankyou for your sweet words and for reading the book!! Sooo happy you loved it and Lo's relationship with Donnelly!! 🥰 🥰

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ahh thank youuuuu for all your sweet words!! So happy you were able to experience a live release and that you enjoyed this one! 🥰

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It'll be up in the store really soon! The restock is happening before the end of the month 🥳

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ahhh so happy you enjoyed it!!! Thank you for reading, Sasha 🥰 We're in discussions about how we're going to move forward with People Like Us at the moment, but for August, you can expect a Special Bonus scene with Lily & Lo, and we're going to be working on the Lunnelly "dirty dance" bonus (Sinful Like Us timeline) ☺️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

That was a TOTAL coincidence! And the best kind!! 😍 We've been in such a cave, we had no idea that SDCC was even going to happen this weekend until Saturday! xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We've had problems with pirating in the past when we did ARCs, so we stopped doing them 💗 and we also really like a release where everyone is experiencing it at the same time too.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We haven't updated the timeline yet, but we'll be updating the one on Patreon soon!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I'm SO EXCITED for The Marvels! I think I'm more excited for the Marvels over even the Avengers movies (but the titles of them are making me super hyped!!) Krista is trying to keep her expectations low, so she's trying not to be as excited, but if they start dropping more X-Men references/tidbits, she'll prob have a proper freakout 😂

Andrea

Krista has more strength than I ever could because it’s impossible for me not to be super hyped 😂 I’m excited for the Marvels but I wouldn’t say it’s my number 1. Phase 6 is still wide open, it’s VERY possible we get some X-men news. I can’t wait for Ant-Man 3 and the Avenger movies 😭 and COURSE GOTG 3. GOTG is probably #1 since they confirmed it’s the last one 🖤

Julia

Hey Kbr! I was wondering why the store is already sold out if you guys didn’t announce it was restock yet? is it actually sold out already?

Shea Thompson

I am pretty sure it shows "sold out" because they haven't restocked it yet. Once they do a re-stock and enter the inventory into the system then it will be available. When there is no inventory in the system then it shows as "sold out".

Krista & Becca Ritchie

What Shea said, it hasn't been restocked yet. We had to put the products up early because we had problems last time when we restocked at the same time as creating a new product 💗 There'll be a "restock update" post on Patreon when we do the restock xoxo

Rebekah

How long will character notes be available for Bad Reputation?

Jess & Ris NCBB

Will there be a preorder form for Shameless in Orlando? Hoping to snag any remaining books I’m still missing by then 😌 💋Jess

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Likely they'll be available for a full year for Bad Reputation, so we'll still offer them until Summer 2023 xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Hi Jess & Ris! YES! We'll have a pre-order form sometime this Fall for the event where you can pre-order any of our books. We'll be selling titles at our table, but not all of them. The only books that won't be in the pre-order form or on our table are ADDICTED TO YOU and RICOCHET since those will be the Berkley editions and have to be sold by the on-site bookseller (if Shameless has one) xoxo

Jess & Ris NCBB

Great, thanks so much. So looking forward to meeting both of you ❤️

Sarah

Finished, realized I picture Orla (well her character) from Derry Girls as Luna.

Vi Truong

I inhaled this book in mere hours!! I love misfits like us!! This is the favorite out of the entire series. It reminds me a lot of Lilo, garrison and willow, AND all Lunnelly. A lot of themes that are so damn relatable. Donnelly is my favorite character 😩 so positive after everything he’s been thru and the ONLY one that asked Lo permission 😂😂😂 though denied haha I can’t wait for the next one!!! Love love love .. sigh now rereading my favorite scenes the scene where Luna talks to Lo was 😢 wanting to make her dad happy but would make her miserable. I wonder if he thought of Ryke and Daisy and eased up. Maturity is Loren hale with a side of spit fire sarcasm
